Heartworm treatment can range anywhere from $400 to $1500 depending on the size of your dog. Although regular heartworm medications will prevent your dog from ever having heartworms, we know that things happen and getting a positive result can be jarring! What has worked for us and many others is the Slow Kill method. This method is not recommended by standard, western medicine driven veterinarians but many holistic, eastern medicine driven veterinarians swear by this method and will continue to use it. What is the slow kill method? Well, it is a combination of Doxycycline (as prescribed for 30 days) and Moxidectin (once every two weeks) for 6 months. If you prefer to go this way, you will need to see your veterinarian and get your pet started on Doxycycline as soon as possible. For the Moxidectin, you will need to order advantage multi (for your dog's weight) on Petbucket.com. The slow-kill treatment for 6 months will cost you between $100 - $300 depending on the size and weight of your dog. Dog's have tested negative within 6-10 months of starting treatment. Although this process is a lot longer than fast kill, we do NOT want your budgetary restrictions to prevent you from giving your dog the care that they need or having to surrender them to someone who can afford their treatment.
