Heartgard Plus–heartworm Prevention for Dogs & Cats
If you are looking for Heartgard Plus, but are on a budget, you may be in luck. There are plenty of companies that offer Heartgard Plus at an affordable rate. Below are a few tips to consider where comparison shopping.
Heartgard Plus is a monthly heartworm medication for dogs and cats. It is one hundred percent effective against heartworms, and eliminates and controls other dangerous parasites. Plus, your pet will accept these chewable tablets, and consume the whole dose every time.
Heartgard Plus is available for three weight ranges; 0–25 lbs, 26–50 lbs, and 51–100 lbs. And it is the number one choice of veterinarians for heartworm disease prevention.
For Cats
Heartgard is also used for the control of hookworms in cats. The regular dose for cats (5 pounds or less) is 55 mcg and for cats 6-15 pounds is 165 mcg. Side effects in cats include agitation, loss of appetite, staggering, dilated pupils, tremors, blindness and disorientation. The symptoms of overdose in cats may include disorientation, tremors, incoordination, and blindness.
For Dogs
Dogs of any age can succumb to roundworms from an environment polluted by the feces of infected animals. Dogs over 6 months of age should be examined for heartworm disease prior to being put on any medication. Dogs with roundworm and hookworm infections may heighten the risk of human exposure, especially in children.
Fortunately, prevention is no sweat with Heartgard (ivermectin) Chewables or HEARTGARD Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel), because dogs prefer the taste and texture of these Real-Beef Chewables thirty-seven to one over the next leading brand.
Generic Versions
Both medications are available in generic forms (Iverhart Plus, Valueheart)–and at half the price! While the packaging, color or shape may be different, they use the same actual drug and behave in the same way.
Please note that both the Heartgard and its generics come in hard tablets, not meat-flavoured chewables like Heartgard Plus. Both the generic and name brand versions use the same ingredient, ivermectin, at the same dose. So these products are the same in terms of safety and effectiveness.
In Australia, generics (and the manufacturing facilities in which they are made) are rigorously checked and tested in order to be registered and sale of the product endorsed. So you can be assured of the quality of the product when buying it. If you’ll use it as directed, it will ensure the same protection for your dog or cat against heartworm infection, as Heartgard will.
Please note that the two products Heartgard and Heartgard Plus do not prevent the same symptoms. Heartgard prevents heartworms but does not control roundworms and hookworms like Heartgard Plus does.
Conclusion
Both prevenatitives are available only through a licensed veterinarian.
In conclusion, many pet owners face this same problem. This is nothing to be ashamed of. Thousands of pets across the world also suffer from heartwoms.
