Is it OK to use Doncit in conjunction with a heartworm med that does NOT include tapeworm prevention? (Tri-heart Plus)?
-
Using Droncit and Tri-Heart Plus together will likely be safe and should not harm your pet. Both of these are prescription products and will require monitoring by your dog’s veterinarian. We recommend giving the veterinarian a call to be sure that they are in accordance with you giving your dog both of these products, because they may have another dewormer or heartworm preventive recommendation for you to give your pet. Thank you, VetRxDirect
