Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does Iverhart Plus protect dogs against?
Ans: Iverhart Plus helps protect dogs from heartworm disease by killing the tissue stage of heartworm larvae for up to one month after infection. When given as directed, it also treats and controls common intestinal parasites, including roundworms and hookworms.
Q2: How often should I give Iverhart Plus to my dog?
Ans: Iverhart Plus should be administered orally once every month during the period when mosquitoes are active. The first dose must be given within thirty days of initial mosquito exposure, and the final dose within thirty days after the last exposure.
Q3: Does my dog need a heartworm test before starting Iverhart Plus?
Ans: All dogs should be tested for an existing heartworm infection before starting treatment. Iverhart Plus does not kill adult heartworms, so any dog that tests positive must first receive proper treatment to eliminate the adult worms before beginning preventive use.
Q4: Is Iverhart Plus safe for puppies and Collies?
Ans: Iverhart Plus is recommended for puppies six weeks of age and older. Studies indicate that ivermectin products are safe in dogs, including Collies, when used at the recommended dose, although certain Collies may be sensitive at elevated doses.
Q5: What should I do if I miss a dose of Iverhart Plus?
Ans: If more than thirty days pass between doses, effectiveness may be reduced. Administer Iverhart Plus immediately and resume the recommended monthly schedule. Prompt treatment helps minimize the opportunity for development of adult heartworms.
