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.

This is my first time ordering from Pet Shed and I am very happy with the price of my product and the quick checkout system. I plan on reordering again
Heartguard plus
Great product, short delivery time, cheaper than my local pet supply store even with shipping cost included. GOOD JOB PET SHED.
only heart worm protection i will use
so glad I found where I can always go to order heartguard plus. I have been ordering from pet shed for over 4 years. the reason I do is because most vets have been switching heartworm prevention medications to less then trust worthy types that have been know to cause issues in pets. I refused to switch so I buy here because they don't have it at the vets. thanks pet shed for a truly quality product.
Heartgard control
love the plus control too for other types of worms prices are great too
Best Price, Easy to Order!!
I like to shop around for the best price. Well Petshed was it! Compared to some of the more advertised sites, Petshed prices were $20 less than most. I will be back to buy all my pet meds here!
Heartgard Plus for large Dogs
We have been using " Heartgard Plus" since we rescued our Lab over 2 years ago. She is a heart worm survivor so we want the best for her. We have had excellent results with Heartgard.
Great Product
This is a great product that as far as I can tell is exactly the same that your veterinarian charges a whole lot more for! I've been buying/using products from Pet Shed now for quite a while and I've always been 100% satisfied. Shipping is quick also.
Satisfied with Service and Product
I have been ordering this product for sometime now and I am very satisfied with the produce and the service. The money I save I can buy my pets other things they need and like. Thank you Pet Shed Donna
