How Heartgard For Dogs and Heartgard Plus For Dogs works.
The active ingredient in Heartgard acting as a heartworm medicine against Dirofilaria immitis is “ivermectin”. This heartworm medication works in two steps. First, it prevents as much as possible the presence of the parasite in the host animal. Then it eliminates the tissue stage of the parasite, blocking later development of more damaging and harmful stages.
.
Heartgard Plus For Dogs includes an additional ingredient called pyrantel pamaote, which is an anthelmintic, a drug that control roundworms and hookworms by expelling the parasites of the host animal body by killing them.
.
Heartgard For Dogs and Heartgard Plus For Dogs both come in beef flavor chewable or monthly tablets. This heartworm medicine is approved for all dogs over the age of six weeks. Heartgard For Dogs and Heartgard Plus For Dogs come in different doses for different size of dogs, so make sure you check the label when purchasing this heartworm medicine, to ensure giving your dog the right dosage. Collies and some other breeds that are sensitive to ivermectin can also use this product, as the heartworm medication comes in doses much lower than the dose needed to cause side effects to the host animal.
