Heartgard Plus Kills The Larvae In The Blood Stream

2016/5/3 15:20:58

Too often, pet owners fail to take the threat of parasites seriously when it comes to their pets. Instead of being quick to follow a medication regimen that would prevent their pet from suffering from any number of parasites, such as hookworm, ringworm, and heartworm, they fail to take the necessary precaution until sometimes it is entirely too late. Heartworm is a disease that can be prevented as easily as it can be acquired.

All it takes for a dog to get exposed to heartworm is for the dog to be bitten by a mosquito carrying heartworm. Then the larvae are transferred into the dog’s bloodstream where it travels through the dog’s system. The end result is that the dog can have heartworms that infect the heart, and then move on to the lungs and other systems. As the disease progresses, it will result in weakened arteries and affect the liver’s ability to function normally.

All it takes for heartworm to be prevented is for the dog to receive regular treatments of Heartgard Plus. Heartgard Plus kills the larvae in the blood stream. The dog may continue to get bit and exposed to heartworm, but instead of the larvae having an opportunity to mature, they are killed before they can do any damage.

Heartgard Plus is unique in that it is one of the few products on the market that has been considered safe for puppies and pregnant dogs. Six week old puppies can use Heartgard Plus to protect against heartworm. And pregnant and breeding dogs can use it without any concern that it will be harmful to the litter.

Instead of fighting the dog to take medicine, most dogs love taking Heartgard Plus. It is a soft chew that is made from beef. They respond as if they are receiving a treat instead of receiving a treatment. And while some medicines need to be given daily, weekly, or monthly, Heartgard Plus needs only to be administered once a month to be effective.

Heartgard Plus has become the number one most prescribed heartworm preventive medicine on the market because it is safe to use on a wide range of dogs and it is easy to use.
