<sigh> I know that...
The point is that Heartworm is treated with Ivermectin.
If you treat dogs for heartworm, the same drug will also kill tapeworms.
Ask your vet.
I also use front line to control fleas on both cats and dogs, and front
line also controls ear mites.
In cats, I use Cestex when I see tapeworms. Since I have so many cats,
the vet just sells me a bottle of 100 tabs at a time for $160.00. When I
see tapeworm segments in the cats, I treat.
Cheers!
