    which heartguard medication?

    which heartguard medication is "best" for a pom? Heartguard, heartgurard plus, interceptor, so many choices? Thanks.

    Ask your vet.  My vet recommended hearguard plus for my Shih Tzu.

    First off, a lot of folks here check further than just 'ask your vet' because often the vet sells what his/her reps tell them is popular and sale-able.  (That's unfortunately very true, altho some folks may be totally incensed by that statement.)
     
    Interceptor is generally considered the safest (least bad reactions) of all the commercial heartworm 'preventives'. 
     
    But honestly -- if you want the 'best' answer to your question, why don't you go specifically to a pom board??  Nothing against I-Dog, but if you want something geared ESPECIALLY to poms ask those who know them in and out, and particularly know the health related potential problems.
