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!

The only routine vaccine I do is rabies. Midnight got distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus when she was three. I will give her these shots one more time when she is eight.
She gets a monthly Heartgard tablet for heartworm prevention.
I don't have to use flea meds. She never has a problem with them.
