A representative from Wyeth-Ayerst Research (somehow related to Fort Dodge, the manufacturer of Proheart 6) commented on my previous post on the subject informing me that Proheart 6 is a DRUG, not a VACCINE, so I just wanted to clarify that to appease them. Thank you and I’m sorry for any confusion.

Be careful when considering the heartworm shot!
ProHeart 6 has come back to the market and I just wanted to share some interesting articles. First of all, ProHeart 6 is a heartworm prevention shot that lasts for six months. This product has previously been on the market, but allegedly was the source of severe illness and death. Here is an interesting article on how this product has been put back on the market. But before you get too excited, check out this article on why you may need to be wary.
I’m going to stick to Heartgard. If its not broke, don’t fix it. Maybe down the road if this product has TRULY proved to have reduced risk, I’ll try it. But my dogs love their chewy treat once a month!
