As far as tx goes there is really only one tx that is approved. There is an alternative tx that is not approved that has increased risk to your pet. Yes companies will cover all/ partial/ none of tx costs depending on your purchase history. Online purchases don't qualify for coverage
Thanks for the info. How do you feel about the Advantage Multi: Flea, Tick, and Heartworm (imidacloprid+moxidectin)? Doesn't work all that great for fleas and ticks but I've heard good things for heartworm prevention.
