Heartgard, Interceptor, Bravecto, Frontline: Which is best for my dog?
Heartgard and interceptor are equal. It is personal preference for your dog and you. Heartgard is a larger, chunky chewable which some smaller dogs may not like to where interceptor is small pile that can be hidden in a treat and raiser to give pickier dogs. Bravecto is a better product as it is a pill form and last for 3 months but frontline is a topical that last for a single month

How to refill Heartgard Plus for my dog without a vet visit?
Heartgard plus is a prescription only medication, so you need to get a script from Akita's vet in order to get it. You can call and ask them to write a script for it if she's been seen by the vet within in the last year. Otherwise, you will have to make an appointment.

Which heartworm medicine is best: Heartgard or Tri-Heart? CBD for dogs?
Your dog is so handsome! Both Heartgard Plus and Tri-Heart Plus protect against heart worms, but I personally like Heartgard Plus best. As of yet, we have very little research on CBD oil in veterinary patients, so we cannot make any recommendations one way or the other about this product - we do not know what an appropriate dose might be, and if there are any potential health concerns or drug interactions in dogs. In addition, because it's a schedule 1 drug, it's illegal for us to prescribe or recommend. I hope this helps!

Can my dog take Heartgard with Clavamox and FortiFlora together?
Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, it is perfectly fine to give Biscuit her usual monthly Heartgard dose. This should not have any effect on the other medications she is taking. I hope this is helpful!
