Question by MANDYLBH: If 2 dogs are in the same yard and 1 gets whipworm, does the other one have it also?
My Boxer, who is on HeartGuardPlus, was diagnosed with whipworm (fecal exam) It was explained to me that they live in the earth and that is how the dog contracted them. My other Boxer, in the same yard, for the same amount of time, was given the wormer also. HGP does not want to pay for the second Boxers treatment as there was no fecal done. While HGP does not put it on their label, they say it prevents whipworms also.

Whipworms do live in the earth for 7 years. If one dog has it then it is very likely that the other dog has it as well. I would switch your dogs to interceptor. It’s the same price as HGP and it states on the label that it covers all the same parasites and includes whipworm. I’m not sure why HGP doesn’t list whipworms on it’s label, but if it’s not boasting about it then I wouldn’t assume that it does a good job with whipworms.

Heartworms are literally worms that live in your dogs heart. They aren’t the same and you’ll need a specific heartworm prevention and also the dog will need to be tested.

If you bought worm medicine from a petstore, and not from your vet, you are wasting your money.

Those medications just don’t work. Go to your vet and get the correct medication that you need.

Yes you should wait at least a week before you switch medications.
