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.

Heartgard Plus
I have used product for several years without any problems. We live in rural wooded area where the dogs get to romp through the countryside. We also use Frontline for fleand tick protections. Dogs are extremely healthy and happy. I recommend both products!
heartgard.
I love the ease of ordering from the company. My 2 fur babies have always been on heartgard plus since they were babies and it suits them perfectly.
good protection best price
For a 12 month supply for a 60lb dog usually would cost $83+ but with $5 off and it only being $66.95 + $7.95 shipping it came to $69.90. For 6 months it would've cost me $41.90 so technically I got a second 6 months for $28 awesome deal
Great Product!
This is a great product. In the past I tried to give my dogs their heartworm protection in pill form, but they're quite clever, and would eat the treat, but spit out the pill. I was unsure, if my dog's would actually eat this, but they love it, and it makes giving them their heartworm medicine very easy, not to mention it's very affordable!
Great Product! Great Price
So easy to give to my dog ... and keeps her protected. Love the price, quick delivery and no-fuss ordering.
