- ivermectin

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.

Treat for Bella
My dog Bella is picky, But when she sees me get this box,she wags her tail in circles ,sideways a around. She thinks she is getting a treat that she loves. And you cannot beat Joe's Pet Meds pricing. And that is a treat for me. Thanks
Reliable Products at Great Prices!
Have been buying pet supplies from Joe's for a couple of years now. Know I can get reliable quality at the best prices. Even better than going through my sister who is a veterinarian! Thank you, Joe!!
Heartgard Plus
I have successfully given my dogs Heartgard Plus for 10 years now with no side effects and no heartworm infestation. It is a product that I would recommend to anyone for their loved pets. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Heartworms are no laughing matter and many dogs die every year for what can be prevented with a single treat every month.
Heartgard Plus
It is so good to feel safe.
meds
Very good product all around would recommend this highly.
Great Pricing
Joe's Pet Meds has better pricing for such necessities than anywhere else I have found. I love shopping here as I have always had 5-6 dogs. Thanks Joe!! Tammy Hartwig
Good Product
This is a good product, we give it to our furry baby every month!
Heartgard
I have purchased this product for the second time it works just as good as the product I purchase from my local vet for half the cost. I am sold on this website why pay double the price for the same product thank you.
Easy to Give Meds
As doggie drugs go, this is by far one of the easiest to give my picky pup. The soft chewy dose is apparently pretty tasty (I have not sampled for myself, and really, Lucy would happily eat garbage or cat poop, so am not sure what "tasty" really means), and she readily snarfs it each month. Whatever the cause, it relieves a headache, and am happy to have it for her.
great price
I found it cheap in here. I buy regularly for Joe's since my dogs need a continuous protection from heartworms. I live in a farm and there are many stagnant water in my place so there's really a lot of mosquitoes in here. And I'm afraid my dogs will get a heartworm disease. Good thing there's heartgard plus to protect them.
