Choose Heartgard Plus And Discover Brilliant Pet care.
No commentsHeartgard Plus, a combination of ivermectin and pyrantel, has been made the leading brand of heartworm preventative by veterinarians because of it’s outstanding efficacy.
At present, it is impossible to purchase Heartgard without a prescription, therefore you need to talk to your dog’s veterinarian before beginning treatment.
Heartgard Plus is available in three different dosages depending on the weight of the dog.
These dosages are packaged for dogs weighing 0-25lbs, 26-50lbs, or 51-100lbs and can be purchases in a convenient 6 dose/6 month or 12 dose/12 month supply.
Each weight range is packaged with a corresponding color. Blue is for dogs 0-25lbs, Green for dogs 26-50lbs, and Brown for dogs 51-100lbs.
This makes it easier for owners to recognize which package contains the correct dosage for their dog.
Although there is competition from at least one discount generic, Heartgard remains a product of choice.
The monthly dose can be used on puppies as young as six weeks, small dogs, breeding females, stud males, the list goes on.
Prior to starting treatment with Heartgard Plus, dogs over six months of age must be tested for heartworms and receive a clean bill of health.
Heartgard Plus chewables, in addition to protecting against heartworms, two species of roundworms, and three species of hookworms, are beef flavored to make giving them to your pet a much more agreeable process.
It is important to have your dog tested for heartworms by your veterinarian at his annual check up.
Heartgard has a very low incidence of allergic reaction or neurological malfunction, so you can rest assured that it is one of the safest heartworm preventatives available for your dog.
Heartgard Plus chewable are made by Merial, the same company who produces Frontline, Enacard, Recombitek, Imbrab and Oravet, so you will know that you are dealing with a reputable company.
Merial also is swift to point out that no wheat gluten exists in Heartguard for dogs, and therefore it is unaffected by the scandals surrounding wheat gluten.
Use caution when considering the purchase of cheap Heartgard online unless you are very familiar with the supplier.
Another nice service Heartgard dog products offer is a reminder on a monthly basis that you should treat your pet.
With modern life as busy as it is, it’s so easy for that one thing to slip your mind, so the Heartgard dogs’ site will send a reminder email on a monthly basis.
