Money saving tip on heatworm, flea contol, and intestinal wormer. Advantage Multi does it all in one topical dose per month.

My vet matched the best online price I could find, which was about $75 for almost 2 year supply (about $3/month). They let me get the size for 55-88 lb dogs, and gave me a cc syringe where one tube (4.0ml) should last 3-4 months. Dosage at the dog's weight x 1/2 x .1ml. At 18 lbs, Charlie's dose is .9 ml, which is less than 25% of one of the tubes.

Ivermectin is fairly inexpensive too, for only heartworm, but then you have flea and wormer expenses separately.
