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.

Heartworm Free!
My dog has never been afflicted with heart worm, owing to Heartgard. I have used the product for the 6 years that I have had my dog, and I remain confident that Heartgard will always protect against heartworm effectively. Heartgard is easily dispensed, and is accepted by my dog as a treat! Pet Shed facilitates buying Heartgard or any animal product because its shopping, purchasing, and shipping processes are well organized and straightforward. Customer Service is readily accessible and helpful. More importantly, their prices are especially reasonable. So seriously consider Heartgard and purchase it from Pet Shed.
Heart "Cookies"!
Our Chihuahua is resting more soundly knowing that his "heart cookies" are in the cupboard now. We have been using Heartgard for several years now and it's a party everytime the chihuahua hears the words "heart cookie." Then we get his dose and he enjoys it. We are happy that he is heartworm free and we can rest almost as soundly has he can!
Great Product at a Reasonable Price
My Pit Bull, Deuce, is getting old and the Heartgard Plus is the prefect product for him. Easy to give, works great, and a very healthy happy dog.
Heartgard from Oz-Best Export ever!
Living in the intensely mosquito-laden area of the East Coast of the U.S., the menace of heart worm infestation is a real concern. Thanks to Heartgard I rest easy knowing my dogs are fully protected. The dogs get a tasty treat, and I know I've kept them from harm. WIN-WIN! Buying from Pet Shed was a SNAP, saved me money, and delivery from Oz to this Yankee Gal was swift. Thanks Heartgard, and thanks Pet Shed!!! WIN-WIN-WIN!!!
Great!
My dog's are pretty picky when it comes to what they eat. They love Heartgard! I am so happy it is so easy to give to them once a month. They won't eat other meds that must be given by mouth, so I was nervous. But, we have never had a problem giving Heartgard. They have also had negative heartworm tests for many years while they have been taking Heartgard- never a positive test.
Best Place to Buy
Ordering from PetShed is fast and easy. Although it takes a little longer to get to the US than some other companies, it is definitely worth waiting a few extra days when you consider the monetary savings. Along with my vet, I am sure that many other vets don't like to see business go elsewhere and are reluctant to send perscription requests to companies. Instead of bothering my vet, I am able to just order immediately from PetShed. It is wonderful to receive the same medication my vet sells, but for a lot less!
Great Service!
PetShed offers hands down the best prices out there for necessary heart worm and flea prevention meds. I searched other discount websites, amazon, and many more, and PetShed was the one with the lowest prices including shipping. Order arrived in timely manner. Will definitely order future medications and pet supplies from them in the future!
Heartgard
I have been using this product for over 12 years and all my dogs are heartworm free. I also love the service that Pet Shed offers. Thank you. Earthdancer
Great product at a better price than the veternarian's office.
A Necessary Item
We have been using Heartguard Plus for our dogs for a few years. The introduction of Petshed allows us to purchase this important medication at a good price. one of our dogs tested positive for heartworms a year after we adopted her. Heartguard Plus gave us an option of ridding the worms without surgery. She is heartworm free and we would not use any other product. Thank you for allowing us to get this medication...
