Heartworm Disease: Potentially Deadly; Prevention is Easy

Just one bite from an infected mosquito could put your pet at risk for heartworm disease—a serious condition that can cause permanent damage even before it can be diagnosed. Left untreated, heartworm disease can cause heart failure and even death. Treating heartworm disease is costly and complicated. But heartworm disease prevention for dogs is simple. HEARTGARD Plus chews prevent heartworm disease and treat and control 5 species of intestinal worms. Plus, dogs love HEARTGARD Plus chews: they’re #1 dog-preferred and made with real beef.

All Dogs Need Heartworm Disease Prevention

Cases of heartworm disease have been reported in all 50 states and in both indoor and outdoor pets.  All dogs—no matter the age—are at risk for heartworm disease. When given monthly, HEARTGARD Plus chews offer year-round heartworm disease prevention for dogs.

Why Do Dogs Need Monthly Heartworm Disease Prevention?

HEARTGARD Plus chews attack heartworm larvae that have infected your dog in the previous 30 days.
This prevents the larvae from growing into adult heartworms and causing harm.
By administering monthly heartworm disease prevention, your dog will stay protected all year long.

Directions for User

The usual dose of HEARTGARD® Plus in dogs weighing up to 25 pounds is 68mcg, dogs 26-50 pounds 136mcg and dogs 51-100 pounds 272mcg. The chewable tablets should be chewed. They are not meant to be swallowed whole. For dogs that normally swallow treats whole, the tablet can be broken into pieces. Please follow your veterinarian’s instructions exactly when using this medication.

Special Precautions

This medication should not be used in animals allergic to it. Use with caution in Collies. Heartworm testing should be performed prior to the start of prevention therapy. If the animal is off HEARTGARD® Plus for 6 months or less, start the medication and test after 6 months since microfilaria, that take 6 months to mature, will result in a positive test result. Because humans can contract hookworm from animals, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene. It is also important to eliminate fleas on the pet and in the household and to not feed the pet rodents or uncooked meat or fish. To prevent reinfection, daily cleanup of stools is recommended. Pets with allergies to beef or corn should not use HEARTGARD® Plus.
