Instructions for Use

Only remove a single chewable from the foil blister at a time. Place the rest of the chewables back in the box to store out of light. Offer by hand or combine with a small portion of food. Administer in the way that encourages your dog to chew instead of swallow. If your dog typically swallows medication or treats whole, break into pieces. Ensure that your dog consumes the full dose, then observe afterward to be sure none is rejected or lost. If any portion of the dose is lost, re-dose. Administer monthly, particularly during mosquito season. Administer within 30 days of the dog's first mosquito exposure of the season, and administer the last dose within 30 days of the last mosquito exposure. Take measures to prevent intestinal parasite re-infection. Monthly HEARTGARD Plus treatment also controls and treats hookworms (A. braziliense, U. stenocephala, and A. caninum) and ascarids (T. leonina and T. canis).

To switch from another heartworm preventative to HEARTGARD Plus, administer this medication within 30 days of the final dose of your dog's old preventative. If your dog goes more than 30 days without heartworm prevention, the efficacy of the ingredient Ivermectin may be lower. For this reason, this medication should be administered monthly on the same day each month. If your dog's treatment is delayed by a few or several days, treat immediately and resume the recommended schedule to mitigate potential adult heartworm development.

Safe Handling/Storage

Store between 20-25 degrees C (68-77 degrees F). Shield from light.
