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.

So happy I found pet shed. Very quick and easy to get meds. Thanks Pet Shed
Great Heartgard Product
This is a great product. I use this for all of my three dogs and it works excellent.
surprise foreign charge
I was surprised that my credit card was charged for foreign use after I bought your product. Fool me once never again.
Trustworthy!
This is a great product and great website to buy from and save money.
Great product for my Yorkie
I live in a wooded area where the mosquitoes are terrible. Therefore, my puppy has to take Heartgard so he won't get heart worms. I've been using this product for a year now and it works great! Plus, he thinks it's a treat when I give it to him. I searched everywhere and PetShed is the best price around with fast shipping!
Great product for a great price!
When I first got my puppy, I couldn't believe the prices of Heartgard plus. I have searched all over the internet for a fair price and Pet Shed is the best place to buy. Reasonable prices and fast shipping. I now tell all my friends and family to shop on their website. Best of all, my finicky yorkie gobbles these up like they are a treat!
Great Product at a wonderful price !!
I have purchased Heartgard Plus for 3 years now. Petshed is the best place to purchase. They have a great quality product. The dogs love the Heartgard plus, and have been heart worm free. !!
Happy to have been told about Pet Shed!
Although I hate the idea of giving my animals products such as this, but the thought of the alternative is worse! Taking care of your animals as they should be has gotten so very expensive here in the US and continues to climb. I have 2 large and 2 medium rescue dogs, as well as 8 rescue cats. I would be rescuing more with all the room we have on our ranch, but I can't afford it any more and that is very sad because its the animals that suffer! I found your site though someone and you have saved me quite a bit of money on the Heartguard! My vet's prices have gotten out of control, especially for the large dogs. I also noticed prices on your other items & it seems all is reasonable!! Thank you so so very much!!
Great Product
This product is great. My dog eagerly takes it and I have no problem with its availability. Certainly would recommend as an easy heartworm preventive medication!
Great Product
Heartguard Plus takes care of my dogs preventative needs regarding heart and hook worms. I live in a area with lots of heartworm positive dogs and lots of mosquitos and it is a comfort knowing my dog Dingo is protected. She loves the meat flavored snack style "nuggets" right out of the pack. She sits and puts out her paw to beg for the "treat" which is actually her medicine. Good stuff.
