I just found out that our 5 year old pit bull has heart worm. He was tested about 7 months ago and it was negative, So i am hoping we caught it in time to save him. I am reading about natural or herbal cures for heartworm. I would love to hear from anyone who has been through this or can offer me some advice. My family is in financial hardship and want to do as much for him as possible without loosing the house…… or having to put him down.

Hi Beverly, Absolutely, prevention is the key. Heartgard is not the only option, though, and there is evidence that it is toxic for pets - see here - Dangerous Chemicals for Flea Control - I believe the same applies to conventional Heartworm prevention, as Ivermectin is also an insecticide. Hi Carole, Rita and Anita, You're all on the right track! (in my humble opinion). There is a specific Herbal Heartworm Prevention Program described here. Regards, Brigitte

My dog is 2 years and 5 months old and had been on heartgard and frontline until she was a year and 1/2 old. I stopped because it’s poison and toxic and worked against her body so much for listening to the conventional vet that is pushing the pharm company’s products. We have horrible mosquito’s here in Georgia, but I have been giving her black walnut hull, pumpkin seeds, and wormwood as a prevantative that works with her body. Additionally it is all natural, humans can use it for parastites as well. Just google it and you will find stories where heart worm had been reversed with NATURAL herbs. Ivermectin is used as part of the treatment AFTER a dog contracts heartworm did you know they used to use arsenic to treat heartworm? Shame on the conventional vets!!!! Hope this helps.

I give my dogs Black Walnut, Ginger, Garlic , and brewers yeast in their food once a day as a prevention for all types of parasites.
I put 1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in all of my animals water to keep the mosquitos out .
And I spray the dogs with Lavender, Rosemary, Tea tree and Clove water once or twice a day.
My dogs are very Healthy And have no parasites. I belive prevention is the best way.
The convintional heart worm prevention has too many side effects …

We are fostering a tiny 10-year-old senior female yorkie (puppy mill rescue) with several health problems, including a Grade 5 heart murmur, hernia, cataracts, and emaciation…..3.7 lbs. Actually, she will probably be a permanent foster. She is improving daily, but still very weak.

We live on the edge of a wooded area and there are lots of mosquitoes. All 4 of our other dogs are being treated with Advantage Multi for heartworm protection, but this little one cannot tolerate any kind of harsh treatment, and so I am very interested in a natural preventative. I believe some of the essential oils (diluted of course) and sprayed on her would be a benefit since she has no other protection. I am presently researching what we can use on her as a preventative and which will not cause her any further distress.
