There is an easy preventative for Heartworm. Guinness Beer, Black Label, Brewed in Dublin. 1/4 tsp per pound given orally at room temperature. Two weeks later do it again. Then monthly thereafter. It is all over the internet. Do your research. It has to be the Guinness brewed in Dublin, though. There is something about the hops in that particular one that kills and prevents Heartworm. For fleas, we use Vet's Best on Amazon but you can also use coconut oil or food grade Diatomaceous Earth. Research these two items and you will find much information on them for dogs. You can also feed your dog the Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth over dog food (1 tsp per day) to rid the dog of worms and parasites. lifewithdogs.tv/2014/03/does-guinness-beer-kill-heartworms/
