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.

I have 3 large dogs and this would have cost twice as much if I had bought it anywhere else. I'm thrilled and it's name-brand!
works great, economical price
My Newfoundland and German Shepherd love these wormers. They gobble it down and their heartworm tests are negative. On top of that, they are easy on the budget. Thanks Petshed.

Pet Shed is awesome! Exactly what I have paid double for in the past plus I can give it without paying to have dogs tested every year. I take care of my dogs...they are my family. I received my product promptly last time and am ordering again. Also found a great pair of cute goggles for my Harley riding Yorkie, Sophie. I've been looking for the right ones and finally think I found them! Thanks Pet Shed!!!
Second time purchasing
Best price I have found on the internet (and WAY better than my vet). My dog loves these (thinks they are treats) and they do the job in terms of keeping her healthy. This is the second time I have ordered these from Pet Shed. I definitely recommend!
Wonderful!
The medicine works perfectly! I told my vet of buying them from Australia and he was skeptical at first cause he gave my dog a heartworm test and he passed it with flying colors. No trace of worms anywhere. They are a lot cheaper here than my vet by $50. Thanks petshed.com

Love this medication. Its so easy to give to the dogs. I order the largest size and break it down to my smaller dogs. Very cost effective.
Great Product at half the cost
I've taken our dog to the vet so many times it's just a relief to be able to buy some of his medications online at half the cost it would be at a clinic. My border collie mix just loves these chewables so it's always easy to give these to him!
Great Product
My dog loves these, eats them like a treat. I prefer this brand over the generic since it protects against other types of worms as well. Have been buying for years.
Heartgaurd Plus
I'v been buying Heartguard Plus for a couple years now. It costs twice as much thru my vet and I do not need a scrip.
Heart worm medicine
Being a family of six with two of them being dogs, vet visits can get expensive. I'm so glad I found this website to order our girls their Heart Worm medicine. This company is way cheaper than going to the vet to get it. Our oldest dog weights 125 lbs. and our baby girl weights 6 lbs. Pet Shed is the best website on prices. There is no need to look any further.
