Sentinel heartworm medication recall11/28/2023 ![]() I used to give my golden Sentinel only half the year. I am studying that now as would like to get OFF Sentinel. I am told that this product is not advertised for heartworms for legal reasons BUT it protects against them. Someone ELSE Who has several dogs and who I respect told me there is a product called PBG-51. I have not asked him about heartworms but I will. ![]() And it is super – SAFE! My doc advisor does not put the chemicals in his dogs either. S told me he just sprays and rubs it into the fur a couple times a week. My container arrived yesterday and I have already sprayed it on the dogs. It’s sold at Amazon by the quart but you can get a better deal by ordering a gallon. Says it’s great and it works! He lives in Missouri also in the country/ woods. He is very informed on holistic remedies, incl homeopathic, and says HE uses a product called CEDARCIDE on his several dogs for ticks and fleas. We live on a wooded lot in NC and I have NEVER seen a flea on her! I studied for 6 years for a PhD and my chair was the founding president of the American Holistic Medical Assoc, a former Harvard Neurosurgeon, BUT VERY BIG ON avoiding chemicals and pharmaceuticals whenever possible (which can be most of the time actually). FYI I have given my 10 yr old golden retriever the little round garlic capsules from Whole Foods-pinkish label. And what about Heartgard? My roommate uses it, but I think it’s just for Heartworm…īasically – is there a “best” combination, and what is it, or what is it that works for y’all?Ī few thoughts, as I am studying this topic as well. Well… My question is… Is it good enough? Is it really comparable/better than Trifexis? Do I need a complete pill or can I do the twice-a-year shot for Heartworm that my friend does for her dogs and not worry about fleas and such? What about topical anti-flea solutions? Do they work, are they good for the dog? My cousin was saying that he thinks it is much better to put chemistry (topical anti-flea stuff) on the dog than inside (pills that make his skin toxic to fleas), but he’s never had a dog. Bruno had his first April pill with no problems. It was also cheaper by like $100!!! So we got a 6-month supply of that. So I went online (for financial reasons) and was about to get him some Trifexis, but I saw another drug, Sentinel, which claimed to also treat and prevent all the worm types and kill flea eggs (not adult fleas). So they told me I can no longer buy the individual Trifexis, but only 6-month supplies at a time. Well, he was on that till March, when the vet decided that he had plateaued on weight and will probably never leave the 11-20lb segment. So, I figured I would ask – what do you all give to your dogs (if anything) for the ailments in the topic? When we got Bruno they told us that Trifexis was the most complete pill, for all them worms (treats and prevents), and kills adult fleas.
