I just lost my dog from heart failure that began after I gave him Bravecto and then heart worm meds at a new vets insistence. She discounted all of my concerns about his autoimmune condition and I was confused and didn’t know what to do. She painted a dire picture of all the things he might get. Now I wish I had listened to my instincts. When he started to fail I couldn’t get him in to see this same vet and another vet tried to save him. Some vets are all about pushing product and others actually care. Anyway the whole thing is utterly heart breaking. He was my best friend.

I'm so sorry for your experience. I'd just like to suggest that you request the costs back from Bravecto though. It's their drug that made your dog ill. It isn't publicised in their information. So they should be taking the responsibility.

Shirley, that's a long time sick (and a lot of expense, as you point out) all to prevent a problem that Lucy never had in the first place, isn't it?
Such is the state of marketing, and why it's ever so important to keep on your toes and share your story like you have. Bravo.
Becoming the advocate of your girl is so, so important. That's my hope for all who read this website. If not you, who is best suited to be in this role? Certainly not your vet or Big Pharma, as you've experienced first hand. You alone have to be well informed and call the shots (in more ways than one).
