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.

Yummy
Extremely finicky, our two dogs ages 19 years old and 3, refuse most dog treats but when offered Heartguard Chewables, they never hesitate. I break them in half and when they smell the inside, I'm happy to say they are eager to eat them. They have a history of refusing to take any prescribed oral medications by mouth but Heartguard chewables are always accepted.

My dog loves these chews. She gobbles them down like a treat or on her food. Her heart worm test comes out clean every yr.

Service you can count on.
My daughter told me about Joe's website. I am so happy that she did because I can save money and get great service. Our Maltese little Penny loves the Heartgard Plus Chewables. We love them because we know her little heart is safe. Thank you for helping us keep her safe.
Name Brands for the Best Price
I've purchased both Frontline Plus and Heartguard Plus through Joe's Pet Meds for years now. The prices are still the best anywhere and the products are the same name brand that the vet and other "discount" pet medicine websites sell for up to $20 more per box! Why go anywhere else?
