I am considering adopting a collie mix. I remember reading years ago that collies tend to be allergic to the normal heart worm preventative? I have been trying to educate myself on it and seeing some times you can give a shot twice a year, but some collies are still allergic to it. I am then reading they have to go on a daily pill, which sounds like it may be expensive or the very least, a pain in the wahoo.
I know there are some collie owners on here, and was wondering if they could speak up on what they do here and what is the topical expense? I am going to ask the shelter, as I know she is being kept in a kennel setting so I would assume she is also given something to prevent hw.
Thanks in advance!
PS I did try to do a search for this topic but kept getting every single thread that had the word heart in it...with dogs, you can imagine how often that word is used.
