Protection against Heartworms, and Treats and Controls Roundworms and Hookworms

Heartworms are transmitted to dogs and puppies by mosquitos. Without the protection of a heartworm preventive, your pet could get heartworm disease – a potentially deadly illness. Once a dog is infected with heartworms, treatment can be difficult and expensive.

In addition to heartworms, your puppy or dog is also at risk for hookworms and roundworms; intestinal parasites that can cause dangerous diseases in pets. That’s why it is important to provide your dog or puppy with a monthly deworming. When used as directed, HEARTGARD Plus is highly effective in preventing heartworm disease in dogs and puppies as young as 6 weeks old. HEARTGARD Plus also treats and controls hookworms and roundworms – making it the only product that comes in a Real-Beef Chewable that prevents heartworm disease and provides broad control against other parasites that can threaten your pet, as well.
