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.

Solid Product
Have used heartgard as recommended by our vets for several pets over the years and have never had any problem with heartworm. The ease of using this product is phenomenal - no fussing with dissolving anything, the dosage is done and easy, and the dogs think it is a treat so it goes right down. Pet Shed provided our product in a professional and timely manner and we are very happy with the website.
Heartgard Plus
Heartgard Plus is a terrific product that offers the protection I need for my dogs. I've used it for several years with good results. My dogs have had excellent checkups and have not experienced any adverse effects from Hartgard.
I Heart Hartguard!
This product has proven to be safe and effective the two years I've used it on my black lab, but I could been more impressed with PetShed.com's website. The site itself is very informative, and easy to navigate through. There were no hassles in trying to find an actual price, everything is listed as is (so you know what you're getting and for how much). This website had the cheapest price not only for the 12 month supply I purchased, but the 6 and 3 dose boxes as well. Shipping was FREE and tax must have been included. The price I saw online was the price I paid. Finally, when I had questions, the live chat agent was quick to respond and very knowledgeable. Will I be re-ordering from this company? YOU BET!
Will Always use
My vet here in Houston does not sell the brand heartguard, only in a pill form. I have a very finicky 110 lb. lab, Bailey, who will not take very much of anything. But he loves these, if I could give him more than the two he gets (since he is a hefty big boy he has to get 2 to cover his weight) he would eat them! I have been purchasing from pet shed for several years and knew I wouldn't be dissapointed by adding this to my list of very necessary medications for my dogs. Thank you Pet Shed!
Best Purchase Ever
We love Pet Shed, I can order everything for my pet's needs. I ordered Heartgard with out havig to go to the vet and pay a ridiculous amount. I purchase everything thing for my pets from this company I have been doing so for years!! Love you guys! Thanks, Tam
I have used heartworm prevention for along time. the product is sent immediately, intact, and have no problems getting it. It is so easy to order it on line plus less expensive than going out and buying it. kudos to Pet Shed.
Best Deal Going
My boys, Cody and Mikey, are precious to me. I entrust their lives to Generic Heartgard to protect against heartworms. It does the job at reasonable cost. Thank you Pet Shed.
Treat time!
My dog comes running when he hears me open up the packaging for this product. It is a nice chewy treat once a month as far as he is concerned and I know I'm taking good care of him.
Heartgard Plus
Heartgard Plus is the best product for me to use. Because I have an animal rescue (currently 17 dogs) I need products that are easy, convenient, inexpensive and that works. With Pet Shed's heartworm prevention, I can bypass the veterinarians high prices for the same product and know Im getting good quality meds. Its easy to give to my dogs, they like the taste and I can trust that they are protected against heartworm. My neighbor has seven dogs and she asked me to order her some Heartgard when I told her where I purchased mine. So she is now a customer through me. I have used Heartgard for years and have always preferred it to anything else. No other company has the prices Pet Shed does. And I get my order quickly in the mail. Never had any problems with my orders going through. The past director of our humane society here first told me about Pet Shed and the great products and prices you had, and since then I have never bought from anyone else. Being a rescuer,I have alot of dogs to care for and I would not trust giving them anything but Pet Shed. Thank you for Existing Jacque Tostensen
Great Price/Dependable Company
I can relax when I order from Pet Shed because even when I discover I've goofed and have only one tablet left for two dogs, the shipment arrives soon enough for me to feel okay about the wait. The price is the best I've found and the service will keep me coming back to Pet Shed even if the price should increase a little. My dogs eat them like they are treats, so there's no need to wrap them up in something else to disguise the taste. I'm always satisfied with this product. One less thing to worry about to keep my dogs healthy!
