Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How often should I give HEARTGARD Plus to a dog up to 25 pounds?

Ans: HEARTGARD Plus must be given once every thirty days to maintain protection against heartworms, roundworms, and hookworms. The chew works by eliminating heartworm larvae for the past month, so staying consistent with monthly dosing is essential for complete protection.

Q2: Can HEARTGARD Plus be given with other parasite, flea, and tick products?

Ans: Yes. Clinical studies show HEARTGARD Plus can be safely used along with many common flea collars, dips, shampoos, antibiotics, vaccines, and steroid treatments when used as directed. Always follow your veterinarian’s advice when combining parasite products.

Q3: Is HEARTGARD Plus safe for puppies up to 25 pounds in weight range?

Ans: HEARTGARD Plus is safe for puppies starting at six weeks of age without any minimum weight requirement. As long as the puppy fits the weight range for this chew strength, it can be used safely under a veterinarian’s guidance.

Q4: What should I do if my dog spits out or drops part of the HEARTGARD Plus chew?

Ans: If you suspect any portion of the chew was not eaten, a full replacement dose should be given. Dogs should be watched for several minutes after dosing to ensure the entire chew is consumed for complete monthly protection.

Q5: Does HEARTGARD Plus protect against adult heartworms?

Ans: No. HEARTGARD Plus prevents heartworm disease by eliminating early heartworm larvae, but does not treat adult heartworms. Dogs must be tested before starting prevention, and infected dogs need appropriate treatment before beginning a prevention plan.
