It looks like I'm going to be cracking into my ivermectin stash today.

It's time for my dog's monthly medication! How did I not notice this until today?

month as it takes a heartworm 3 months, if the mosquito is infected AND if the dog gets infected to reach the dog's heart. So why give this shit every single month?

I feel like it is toxic and yes it is needed but I don't think it is needed in the doses they give and how often it is given.

Especially in the winter months when no mosquitos are out!

TFG would need 12 packs. So, MAGATs, that’s your recommended dosage.Let us know how it worked.
