Summer is here! We hope you have some enjoyable plans for the Independence Day weekend, or can take the opportunity to just relax and enjoy some (hopefully) good weather.
While a reminder most likely is not necessary, we feel compelled to mention it anyway. If your pet is upset by loud noises, remember to keep an eye on them during the celebrations of this holiday. Fireworks can easily spook even the calmest of dogs, and there is always a spike in missing pets at this time of year. Please do not bring your pet to fireworks displays. Be safe!

HeartGard Plus Effectiveness Questioned in Lawsuit
The manufacturer of HeartGard Plus, one of the more popular treatments for Heartworm in dogs, is being sued by a former employee. The employee, Kari Blaho-Owens, claims that she was fired following a sequence of events in which she refused to destroy documents which raised questions about the effectiveness of the product.
HeartGard Plus, which is also used to treat hookworms and roundworms, is a monthly chewable medication, manufactured by Merial LLC. It was approved for use in 1996 with a claim of 100% effectiveness. The lawsuit alleges that the company became aware of reduced efficacy as early as 2002, but chose to continue to make unsubstantiated claims.
Ms. Blaho-Owens was hired by Merial in 2006. The prior year, Merial had conducted an investigation on an “increase in the number of reported cases of the lack of efficacy of HeartGard”. The investigation was launched following repeated reports that the product was not performing as expected based on tests submitted for FDA approval. Read More. . .
