Information
Heartgard Plus for Dogs
Heartgard Plus for Dogs is a once-monthly chewable designed to help protect your dog from heartworm disease while also treating and controlling common intestinal worms. Heartworm disease is transmitted through mosquito bites and can become serious if left unmanaged, making consistent prevention essential. This easy-to-administer chew is made with a real beef flavor that most dogs readily accept, simplifying monthly dosing. In addition to heartworm prevention, it helps manage certain hookworms and roundworms that can affect your dog’s digestive health. Suitable for dogs and puppies from 6 weeks of age, Heartgard Plus offers a convenient and reliable way to support your dog’s ongoing parasite protection.

How It Works
