How safe are heartworm preventative medications for pets?

There is a growing distrust of the safety of heartworm preventative medications in pets that is leading many pet owners to question whether the risk of the medication rivals, or is worse than, the risk posed by heartworm disease itself. In this episode, Dr. Roger addresses this and separates fact from fiction, true science from opinion, and real information versus misinformation on this very important subject.
