Heartworms are parasites that threaten the health of your dog. They are spread when a mosquito that has bitten an infected dog goes on to bite a healthy dog. Heartworms are long, spaghetti-like worms that live in the major blood vessels between the heart and lungs of infected dogs. Just one IVERHART PLUS® (ivermectin/pyrantel) Flavored Chewables given monthly can:

Treatment and control of roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina) and hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma braziliense).
