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.

It is easy to administer to the puppy to prevent heart-worms.
Heartgard
I use Heartgard for all my dogs and love it, my dogs love the chewable tablet so no issues with them taking it. The price also makes it easier on my budget with 4 dogs.
Heartgard Chewables
This chewable heartworm medication is so easy to give to my dogs. They love it and think they are getting a treat. I have been using it for several years and it is definitely effective - no heartworms at all.
Best Place to Purchase Your Heartgard!
I've used Heartgard Plus for years for all my dogs. Since it is a chewable there is no problem giving it to them. And the price that Pet Shed offers just can't be beat. At the Vet's office it would cost me $20 more per 6 month supply. It takes a couple of weeks or more to receive my order from Pet Shed but I just stay on top of when I need to reorder so I don't run out. AND when my dogs are tested at times for heartworms the test is negative. Have no fear in ordering from Pet Shed. Good company and good products.
Excellent company and product
I love this place and love the flea medicine. It is cheaper thru them and it is nice to have it ship for free.

I just wanted to say thank you for Heartgard Plus. I have been using this product since 1989 (two fur babies), and ahve never had a problem with heartworms or intestinal parasites. my babies never hesitatae to gobble their Heartgard and even sometimes let me know when it it the day they get it. It is like a special treat to them. Thank you so much for protecting all of my babies for all of these years. i know with heartgard, I never have to worry.
Heartgard Plus
We have been using Heartgard Plus for many years, we have a 13 year old Golden Retriever and have never had a problem using this product. We recently found a 2 year old Belgian Shepherd and he also takes this medication with no problem. I always search the internet for the best prices before purchasing this and had not seen Pet Shed before, I am impressed with the pricing and look forward to future purchases. Placing my first order today!!
