| Heartguard/9 weeks
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and I have to say the amount of info here is amazing. Great resource!
Last week I bought an 8 week old rottie pup. I have an 11 year old rottie as well. The 11 year old used to be ~125 lbs so I have two packs of Heartguard meds, one for dogs upto 100 lbs and another for dogs upto 25 lbs. My 11 year old has since lost 25 lbs (to ease his joint discomfort) so I only need the one tablet for dogs upto 100 lbs for him these days. FWIW I treat him all year.
The pup is9 weeks and ~18 lbs right now and the tablets are for dogs upto 25 lbs. From what Ive read/heard I don't think there is an issue, but I'd rather be safe than SORRY!
So my question is, is it okay to give a 9 week old puppy regular heartguard?? Or is there one made specifically for pups? Any other possible issues I should be aware of w/ this med when used on pups?
It's been getting pretty warm where I live and the insects were really starting to come out today. Any advise much appeciated.
