Product Detail: Heartgard Plus Chewables
Heartgard Plus
Heartgard Plus is indicated for use in dogs to prevent canine heartworm disease by eliminating the tissue stage of heartworm larvae for a month (30 days) after infection, and for the treatment and control of roundworms and hookworms.
What are the active ingredients in Heartgard Plus?
Active ingredients:
- ivermectin
- pyrantel
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.

heartgaurd
I , along with family and friends have been using this on our pets for a number of years, Not only is it cost effective ...it works. Thanks Joe's for giving us an alternative way to keep our pets safe.
Good value
I continue to buy the generic product because of the low price. It is an exceptional value. However, the tablets apparently do not smell or taste good to pets. I have three dogs who are not particularly finicky and the only way to get the tablets into them is with peanut butter added.
Works so well
Heartgard Plus Chewables is a great heart worm preventive. Works so well on my dogs. Always negative to heart worms. And they love Heartgard Plus's taste. They think its a special treat for them. If only you could see their face and wagging tails once they saw Heartgard Plus Chewables.
Best ever
It is branded. It is a bit pricey compare to others. But it is also the best among the rest. And I only want what's the best for my dogs. These are great heart worm preventive that my dogs enjoy.
heart worm preventive is a must
I think every dog should take this one. Great protection from heart worms. And the dogs definitely love this.

The original is definitely the best! In terms of taste, my dogs just can't get over it, effectiveness, they never had heart worms, and on price, Joe's Pet meds has the best price ever!! I so love everything about this product.
Heartgard Plus Chewables
Works great! I have a Great Dane and Lab and they both love it. I don't want them to be in trouble so I'm giving them a monthly dosage of heart worm preventive. Works well. No heart worms ever for both of my dogs. Highly recommended to all dog owners out there!
