Yeah, as I've said before, I wasn't impressed with the people we bought
him from. I hate to see a dog having so many problems. Madison, our
Spitz, was also from what one would term a "backyard breeder",
but those people cared very much about their dogs and you could tell it
from the condition the pups were in. Madison was NEVER sick her whole
life, until she picked up a stray tick and acquired some variety of
tick-borne disease (not Lyme), which gave her severe arthritis. She
finally passed away at about 15. She never had worms I don't think, her
whole life, unless she had them before we got her.

I put Newman on the Revolution because it was supposed to protect against
roundworms, hookworms, heartworms, ear mites and fleas and ticks. I
thought "Gee, it's so great to get all that in one
application!"  It's about $22 a month.  How much is the
Interceptor, and what do you use, then, for fleas and ticks?
