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. Plus, it's safe for use in breeding or pregnant dogs, providing peace of mind for pet parents.
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.
