How Heartgard Plus works
Heartgard Plus prevents canine heartworm disease by eliminating the tissue stage of heartworm larvae (Dirofilaria immitis) for a month (30 days) after infection and for the treatment and control of ascarids (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina) and hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma braziliense).
How can you properly administer Heartgard Plus?
Heartgard Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) should be administered orally at monthly intervals at the recommended minimum dose level of 6 mcg of ivermectin per kilogram (2.72 mcg/lb) and 5 mg of pyrantel (as pamoate salt) per kg (2.27 mg/lb) of body weight. The recommended dosing schedule for the prevention of canine heartworm disease and for the treatment and control of ascarids and hookworms is as follows:
Dog Weight Chewables per month Ivermectin Pyrantel Color coding
Up to 25 lbs 1 68 mcg 57 mcg Blue
26 to 50 lbs 1 136 mcg 114 mcg Green
51 to 100 lbs 1 272 mcg 228 mcg Brown
Heartgard Plus is recommended for dogs 6 weeks of age and older. For dogs over 100 lb use the appropriate combination of these chewables.
What are the precautions in using Heartgard Plus?
All dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection before starting treatment with Heartgard Plus which is not effective against adult D. immitis. Infected dogs must be treated to remove adult heartworms and microfilariae before initiating a program with Heartgard Plus. While some microfilariae may be killed by the ivermectin in Heartgard Plus at the recommended dose level, Heartgard Plus is not effective for microfilariae clearance. A mild hypersensitivity-type reaction, presumably due to dead or dying microfilariae and particularly involving a transient diarrhea, has been observed in clinical trials with ivermectin alone after treatment of some dogs that have circulating microfilariae.

Heartgard Plus
I have always used this product for my dog and it has kept her heartworm free. We live in an area where heart worm is a great concern. She has only one side effect and that is a little loose type stools but that is it.
Best Product
I always use Heartgard Plus for my pets. It saved one of their lives from the parasite. After that, I would never use any other product. I recommend every owner that cares for their pet to use this product, it is definitely worth the price, and after shopping around, I found that this site has THE best price! It's a win-win!

Heartgard Plus helps save dogs lives!
Heartgard Plus is a must have when you have dogs, it helps saves lives! This has to be a staple in your household when you have dogs, especially during the spring and summer months. We can't live without it!
Love the price
I have been getting this medication for my Weimaraner and try to give it to him all year round just to be safe (we live out in the country and things like Hookworm are always present) but it was too expensive. With the prices more reasonable I can now do that and protect him year round. Now that he has a little sister I can afford to keep both of them on this year round. Thanks for pricing this and preventing needless infections!
