I read so many different things on this I am truly having a hard time with what I should/should not do.

SO my questions to ALL would be in regards to yearly (after the first year shots)- what do you do with your dogs for monthly or yearly PM? I know some states vary this question in regards to rabies.

Also what do you use if anything for a heart worm medication and fleas?

I hear of the downside in some of this now with cancers etc and it concerns me, AS Well how do the Vets feel about these things? I know when I mention breeder mine rolls his eyes, just being honest and it can be hard at times to get the questions answered that I want so I am learning to change my delivery on that because I respect and have learned a lot from breeders and many on here.

Thanks!

We do the 3 year rabies, 3 year DHPP (No Lepto), and Bordatella. We didn't do Lyme this year, because her appt was in December, but I am researching that one a bit more. Cricket is on Heartgard Plus for Heartworm prevention, and Frontline for fleas and ticks(only in the spring/ summer). I plan to do the same for Clover. Clover has an appt on Tuesday for her boosters, and she will get the DHPP & Coronavirus I think. She will get her Rabies between 12-16 weeks sometime.
