I took it very seriously, no the alcohol did not alter the test results. The test is 98% accurate and there was no other treatment. This saved my dogs life and saved me a couple thousand dollars in Vet bills. The treatment the vet gives is expensive and very aggressive and causes the heartworms to release a toxic poison which makes the dog even sicker. From what I understand the hops from that area make the heartworms sterile and make them age faster. They do not reproduce and they die off faster and they don’t release the toxin. When used as a preventative the larvae never grow to maturity. I’m not a chemist or medical professional so I don’t know if all that is correct. I do know that I have a dog that tested positive on three test and today four months later she tested negative and has no signs or symptoms of having heartworms.
