HEARTGARD Plus® - The Number One Choice

Heartworm is one of the most common and dangerous diseases that our pets are at risk of contracting, but by using a heartworm preventative medication it is also one of the most easily preventable. The number one recommended choice by American veterinarians is HEARTGARD Plus®, which when used as directed can prevent heartworm infection in your dog. The convenient, chewable tablets taste just like a treat to your pet, making them easy to administer. HEARTGARD Plus® comes in different dosages that are tailored to dogs of different weights and are safe for puppies as young as six weeks, which lets you start protecting your pet as soon as possible in their life. HEARTGARD Plus® is given on a schedule of just once a month and works to kill immature heartworms introduced to the dog in the past 30 days, thus preventing the development of adult heartworms that lead to the serious complications and necessitating more serious treatment from your veterinarian. HEARTGARD Plus® is the most recommended heartworm prevention tool because in addition to the active ingredient Ivermectin that kills heartworms, it also contains Pyrantel, which kills canine roundworms and hookworms in the dog's intestinal tract. This offers your pet triple protection against the most common parasites that plague your dog's health and give you peace of mind that your best friend is safe.

Heartworm Info: Prevention Is The Best Medicine

Heartworm disease has spread all over North America and is particularly endemic in certain regions. With the spread, pet owners anywhere now face the risk of their pets becoming infected and can benefit from using a heartworm preventive product to shield their animals from risk and protect them from developing the serious complications associated with heartworm disease.

American Heartworm Area

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition that is caused by parasites that your pet can contract in their bloodstream from mosquitoes. The parasite grows in your dog and can slowly weaken your pet, robbing them of their health and in the end can shorten their life significantly. Responsible pet owners that protect their animals from heartworm through a preventive product can also reduce the rates of heartworm because mosquitoes can only pass on the parasite through biting infected animals.

Heartworm can be treated but because the common mosquito spreads it and veterinarians often only see symptoms once it has reached a more advanced stage, it's often undetected for years. The treatment used to combat an infection is risky, very expensive in terms of vet bills and is often ineffective in the end. For these reasons it is smart to look to prevent heartworms before your pet is infected.
