Medication for puppies?

1005 Views 9 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  im_nice1
Our puppy has been with us for a month. At the first visit the vet gave us a free sample of heartguard and another for sentinal. she said that since sentinal worked for both heartworm and fleas we could give out puppy that and repeat the process on same day every month. Now we meant to order more sentinal for the coming months but forgot and now the 4 weeks are up. and petsmart said they dont carry medication. so our only choice is to order sentinal online which will take 4-5 business days. My question:

1-will not giving the med on the exact date harm the puppy?

2-if its essential to give the med on the exact same day then can I give the other sample heartguard med to her this month and switch back to sentinal next month?


Please could anybody knowledgeable answer! .....would be v grateful

What breed puppy? As long as puppy is not a collie, sheltie, border collie or aussie mix you can give the heartguard and switch back to the sentinel next month. You just won't have flea prevention for the month you do the heartguard or you can wait until the sentinal comes and just give the dose then.
