The Discontinued Pill Form (Beef Allergy Alternative)
Trifexis is available at an estimated 40% off
There was once a pork based heartguard pill (also called a tab).
Other heartgard products contain beef but this little ivermectin pill was pork based instead.
Being little and beef-free, it was previously prescribed for pets who could not chew
or for those that might have had beef allergies. Unfortunately, this little pill tabs variety is no longer available.
However, there is still a
heartworm preventative on the market, Trifexis,
that utilizes pork rather than beef. Trifexis is for dogs only, it has an artificial beef flavor but
is actually made from pork liver and soy - but always double check with your veterinarian first.

Why Prescriptions Are Required For Heartworm Pet Medication
Heartworm meds
do not kill existing adult worms, therefore it is important to test your pet
for adult heartworms before you begin a preventative treatment - otherwise the adult infestation could be missed
and worsen while you are under the false impression that your pet is heartworm free.
Requiring a test before beginning treatment helps prevent this oversight.
So, a veterinarian's rx prescription is required as a protective measure.
