Heartworm Medicine for Dogs

Heartworm Medication for Dogs

 

Heartworm disease can be stressful, costly, and debilitating for dogs as well as for their owners. When a dog gets heartworm, he can suffer lifelong damage. Getting rid of heartworm infection and killing the adult worms in your dog's heart, lungs and arteries can be expensive, and it takes multiple veterinarian visits and months of treatment.

Fortunately, prevention can be carried out year-round. Keeping heartworms at bay is always the best course of action. Veterinarians are the best people to ask about heartworm prevention for dogs. They should be well-versed in the latest products and can provide you with advice on which ones might work best for your pet. As puppies need heartworm protection as well, owners of younger dogs should ask about heartworm medicine for puppies.

Preventing Heartworms With Monthly Medications

There are several types of preventive medication available like chewable pills - your dog wouldn't even know they're taking their medicine, topical spot-ons, and injectables. Owners and veterinarians should work together to determine the best product for an individual pet because one form may be easier for owners to give, and because some products may prevent multiple parasites besides heartworms.

We stock products that are specifically tailored to meet the needs of dog owners and their dogs nationwide without breaking the bank, each chosen for its high levels of effectiveness and its benefits for your pets.

The Best Heartworm Medicines For Dogs Of All Breeds And Sizes

In terms of heartworm prevention, dogs are different. What is best for your Cavoodle might not necessarily be best for your larger Labrador Retriever. Dogs should start taking heartworm treatments as early as possible. However, keep in mind that as they gain weight, they will require different dosages of heartworm treatments. It is important to give your dog a heartworm treatment that is appropriate for their weight at any given time as they grow. Larger breeds will also require treatment suitable for their weight.

Fortunately, we offer a wide range of dog heartwormer products to meet your dogs' diverse needs. Browse the product listings today, or get in touch with our team if you need help selecting the right heartwormer for your dog.
