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.

Pet Shed
I must thank Pet Shed for the execellent service I received and the updates they sent me so I could track my order. I purchased a 6 month supply Heartguard Plus for large dogs. My product arrived very promptly even though it came from overseas and was exactly what I needed. I most certainly will be spreading the word to all animal lovers I know where they can get supplies, medicine through toys, delivered right to their door for convenience, quality and competitive pricing.
Excellent Buy with Great Protection
I highly recommend this product. It works great for not only heartworm disease but also for intestinal parasites. Living in Minnesota this is an absolute must for dog owners. I never have to worry about my dogs while using heartgard and would not even think about using anything else. Heartgard is the ultimate product to use if you live anywhere that has mosquito's. Your mind can rest easy that you are protecting your best friend and companion.
Heartguaard plus
This is the 2nd year I have purchased Heart Guard Plus from the Pet Shed. The purchase is so easy and so reasonable . I will never purchase this product any where else again. In fact, I have convinced my mother to purchase from Pet Shed. She is also happy.
best service around
I was sent to Pet Shed by another satisfied customer. I had never purchased anything on the internet before. The prices were competitive, but affordable. The products are name brand. Not only was the service quick and accurate, Pet Shed always follows each purchase. The order is sent ASAP after the monies clear. Thank you for being a company who still believes in customer service and quality products.
All Around Grrrreat!
This is the second time we have used HeartGard Plus from Pet Shed. First off, the medication is tried and tested. It works and is safe for our pets. Our vet recommended it and we ordered it from Pet Shed because of their competitive pricing and consistently good reviews. We are totally pleased with the HeartGard and absolutely pleased with Pet Shed. It was easy to order, confirmation came quickly, and the pills were to us fast, fast, fast. All around great service from Pet Shed and a great product!
Pet Shed Rocks!
I have been using Pet Shed for quite a few years now. I have never had any issues with timely delivery, pricing, or product quality. I did a few times drift to other websites to save a buck, and they always send me some knockoff. I'm staying here from now on.
Always fresh
I have been ordering this product for years for my dog and have always been satisfied with the freshness of this product. I have never received any packages with close 'best if used by' dates. I am always happy with my order!
Love the product, Love the price
I always buy Heartgard Plus. I live in a townhouse developement and my dogs are exposed to a lot of other dogs. Heartgard Plus keeps them protected from head to toe. Petsheds price makes keeping my dogs protected easy.
Great Product from a Great Company!
