HEARTWORM FREE HWF-HEARTWORM FREE — 

Wolfcreek Ranch (distributors) and Amber Tech (manufacturers) offer an all natural treatment for heartworm treatment.  The websites offer lots of testimonials from people who say that their pet was cured of heartworms by using this product.  Unfortunately my experience was not positive and my dog has tested positive for the second time.  She was on this product for 16 weeks and I would have been thrilled if it had worked.  I have been looking for a gentle treatment since the vet administered treatment sounds so harsh.  But today my dog will start the regular vet treatment of two shots in two days followed by an oral treatment in a couple of weeks.

Also be aware that the Wolfcreek Ranch and Amber Tech websites say that you should NOT have your pet on the monthly heartworm preventative during the time you use their product.  My vet says that this is wrong and it allows the larvae to continue to grow when the monthly treatment would have prevented this.

FYI, I missed two months of the monthly treatment during a relocation to a new state and at the same time dealing with my other dog having surgery and physical therapy.  It was a terrible oversight which I sorely regret.  I have read that missing a couple of months should not have put my dog at risk but that is more false information, at least in this case.  Be aware that there are reports of break-through cases of dogs on preventative that are testing positive for heartworms too.

Testing annually for heartworms is very important.  I hope my information helps others to keep their pet heathy.

....also AmberTech has done CLINICAL TRIALS showing that their product is effective. It worked for my dog. Also it is FAR safer than the "vet's" way!!

This is NOT a fair review -- 16 weeks is the MINIMUM that AmberTech says their product takes to clear a heartworm infestation -- that is a BEST case scenario. They say that it can take between 16 and 36 weeks for their product to work, depending on the extent of the heartworm infestation & the health of the dog. Also, after the treatment is complete, they suggest you wait 4 more months before retesting (the dead heartworm has to finish clearing the body). So actually the minimum amount of time you would expect before a negative test would be 16 weeks + 16 weeks = 32 weeks -- not just 16 weeks!
