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.

Dog medications
I had used Pet Shed for several years while I had my Border Collie, mostly Frontline and Heart Meds. However at 16 yrs she had to be put down, so now I have a cat that decided he wanted to live with us and am reconnecting with your company for his meds as your company is really the best out there to deal with. Prices are great and never a problem with deliveries. Have recommended to other friends.
Heartgard Plus
I was searching for Heartgard Plus and found your website. I usually purchase through my vet, but wanted to see if I can save some money elsewhere. With the vet, if you buy 12 doses, you get a $12 rebate from the manufacturer, but your cost is still even less than that with the rebate. I just ordered, so haven't received the product yet, but am hoping it comes on time, as the other reviews have stated.
Great Price/Quality/Shipping
Petshed.com always delivers the Heartgard Plus at a great price with fast delivery speed (remember this is international shipping) and the product is just like what I would purchase here in the USA except the weights are in kg rather than lbs. For me the Australian packaging it not a concern. Our dogs have not had any problems, nor have they had any heartworms because the Heartgard Plus works. We take our dog to the veterinarian every single time she is due for any vaccine, etc and yearly exams. She has never had a problem with taking the AU packaged Merial products. Thank you Pet Shed for making this available internationally.

Heartguard Delivery
Great product but I will never buy from PetShed again. I am 12 days past my order date and told itcould be another three before delivery; the warehouses are in Singapore and Sydney, Australia. I'll find a local vendor.
Heartguard Plus--A Great Product
I have been purchasing Pet Shed's Heartguard Plus for many years, and it is wonderful to know that my dog is protected. His yearly vet checkups include a heartworm test, which always come back negative. He loves the tasty chewables that not only have protected him from heartworms, but round and hookworms, too. Thank you Pet Shed, for your great prices, prompt customer service and speedy shipment!
Pet Shed Checkout is horrendous
Dear Pet Shed Team; You have one of the worse web sites for checking out that I have EVER used. Something simple like taking advantage of the $5 coupon offer caused so much frustration that I gave up. After filling out all of the checkout information I reached the bottom of the page where the offer is. I entered my e-mail address and clicked "GO". What do I get? A "Thank You" and all of the information I entered is gone. After going to my e-mail and retrieving the coupon code I tried again. This time in an effort not to lose my info I clicked apply before I entered it. No, that won't work - somehow (although you supplied the code to me) I am an anonymous user. Okay, so I fill in all of the info and then I'm told I need to sign in or create an account. Fine, I did so. Then I get an ERROR! claiming this coupon. Who designed this crummy system anyway? I have been placing numerous on-line orders weekly for years and have never run into such a mess! This is definitely a deterrent to shopping with Pet Shed.
Easy med to give
A great product and easy to give to the dogs...unlike pills that require cheese, or meat or peanut butter...
