Starting at $17.65Preventing and treating heartworm using any natural heartworm prevention alternative medicine and natural means is not as simple as
swallowing a pill – whether or not this is a herbal or a synthetic pill. In order to protect your pet properly, there are a few steps that
you need to take. However, these measures will also benefit your pet in many different ways and protect against a wide variety of illnesses.
Heartworm prevention requires a multi-faceted approach
which includes not exposing your dog to mosquitoes as much as possible.
We’ve been
successful with a preventative program (along with the
Flea Free Food Supplement, which provides protection against mosquitoes,
flea, ticks and other pesky pests), but would not recommend this for dogs who are kept outside because they have increased exposure and
are thus at higher risk.
It is not recommended people go off their heartworm medications unless they agree to do so with their vet. There are plenty of alternative or
holistic veterinarians for you to consult with.
If you are unable to locate a holistic vet in your immediately, you can search for one using
the AHVMA (
American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association) directory. Many of these qualified holistic vets will work with your
conventional vet, and even provide telephone consultations, if appropriate.
This Natural Heartworm Prevention Program may be used under veterinary supervision as an alternative to conventional treatment and prevention
of heartworm or may be used together with the conventional treatment for further protection.
Another thing to consider is if you are in a climate area that has a winter and a period of time where there are no mosquitoes. Vets
generally do not tell you to use heartworm medication at that time of the year.
We still do the herbal program because Black Walnut is such a healthy supplement and the Artemisia
helps keep our pups parasite free.
Please use wisdom and common sense in deciding whether the natural approach is for you and your pet family. Since the herbal way is less
expensive than the drugs,
please be sure you make the investment to have your dog tested annually.
In summary, the treatment and prevention of heartworm disease in dogs and cats is a complex subject which requires owners to be well informed
about the risks and benefits of both conventional and alternative approaches. Whichever options you choose, following the guidelines above to
ensure a healthy pet, with a strong and well functioning immune system, heart, liver and circulatory system can help to keep your animal free
of heartworm and many other health problems.
The herbs used in this Natural Heartworm Prevention Program are from Nature’s Sunshine, due to their high quality.
