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.

Heartguard
We live in VA (USA) and we have hot, long, humid summers; therefore, the mosquitoes are very bad. The Heartguard Plus keeps the dogs safe from catching heartworms and internal parasites. They get it year-round. Volunteering for a humane group, I see what heartworms can do to dogs, so ours will never without. Great Product, Great Company.
awesome "treat"
My dogs Loooves this product! She's a finicky eater and usually sniffs out anything that's supposed to be good for her But when I unwrap the foil and offer it as a treat she devours it without hesitation. She gets a treat. And I get peace of mind.
Love it!
I've been using Heartguard Plus for years and I've never had anything but great results from it. The dogs gobble it up like a treat and I've never noticed any adverse effects from it. I will continue to buy this product, especially from Joe's Pet Meds....best price ever!!!

I have been using this product for a number of years as been a few friends and family members that have pets. Not only is the price great, but the product works. I wouldn't put my dog's health at risk for anything. I will continue to use.
