HeartGard Plus Chewables for Dogs Upto 11kg (Blue) X 6
HeartGard PLUS is a meaty, chewable treat that prevents heartworm disease (caused by Dirofilaria immitis) by eliminating the tissue stages of heartworm larvae. It will also treat and control roundworms and hookworms.
Heartworm infection is spread by mosquitoes; when the mosquito bites your pet, the larvae enter the dog’s body and migrate to the heart and blood vessels of the lungs. Over a period of months, the larvae develop into adult worms that can reach up to 30 cm in length. These worms essentially clog the blood vessels of the heart and lungs, which can cause heart failure, respiratory disease, and death. Heartworm treatment for dogs is potentially dangerous and expensive so heartworm prevention is essential. Heartworm disease is seen in all mainland states of Australia. Some heartworm tablets can be difficult to administer, but HeartGard PLUS is a soft, real beef chew that dogs love.
