Dog preventative care is kind of a misunderstanding. We call things like flea, tick, and heartworm products preventative care but, honestly, preventative care is primarily an annual exam, at the very least, by your veterinarian to talk about adding certain prescriptions or making lifestyle changes at home.

These guys are designed so that they don't migrate through the dog, and they stay pretty close to exactly where we put it. The dogs don't vomit or throw up or anything like that when they have had a vaccine. I haven't seen any side effects from it.
