He said that if I gave it to my dog whole that it is possible that she would digest it quicker than her stomach could break it down. I don't know if this was his opinion or a result of some study but it kinda made sense to me. He also recommended the shot that lasts for 6 months.
I was at the Vet today with my puppy for 12 week shots. I mentioned my concerns of Heartguard and she said the same thing. Dogs may scarf it up too fast and to give him the meds in pieces...Dave, Im sorry to hear Bear is sick. Im sure he'll be better soon
