Heartgard Plus Chewables for Dogs
Heartgard Plus for Dogs is a trusted monthly treatment designed to protect your beloved canine companion from heartworm disease. These chewable tablets are real beef-flavored, making administration a breeze for both you and your pet. Not only does Heartgard Plus prevent heartworm disease, but it also controls and treats 3 species of hookworms and 2 species of roundworms, ensuring comprehensive protection for your furry friend. With its convenient monthly dosing regimen, Heartgard Plus offers peace of mind for pet parents while promoting your dog's overall health and well-being. It is recommended for dogs 6 weeks of age and older.
How does Heartgard Plus (ivermectin, pyrantel) Chews work?
Heartgard Plus chewable tablets for dogs contain two key ingredients, Ivermectin and Pyrantel, which work together to protect your furry friend against heartworm disease and intestinal parasites. Ivermectin works by disrupting the nerve transmission in heartworms and other parasites, ultimately leading to their paralysis and death. Pyrantel, on the other hand, acts by paralyzing and eliminating intestinal parasites like hookworms and roundworms. By administering Heartgard Plus regularly, you can effectively prevent heartworm disease and control common intestinal parasites in your dog, ensuring their continued health and well-being.
Nuheart
Nuheart is a generic Heartgard tablet that offers the same effectiveness as Heartgard. It is a soluble, monthly heartworm tablet that treats and prevents heartworms in dogs for a month. It features a unique three-way delivery system of Ivermectin, its key ingredient that eliminates heartworm larvae and protects dogs from the dangerous heartworm disease. Nuheart tablets are sweet, meat flavored tablets that make administration easier for dogs and are very affordable as compared to Heartgard.
