Product Detail: Heartgard Plus Chewables
Heartgard Plus
Heartgard Plus is indicated for use in dogs to prevent canine heartworm disease by eliminating the tissue stage of heartworm larvae for a month (30 days) after infection, and for the treatment and control of roundworms and hookworms.
What are the active ingredients in Heartgard Plus?
Active ingredients:
- ivermectin
- pyrantel
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.

good value product
I have purchased Heartgard for my dog from Petshed for several years. I have found it to be a great price through Petshed. Have had no issues with the product and costumer service was helpful when I had a question.
Why pay more?
I tried "generic" before and ended up with hard pills my dog would spit out. If this is generic Heartguard, neither my dog nor I can tell! Soft chewables that actually seem bigger and softer than actual Heartguard. The shipping takes a little longer but well worth it for the great prices.
Great product and seller
This is brand name heart worm preventative. My dog loves them, he knows the sound of me opening the foil and goes nutso. This place has the best price on the web, and a helluva lot cheaper than retai from the vet too, of course. No Rx needed. Shipping time was about two weeks, which was plenty fast enough to use the last dose then receive the new box before time of the next dose. I'll definitely keep shopping Pet Shed
Great Product
Since we are in animal rescue having this less expensive preventative for our fosters is simply amazing. It truly helps us help more animals in need. We thank you!
Protection at its finest
I have used Heartgard to protect against Heartworm and Intestinal parasites for 14+ years. I would never go to anything else. In Central Minnesota, we are in the middle of mosquito country and I never have to worry about my 4 legged family members.
Great Product!! Awesome Price!!
I have been getting Heartgard from Petshed for a while. Pet Shed has the best prices around. The Vet is way to expensive. My dog is very picky with the chews, I still have to crush them up, but they are really a great heartworm preventative. I did make a mistake and ordered the generic brand once, it didn't go over well with my dog, it must not taste very good.. Heartgard is cheap enough that you can buy the original brand, at petshed. And my dog loves it.
HeartGard: the Medication That Works Like a Treat
Oreo, my shih-tzu mix, is not a fan of medicine. He is, however, a big fan of treats. So it makes us both happy that HeartGard Plus Chewables work as both a medication and a treat. Every month, he gobbles up his beef-flavored special treat. What he doesn't know, but what makes me happy, is that the special treat protects him against heartworm. This is a great product that keeps Oreo happy and healthy and makes my life as a caring dog owner much easier than it would otherwise be.
Great price! Generic not softchew...
PetShed has HeartGard for a great price. Shipping is a little slow but it's worth it. If you are looking at the Generic option beware it is a chewable tablet not a softchew. You'll just have to decide if your dog will eat it or you will have to hide it in a treat.

I like ordering though Pet Shed for it is inexpensive compared to getting heartworm with my vet. Same exact product so much cheaper. Thank You Pet Shed!

I ordered the generic , what i didnt know are they are not llike the name brand, they are a chewable tablet not like the chewy treat like you get from heartgaurd, I now have to order the heartgaurd because my 2 dogs will not eat the tablet and its a hassle to get them to take it at all, only way is to grind it to a powder and put in there food. so in the long run this cost me more money :( So just remember if you have a dog that doesnt like chewable tablets dont get the generic. I am giving a ok rating cause as far as i know the product does what it says my dogs are heartworm free but its a ordeal to get them to take it.
