Yeah. I was wondering if we should really try that black walnut thing that so many people tout as an alternative to "giving poisons every month." Well it's a poison in itself that people give 2-3 times a week instead of once a month. In my mind, a poison is a poison is a poison, and there's no other way I can get myself to look at it.
People also tout not giving anything at all and just doing heartworm tests every 6 months, because "vital animals don't get parasites." Well Vlad is far from vital, and I don't trust that. I don't think it would be good for him to have to go through heartworm treatment.
So I'm just sticking with what we're doing since they don't have heartworms. There are already swarms of mosquitoes down at the driveway.
