I was really excited to find this for so cheap! My vet charges $10/month! Is this testimonial helpful?

78 of 80 people found the following testimonial helpful.
Over the years, I always bought Heartgard and other vet-promoted brands for preventing heartworm in my dogs. Sure it works but it's expensive. With our current dogs, I decided to see what my other options are when we found out I was pregnant and decided I should stay home. One less income was very motivating to do the research! I came across Iverhart Max and was really intrigued...especially since our dogs' fecals always tested positive for some of the worms Heartgard does not target. I guess they were getting the worms from the soil? Who knows...in any event, since I switched over to the Iverhart Max, no heartworm, no worms and a much happier bank account since the medication for the worms isn't cheap either (and being that I'm into natural/organic stuff, no more guilt having to treat our dogs with the stuff!). The only disclaimer I need to mention is that (as I far as I know), Iverhart Max does not offer the same guarantee as Heartgard that, should your pet get infected with heartworm while on the product, Heartgard will cover a portion or all of the cost of treatment. My vet told me that but I still feel more comfortable with the Iverhart Max and no worms :O) Is this testimonial helpful?
