My puppy is not on it because the doctor said that puppies have to be at least six months old before receiving the injectable form of heartguard. I would check in to see if perhaps the vet gave the puppy heartguard injectable at too early of age and against the manufacturers recommendation. If so, I don't see how the vet could hold anyone liable for any of the vet fees. (In fact, the vet may owe something for endangering the puppies life.)
