Ingredients
MilbeGuard’s active ingredient is Milbemycin Oxime, which is well-known for its efficacy in treating and preventing a range of parasitic infections. The tablets are also formulated with a palatable beef flavor, making them easier for pets to consume. For a complete list of active and inactive ingredients, refer to the product packaging.
How It Works
MilbeGuard contains Milbemycin Oxime, an active ingredient that effectively targets and eliminates multiple types of parasites. By interfering with nerve transmission within the parasites, it causes paralysis and death, preventing heartworms, roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms from thriving in your pet. Administering MilbeGuard monthly ensures that your pet remains protected from these harmful parasites year-round.
