[nagdu] A pill for heartworms, fleas, and ticks?

[Cindy Ray]

But the dogs can’t ge to it where you put it on their bodies. I try to do it when they won’t chew on each other, but they seem to avoid that when they have that on them. The only thing with it is you have to use gloves or be sure you wash your hands thoroughly after using it.
