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.

I truly love this product. My dogs also like taking it. Chewables makes it very easy to administer. Once a month works well for me. I know that I am giving my dog the best product out there for their heart.

Heartgard Plus
Great heart worm medication and easy to give to my dog. She chews it right up. Great price for 6 months supply and recommend Joe's Pet meds to anyone for great prices.
Great pricing!
It is important for Heartgard to be given to your animal. Unfortunately. it is very expensive also... until I found out about Joes Pet MEds!! I always order my dogs meds through this site and couldn't be happier. Quick turnaround time and terrific customer service. I have referred many of my friends and family!

Only heartworm medication that I use for my dog. Joes Pet Meds is the only place that I buy it from because they have the best prices and good service. I would highly recommend buying from them.
Great Pricing
I have always used heartgard for my dogs but I have always gotten it from my Vet. Having at least 6 dogs at all times, this was a big expense. I was VERY happy when I found Joe's Pet Meds; their pricing is WONDERFUL!!!
