I have not seen your recent newsletter. Can you please add me to your list for all your mailings? I am going to subscribe by RSS, but truthfully, I’m not sure where these things are going.

But I would definitely like to be kept in the loop. I started up my Pet Guardian blog again. Between the two of us — and others, I am sure — we can spread the word even further.

Thank you so very much for all you’re doing for the animals!

Did you read my recent articles on Heartworms Medications and Pesticide Poisoning? Flea and tick meds are a big problem, too. My newsletter just went out and Heartworms are the first major subject. I’m writing Part 2 of Heartworms to go out soon. I hope you’ve subscribed to this blog so you’ll be notified. Maybe you’ll come back and comment again. Perhaps you’ll also bookmark heartworm articles at Delicious, StumbleUpon or other networking sites. There’s a link on this page. Let’s spread the word!

Thanks again. And keep up the great advocacy.

My dogs were early victims of this poisonous pet product. You can read Tasha, Niki, and Casey’s story under “ProHeart 6 Victims” at http://www.thepetguardian.com.

The FDA allowed Fort Dodge to back-door this product back onto the market without allowing us, the public, a “voice.” Thank God the U.S. dogs were safe for almost four years while it was off the market.

The pet-loving public should know: If you get this heartworm “prevention” shot for your dog, you are having literally a pesticide injected into them. Would you do that to yourself or your human baby??

Within 24 hours, this drug has permeated all organs of the dog’s body. If the dog reacts adversely, there is NOTHING that can be done to remove the drug from his body. The dog is forced to suffer the effects for as long as it’s in his body — if he can live that long. And since the drug is time-released, every month about the time the injection was given, he may suffer those adverse effects again.

I’m not saying not to give heartworm “prevention” — if you have to in your state — but don’t go the injection route, no matter who the manufacturer may be.

I cannot emphasize strongly enough: YOU are the expert when it comes to your companion animals, not your vet — and certainly not a drug manufacturer who cares very little about you or your animals. They’re in the business of making money, period.

BUYER BEWARE! Be safe, not sorry!
