Heartgard Plus for Dogs is a trusted preventative for heartworm disease. It offers a simple yet effective solution to safeguard your furry friend's health. This chewable tablet is formulated to prevent canine heartworm disease by targeting the tissue stage of heartworm larvae for a month. It also effectively treats and controls roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina) and hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma braziliense). With a real-beef flavor that dogs love, administering Heartgard Plus Chews is a breeze. It is a monthly heartworm treatment for dogs and puppies 6 weeks of age and older.

Heartgard Plus for Dogs contains ivermectin and pyrantel as its active ingredients. Ivermectin works by interfering with the nerve impulses in parasites, ultimately causing their paralysis and death. This prevents the development of heartworm larvae into adult worms and also helps in eliminating other internal parasites. Pyrantel works by paralyzing and killing roundworms and hookworms, ensuring comprehensive protection against intestinal parasites. Together, these ingredients provide effective and reliable protection for your dog's health.

Heartworm disease is a potentially deadly disease that can cause permanent damage to dogs’ health even before it can be diagnosed. When an infected mosquito bites a dog, they get exposed to the risk of heartworm disease. If neglected and left untreated, it can lead to heart failure and eventually death of the infected dog. The treatment of heartworm disease is complicated and expensive. Compared to this, heartworm disease prevention is simple. Heartgard Plus is one such convenient option to prevent heartworm disease and treat and control 5 species of intestinal worms.
Heartworm disease cases have been reported in all the 50 states of the US in both indoor and outdoor pets. Also, a dog of any age can get infected with heartworm disease. Heartgard Plus chews attack heartworm larvae that have infected dogs in the previous 30 days, which prevents larvae from growing into adult heartworms and causing harm.
It all starts with a mosquito bite.
