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
My Ellie (Rottie but she doesn't know that) was a rescue when she came to me and she already had heartworm, I have used this product since then and her last test results showed she was clear of heartworm, well done Heartgard......I will never be without it, and she takes it like I was giving her a treat so they must taste good too.
Fast Ship. Great price.
All my future orders will be with Petshed. Many thanks.
Short and Sweet
This is short and sweet. I have been very please with all my orders from Pet Shed. The pricing can't be beat and the orders arrive when expected. I recommend this site for all of your pet needs.
Pet Shed is the Best!
Ordering from Pet Shed is very simple and the products are excellent quality. I've been ordering for a few years now for my dogs Cooper and Murphy. The website is user friendly and the prices are very affordable. I've shopped around and these are the lowest prices out there. Thanks Pet Shed
Best of both worlds, Product & Service!!!
Heartgard plus is like a treat for my cocker spaniel. It's chewable and he enjoys it very much! I am very pleased with Pet Shed because I have been able to obtain Heartgard Plus from them for the past 2 years and I have NEVER had a problem with Pet Shed. I am also pleased with Pet Shed's customer service, they are very friendly and make sure they handle and answer any inquiries I may have in an efficient manner. I will continue to do business with Pet Shed and will continue to provide Heartgard to my dog since I want to protect him from getting any heartworms.
Great Product
I've used Heartgard Plus for my dogs for years, at our vet's urging. My dogs have never had an adverse reacton and in fact, they munch it down like a treat. It's hard to say no when they want another right away. Thanks goodness for dog treats I keep on hand. I like that I can buy the same quality product, as I purchased from my vet, for less than half the price. With the cost of everything going up, it's nice to save money anywhere I can, and when it comes to pet meds, the money I save can be used for pet treats.
Peace of mind!
Hi, I am the proud owner of 4 dogs and 4 cats, all strays that I have found throughout the years. I have always managed to provide them with vet care, in addition to attention and love. However, I recently found myself laid off from work and in need of heartworm medication. I have always had them checked for heartworms, but just could not afford to do that and buy the medication. Luckily I had heard about PetShed from a friend and was able to order the heartworm pills without a prescription. I live in Texas and with the combination of heat and humidity, the mosquitos are thick. I need to protect my babies from heartworms. This is a great product I have used it for years and never find fleas on my animals or in my house. Thank you PetShed for allowing me to take care of my babies on a strict budget!
Great prices!
We ordered Heartgard from PetShed and the prices were great. Our dog certainly could care less about the medication, but it made it here in a timely fashion and saved me about 25%. Overall, very happy.
