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.

The Best!
Living in Florida means year-round mosquitoes and bugs of every kind. We had used another heartworm product but we were concerned because our dog had lost weight. After using Heartgard Plus, our dog put on his lost weight and we know he is not only protected against heartworm but other bothersome parisites as well. Thank you Pet Shed for making this available!

Heartgard
Living in Florida, I have to always be concerned about mosquitos biting my dogs. With Heartgard, I'm assured that my pets are safe from heartworms, and are healthy and happy, and it's the product recommended by our vet. Pet Shed has the best price and fantastic delivery times. And the chewables are the only way to go - the dogs think it's a treat and gobble each dose - I'm not telling them anything different!
Great Purchase
its great to be able to purchase this product without having to submit a presciption every time.
Heartgard
This product has kept my two kids worry free from heart worms. One of my dogs has epilepsy so he can't afford any diseases. My other dog is going to be 11 years tomorrow. They have both been on the Heartgard and have never gotten heart worms. I highly recommend it and have told my friends about it.
Heartgard Plus
Heartgard Plus has done an excellent job of keeping my dogs healthy for years. They think they are getting a treat each month and I have never had any product failure from Heartgard. Wouldn't think of changing.
Great Product
My dog loves this product. He takes it no problem once a month, he thinks it's a treat, no need to wrap it in cheese or lunch meat like some other heartworm preventatives I've used in the past. And it does actually prevent heart worm and the other intestinal worms. We live in Texas and have millions of mosquitos all year round and he tests negative every time, which is amazing because when he was adopted from the pound he was hearty worm heavy. Great product. Definately recommend.
