Dog Deaths Linked to Use of ProHeart 6

Ashley’s beloved Jack

I came across this tragic story today and immediately knew I had to share it.  If you use heartworm preventative for your dogs, this is a must-read before choosing which product to use.

In honor of Jack, please help Ashley raise awareness of this problem by sharing it with your friends and family, too.

"One of our beloved dogs, Jack, a 6-year-old, chow-lab mix, died yesterday. His death was very unexpected and traumatic."

"On Monday, May 7, we took both of our dogs to our vet for their annual check ups. It was a very routine visit. They were both checked for heartworms and parasites, weighed, and listened to. They were deemed normal and healthy. They both received their rabies vaccination, and a new vaccination that was recommend by our vet, ProHeart 6. Our vet simply said, “Hey, we have this new shot that we can give themfor heartworm protection instead of an oral preventative. It’s easy because it’s only one dose every 6 months.” Sounded good to us, so we agreed. That was it. That was all the information we received, and—by our own fault—all we asked for."
