Heartgard Plus Chewables Directions:
Most dogs find Heartgard Plus palatable, the product can be offered to the dog by hand. Alternatively,
it may be added intact to a small amount of dog food. The chewable should be administered in a manner
that encourages the dog to chew, rather than to swallow without chewing. Chewables may be broken into
pieces and fed to dogs that normally swallow treats whole.
When replacing another heartworm preventive product in a heartworm disease preventive program,
the first dose of HEARTGARD Plus must be given within a month (30 days) of the last dose of the former
medication. If the interval between doses exceeds a month (30 days), the efficacy of ivermectin can be
reduced. Therefore, for optimal performance, the chewable must be given once a month on or
about the same day of the month.
