    Happy Monday Everyone! If you have come across this forum seeking information on weather to use Bravetco manufactered by Merck, you can see by all the postings it’s a very controversial drug that has some VERY SERIOUS possible side effect, a chance i would NEVER take as a responsible owner of my treasuered Doodles. It’s a gamble but it is YOUR decision. Judy i am truly sorry to hear of your bad experiences with Merck products. The corporate focus on Profit is indeed an evil seed. As for our friend Cameron, well….???
    As i write this post, my youngest, Escher, is having puppy dreams. Nothing makes me smile and laugh more than puppy dreams…

    Hi again Cameron, i can step in for Jane and a few others on this particular forum topic, I have a great suggestion and recommendation for your deep south Gal, get him on Bravetco right away before he falls ill.

    Thanks again Jane for bringing these facts to light so people can make their own decisions on the use of Bravetco! Yes i do. I was indirectly involved and do know the facts very well first hand but that is another topic on a different forum…seems like we lost someone…perhaps it was a synapse ( not sure if that’s the scientific term though… )

    Hi Jane! Thank you for your input . If you don’t mind, i’d like to go along with you but on a different tangent…So here’s my two cents…I’m not much of a gambler and much less so when it comes to the well being and health of my boys. Unless you are an expert in the field of Pharmaceuticals, it all boils down to trust. “Merck” the manufacturer of “Bravetco” has a documented and factual history of having disregard for human life when it comes to profit. I bring up the topic of “Vioxx” one of Merck’s “wonder” drugs for which they knowingly ignored trail data for profit! Now , I may not have a doctorate, but can say with a bit of common sense, that if a pharmaceutical co. tries to get away with such on people, it isn’t far fetched to assume that they wouldn’t do the same for animals. I’m not saying that they have of course, but thru a bit of due diligence, research this company and Vioxx and then tell me that you trust giving one of they’re products to your loved dog. there are plenty of long standing and proven alternatives that work just as well and have a lot less possible side effects and controversy around them and they’re manufacturers. I am a firm believer that NOT ALL, but a lot of respected Veterinarians including my own, know about as much about “Bravetco” as their drug sales reps. do. Anyone with that expertise and knowledge on any given drug would more than likely not be on the road as a sales person. I am NOT in anyway knocking valuable sales people …Just my two cents and i know this is not about the drug specifically but about trust in a lucrative manufacturing sector. Please do google for yourself Merck/Vioxx. This should get you started…http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/05/14/mercks-adhd-drugs-unsafe.aspx
