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.

Heartguard
Wonderful product. My dogs think it is a treat and take it without any issues. Have used it for years.
My Dogs LOVE IT!
I have two Basset Hounds and this was the first time I used Heartgard. (previously used another brand). THEY LOVED IT! You would have thought I'd given them a piece of STEAK. Tucker even went into the trash after the little container thing it comes in and pulled it out and proceeded to lick it clean. Very easy and convenient for the dogs and the humans! I highly Recommend this product.
This is the ONLY way to go!
I always bargain hunt for my pets' medications (as well as my own) and Pet Shed is the ONLY way to go! It is the same Heartgard Plus you find in the States just for much cheaper and inexpensive shipping. Also it doesn't require a prescription so there is no hassle. I will only buy Heartgard Plus through Pet Shed for the rest of my pets' lives.
brandname for less
have used petshed for over 5 years and never been disappointed, tried other internet sellers for pet medications but none delivered as fast, and petshed has never given me any problems or delays, others are out of stock or take weeks to get you product so you have to order a month in advance forget and you might run out before you get your meds. on average petshed has gotten me my order usually in 7-8 days, would i recommend yes i have and will continue, their prices are the best i've found and i'm through looking as far as i'm concerned this is where i shop, thanks guys for great prices and services.
Dogs bestfriend
I have 3 dogs ranging from small to large and they are all on heartgard. My area is very mossy infested and while my neighbors dog got heartworms from not being protected my dogs all tested negative thanks to year round protection of heartgard. It's never a hassle to get my babies to take because they love the meaty flavor. I love the convenience of purchasing from pet shed as I'm disabled and it's not always easy to load up the dogs and head into the city to see the vet.
Like a Treat
My current dogs take this like a treat. My previous dog hated it so we had to use another brand.
Great Product and Service
Heartgard is a great product. Both of my dogs have had heartworms in the past, and Heartgard cleared up one case and prevented the other from returning. My dogs eagerly await the first of the month in order to get their tasty "treat". Petshed offers Heartgard at the lowest price of any online supplier I've found, and the shipping is fast and inexpensive.
