Hi Soph-

I understand that it has become a growing trend to try to attempt to do everything naturally with ourselves and our pets. What I think folks whos goal it is to go towards a more natural approach forget is that some things are necessary evils. Heartworm prevention is one of those things. I am unaware at this time of any “natural” non-chemical means to kill off adult heartworms or microfilaria. And I don’t know if you have ever seen a dog dying from heartworms, but it is one of the sadest, most heartbreaking sights.

I think just about all of the folks on here who take a more natural approach to their pets health, still use a heartworm prevention pill. That is one thing you do not want to mess around with.
