Choose Heartgard Plus To Give Brilliant Pet Care.
Posted by: Rebecca Foxton in Family, tags: FamilyVeterinarians prefer to use Heartgard Plus for the prevention of heartworms. The key ingredients, ivermectin and pyrantel, make this medication highly effective.
It is not currently possible to buy Heartgard with no prescription, so you would need to consult your vet before starting treatment.
Heartgard Plus dog treatment comes in three dosages for different weights of 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 color coding helps owners remember which dosage is appropriate for their dog, making it easier to select the correct package.
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.
Before starting puppies over the age of 6 months on the preventative program, they must be tested for heartworms and given a clean bill of health.
Heartgard Plus, being in the form of a chewable beef flavored treat, is highly palatable, making it much easier to get your dog to take his medication. This medication also protects against two species of roundworms and three species of hookworms, in addition to preventing heartworm infestation.
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.
The company that manufactures Heartgard, Merial, also makes Frontline, Enacard, Recombitek, Imbrab, and Oravet. You will know that the Heartgard Plus chewables that you purchase for your dog are in good 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.
Heartgard offers a monthly reminder service to help you remember when it is time for your pet’s medication.
