Buying Heartworm preventative in Canada.

Has anyone bought Heartworm preventative medicine , like Heart guard, from online stores in Canada ? Are they the real deal, and what about shipping from Canada to the USA ? From what I read, they don't require a Vet Prescription.

Unless you have some herding breeds, which have a bad reaction to Ivermectin, i would buy Ivomec, which has an active ingredient of 1% Ivermectin and give your dogs 1/10th of a c per 10 pounds weight. It will only cost you pennies a dose. Just suck up the correct dosage in a syringe, take the needle off and squirt it in your dog's mouth.

Not sure if it's still the case, but it was all but impossible to find ivermectin a while back. Some sort of unexplained shortage.

Veterinarians got their pointy little heads together, and lobbied to make it illegal to ship certain meds over state lines, Ivermec, and Rabies shots are some. My Beagle club had a kennel supply guy that got us Rabies shots, and 8 in 1 general shot AND the syringe for under $5. It now cost' me over a $100 for the same stuff thru the Vet.
