 But what percentage of the total which go abroad and come home?
 If it was 10 % or higher then I would say that is a great risk, if the
amoutns are only 1% or less of the total amounts, that is a negligable risk
I would say. That's why I wanted to know what percentage the numbers
represented.

 Which countries?
 And heartworm is simply cured by putting stronghold drops on the pet.Sold
in this country for fleas, ticks, mange, earmites and roundworm. What it
doesn't say on the box over here is that it also treats heartworm. Probably
because we don't have a problem with HW over here they don't put it on the
box.I buy mine from Australia or America and the ingredients are exactly the
same as the UK ingredients but the box states heartworm prevention too.
 I get very cross when people tell only half the story and don't give true
facts but rather hearsay and no percentages. I would rather they didn't post
at all in that case.
 I happilly took my pet birds and dog back and forth to Germany , when my ex
was in the forces . Of course there was the 6 months quarantine in those
days, but none of my pets ever suffered anything nasty and all eventually
died of old age.
