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.

Love this!! It works so good. I live near the woods so mosquitoes are really a problem. I've been using this heartgard plus to protect my dogs. Fortunately, they never turned positive on heart worms. Thanks Joe's!

It's a bit pricey but it works perfectly on the other side. 100% Heart worm protection! Guaranteed. And the dogs love the chews. Thanks Joe's!
CURED!
I took in a 15 year old dog who tested positive for heartworm. Not only that, it had just hatched a brood of microfilla. The vet said we could do dangerous, expensive treatments, or just use a preventative and hope for the best. New old dog, I didn't want to spend a lot. I bought Heartguard from Joe's Pet Meds, and administered it as directed. My dog is now 20 years old, and has been heartworm free for years. Thanks Joe.
Heartgard Plus Rocks!
I have been buying Heartgard Plus for my yorkie poo for years now from Joe's Pet Meds. Love the timely product delivery, super price and the top quality of the product. One chewable a month is all I give her, and I have such peace of mind that it prevents heart worms from occurring. She loves the beefy taste. Great product, great company. Buy from Joe, you won't regret it.
The best!!

Heartgard Plus Chewables
We live near woods and there are many mosquitoes around us. I badly need heartworm protection for my two dogs. I only trust the original heartgard plus. So far my dogs never had any heartworm despite of our living area. I'm happy with heartgard plus.
Expensive but effective
Bit expensive compared to other products but it works well. Very effective. You can be assured that your dogs are free from heartworms. Worthy of your every penny.
