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.

Product and Pet Shed can't be beat!
Dodger is, like most dogs, more than a pet, but my best buddy, as well. I wouldn't think of skimping on quality for his health products, but buying from our local vets was getting out of hand in terms of the price of the medication and the associated charges. I didn't want my wonderful mutt to suffer because of a rotten economy, but sometimes that's the place to go to trim the budget. Then I found Pet Shed and the problem was solved. HG could not be easier to use (Dodger loves it) and it is tremendously effective. He's 8 years osld and in perfect health. Thanks Heartguard and Pet Shed.
Definitely a great product at great price
Same great product recommended by veterinarians but at a reduced amount. I have always had a great experience with PetShed.com. Item arrives on time and avoids a trip to the vets office to buy the medication. Thanks PetShed.com!!
My dog has been on Heartgard since she was a puppy. She loves the taste and would eat more if I let her. Heartgard is a great product to protect your dogs from heartworms. PetShed offers great products, prices & service. Protect your "babies" & keep them happy. They deserve the very best.
Best for our dog!
Our DOG is 13 years and Heartgard keeps Cassidy going strong in an environment that is full of unfriendly vermon. Keep on doing what you're doing and cat-dog will keep doing what she's doing , living long!! Yeah MAN!!
I trust Heartguard brand
Ive been using Heart Guard now for 8 years and none of my dogs have tested positive for heart worm. And they enjoy it as a treat so I have no problem giving it to them, they eat it right up. Thanks Pet Shed and Heartguard.
Wonderful product with excellent service
I purchased Heartgard for both of my dogs. One for small dogs and one for medium dogs. Not only do my dogs love the product but I do as well. They are fully protected and that makes me happy. Pet Shed had just what the doctor called for. Their products arrived fast and packaged well. No problems.
Don't Buy Anywhere Else!
I have been using Heartgard Plus with my dog since day one and it has been the best heartworm preventative. My vet suggested I use this and I have never purchased anything else. I bought a 12 month supply through PetShed because they had the product I was looking for and they had the lowest prices around. I will recommend PetShed to all of my family and friends for their pets because this is the only place I will be buying my pet medications from now on.
Easiest Purchase Ever
This is our 4th year usinf PetShed to purchase Heartgard plus for our Choclate Lab and we plan to continue using them for many more year. The ease of the website and ordering system is excellent and they always seem to have the most competative prices. My dog loves the Heartgard chewables and the ease of giving them to her makes all the difference. This is definetley a product I would recomend and I always recomend PetShed.
Awesome Products and Prices!!!
Pet Shed offers the BEST prices on Heartguard Plus. I always receive what I ordered very quickly. I have large dogs and Pet Shed has literally saved me hundreds of dollars on this preventative medication. I definately recommend Pet Shed to all family and friends for their pets' needs. Thank you again.
