Schuyler Products is recalling several lots of Worm Shield heartworm preventative for dogs.
The chewable treats are being recalled because the company says the pills may not full protect the pets through the expiration date. That means the pet could be exposed to heartworm disease.

Lots #120093, #120305, #120824, #120195, #120464, #120649, #120678
Also, the company is pulling seven additional lots of Worm Shield from distribution, but they are not being officially recalled. Those lots are:
