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.
