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.

Very Happy With My Purchase's
Pet Shed Has the best prices and very good customer service . I pay under a hundred bucks for a years worth of heartworm pills for my three hounds.
great meds
ordering was simple qquick, straightforward, unlike some other internet companies. this tried and true med works great for all my dogs.
Best on interweb
I was a "I will pay what it cost" guy with my vet for years because they were good to me and I am a loyalist. Then(long story) they played on my soft side and got me to spend a bunch of money for unnecessary treatments and meds. After a second opinion I trust explained whet they were doing(a friend who is a vet surgeon) I decided to go to the web for basic meds. after completing my due diligence I found PET SHED to be simple, accurate, fast with shipping and arguably the best price on the net. None better I say and I recommend your e-store to all my pet loving friends. Thank you PET SHED - you are great!!
Heartgard Plus
Same as what I get from the vets. Even with shipping it's still 2$ cheaper per pill!
Great
Thank you so much for making it easy to keep my dog healthy with having options for heartworm medicine that is affordable!
Great product at a great price!
I have always used Heartgard for all my labs. But I didn't realize I could purchase it on line for a more reasonable price. My friend told me about PetShed and I was sold. My order comes quickly and I am assured my pet is getting the best of the best!

Placing my order was easy and the time to receive the product could not have been any better. Excellent job! Will definitely order from PetShed again!!
