Question
Is there a natural remedy for heartworm preventative?  I have 6 dogs and want to protect them.  We have a severe mosquito problem out where I live at this time.  Also is there something I can put on them to keep the mosquitos off.
Help!!

Answer
Hi Kay - I don't refer to the Natural Heartworm preventative because I am fearful it is not 100%.
So, I do use the good old fashioned poison - in very small amounts monthly.
sorry - I can't help you with that....

Now, I do have a link that will help with Natural flea and tic control:  Many options :
