Revolution and Advantage are the only topicals I'm aware of that that also cover heartworm protection, but they don't work for tick prevention.

K9 advantix II does work for tick prevention. I spend many early mornings in a tall grassy field beside my house doing training drills and have not had any ticks on my dog. My neighbor who has a pointer was covered in them last year and did not use any prevention on his dog. Even his wife and two kids were covered in ticks a few times last year.

I said Advantage YD. It's different stuff that doesn't have permethrin as far as I'm aware. I know advantix works as it has permethrin but I'm not sure if it has heartworm protection.

I do the same but I want Heartguard killing those possible immature heartworms from June to October.

I'm sure you know that Revolution and Advan TAGE is only for fleas. Nothing there for mosquito , deer ticks or immature heartworms.

No, I didn't know the immature heartworms part. It was always my vets recommendation to just use Revolution as well, and I always figured Revolution covered it all. I guess not. I know it didn't work on ticks.
It says this on the Revolution site, so I'm assuming once a blood test confirms everything is OK, this still protects from heartworm. Although mosquito's can still bite I'm assuming Revolution will prevent worms from growing?
"After application, REVOLUTION enters the bloodstream through the skin. Concentrations of REVOLUTION in the blood and tissues prevent heartworm disease. REVOLUTION selectively redistributes from the blood to the skin, where it provides protection against fleas, flea eggs, American dog ticks and mites.

I use Advantix !! and HeartGaurd. My dog has never had a tick on since going to Advantix and we hunt a nasty area for them 3 times a week all season. Great stuff.
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.
