Heartgard Plus: Highly Recommended for Heartworm Treatment Review
When it comes to heartworm treatment, there is only one drug that comes to my mind. And that is the cheapest Heartgard Plus. Well, for other people, they may not consider this as a cheap drug. But if we think about it, it is composed of two very effective drugs in the price of one. There’s no better deal than that. Based on my personal experience, Heargard Plus is 100% effective.
I started giving a monthly dose of this drug when my pooch reached the age of 10 weeks old. But according to what I’ve read from other sources, you can actually start giving the drug for as early as 6 weeks of age. It is very safe to use for puppies. In fact, it can also be used for pregnant and lactating dogs. It will do no harm to such dogs.
My dog is already 1 year old. Since the heartworm problem on my place is quite rampant, I choose to protect him with the Heartgard Plus Chewables. I prefer this chewable tablets since these are very easy to administer. According to the package, it comes in a yummy beef flavor. And judging from my dog’s reaction to the medicine, he must really like it. My dog is always looking forward for his monthly dose of Heartgard Plus. And since it comes in a chewable form, I make sure that my dog chews the drug, and not swallow it whole.
My neighbors here have an unpleasant habit with giving the Heartgard Plus. They only give the drug when it’s mosquito season. I believe the drug will not be 100% effective when this is done. As what I have read from many Heartgard reviews, it is very important to give the drug continuously throughout the year. I followed this religiously. And the end results are quite satisfying.
