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.

Great product & service
My dog eats these like it's a treat! Service has always been excellent and this is the only place I've found that doesn't burden me with a proscription. My vet has offered but charges for one.
Great!
Pet Shed is an excellent company that sells doggie meds that are affordable. This is the 2nd time I am buying Heartguard Plus for my pup, and it's arrived on time and is exactly what I ordered. No complaints here!
good product
Product new and as described and at great price.
Ordered Heartgard from Petshed for 10 years for my Texas dogs!
I have ordered Heartgard Plus from Petshed for the past 10 years for my two dogs in Houston, Texas where heart worm is a real threat. I am thrilled that the cost per box is half the price of anywhere I can find in the United States and it is so convenient to order online and receive a week later in the mail. My dogs love to take the Heartgard "treat" once a month and we have never had a problem with heart worms.

I have used the generic Heart-guard offered via Pet-shed followed by a year of treatment of Heart-guard from our veterinarian. At no time were any of my pets ever found to have heart worms and I live in South Mississippi where heart-worms are a big problem. The difference in cost from Pet Shed and my local Vet is quite significant and I will continue to use Pet Shed from now on for this product.
quality product
Heartgard Plus - excellent product. Pet Shed - the best price and the best service.
Awesome Product!!!!!
Heart Gard Plus is the best heartworm preventive out there. We have a Aussie, and we always had problems with her taking her pills. This was fantastic she loved it. The chewable beef favorable is the best. Not any hestitation she just gobbled it right on up. We are so happy that we found a heartworm pill that she likes. Pet Shed gets a A++++++++++++++++++!!!! from us. Thank you sooo much.

Heartgard
I ordered Heartgard through PetShed and was very happy with how easily it was to order and work with this company. There prices were great and I shopped around for a long time before finding PetShed. I love the Heartgard Product and how well it words on my dog. I don't ever have to worry about a single flea or tic getting in our home or even on our dog! Thank You to Heartgard and also to PetShed!

No Fuss Heartworm Medicine
My dog as always been good when it comes to taking his medicine, but this chewable variety is even easier to give him. He likes the taste of it so much that he almost begs for it, like it's a treats So, I use it sort of as a treat. He knows that if he sits still for his once a month flee treatment, then I'll give him his once a month "treat". Everybody wins!
