Why your Dog Need Heartgard Plus?

How Does Heartgard Plus Chew Work?

Heartgard Plus contains ivermectin and pyrantel pamoate, two active ingredients that effectively eliminate parasites:

• Ivermectin: Kills immature heartworms before they develop into adults
• Pyrantel Pamoate: Eliminates and controls roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina) and hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma braziliense)

Heartworms are transmitted through mosquito bites, and without prevention, they can grow into foot-long worms that live in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels, leading to serious and potentially fatal complications.

Dosage and Administration – How to Give Heartgard Plus Chew to Your Dog?

Always consult your veterinarian for exact dosage instructions based on your dog's weight.
