Description Heartgard Plus Chewables is a monthly meaty chew used for the prevention of heartworm disease and for the control of roundworms and hookworms in dogs. Directions for Use Heartgard (Ivermectin) is given once a month year round for the prevention of heartworm disease.

Dogs over 100 lb are given a combination of the tablets. Cautions This medication should not be used in animals allergic to it. Heartworm testing should be performed prior to the start of prevention therapy. If the animal is off ivermectin for 6 months or less, start the medication and test after 6 months since microfilaria, which take 6 months to mature, may result in a positive test result.
