What is Heartworm Disease, and How Does Heartgard Plus Help Medium Sized Dogs?
Heartworm disease is a potentially fatal condition caused by Dirofilaria immitis, a parasite transmitted through mosquito bites. Once inside a dog’s bloodstream, heartworm larvae mature into adult worms that invade the heart and lungs, leading to severe organ damage, respiratory distress, and even death
Heartgard Plus combines two powerful active ingredients:
- Ivermectin – Eliminates heartworm larvae before they can mature.
- Pyrantel Pamoate – Treats and controls hookworms and roundworms, preventing intestinal infections.
By administering Heartgard Plus Chew monthly, you can keep your dog heartworm-free and protect them from common intestinal parasites.
