Don't know your pet's weight?

If you can't get them on the scale, try this super simple method:

  1. Weigh yourself.
  2. Weigh yourself holding your pet.
  3. Subtract the two numbers to get their weight.

Too heavy to hold? Your vet will weigh them if you ask (or may already have it on file if you call).

  • Description

    Heartgard Plus is heartworm prevention medication for dogs that’s in a chewable beef-flavoured tablet that dogs love. It defends against heartworm infections dogs can get when they are bitten by mosquitoes - something that is difficult to prevent if your dog is outdoors regularly. Heartgard Plus is a very valuable resource for these pet owners because if left unchecked heartworm disease can eventually be fatal for the dog. Fortunately, Heartgard Plus chewable provides year-round protection against heartworm disease when taken just once a month.

    Buy Heartgard Plus chewable from World Pet Express and count on the best price for this effective heartworm medication.

    Directions

    Dogs usually eat Heartgard Plus chewable as soon as you offer them as they’re about as tasty as can be for a dog. You can very likely feed them to him or her by hand, but if not then the alternative is to mix the chewable into wet dog food and have them ingest this anti-heartworm medication that way.

    Just one chewable per month 12 times a year means your dog is going to be reliably protected against heartworm disease.

    Ingredients

    The active ingredients in Heartgard are Ivermectin and Pyrantel Pamoate.

    Cautions

    Heartgard Plus Chewables are a safe heartworm killer medication for dogs, but it is best to still adhere to certain precaution when giving it to your pet. For starters, all dogs should be tested for heartworm infection before starting a preventive program.

    Never give your pet more than one chewable per month, even if you have concerns about the effectiveness of it or not. Heartgard Plus contains melosomine dihydrochloride, a compound that can be toxic in elevated amounts. For this reason, you must not give your pet more than one chewable a month.

    In addition, Heartgard Plus should not be taken concurrently with any other heartworm medication for dogs.

    Interactions

     Heartgard Plus is FDA and EPA approved, and no interaction risks with any other medication or supplement products have been documented.

    Side Effects

    Most pets will not experience side effects when taking Heartgard Plus for dogs as part of a heartworm prevention approach. However, some side effects may be possible and they include:

    • - Depression/lethargy
    • - Vomiting
    • - Anorexia
    • - Diarrhea
