Tri-Heart Plus is a heartworm preventative. This medication prevents infestation by heartworms, roundworms, and hookworms. It contains two active ingredients, ivermectin and pyrantel pamoate. These are the same active ingredients found in Heartgard® Plus.

All dogs should be tested for heartworm infection before starting a preventative program.

For:

Dogs (6+ weeks of age, no weight requirement)

Benefits:

  • Tasty beef-flavored chewable tablets
  • Easy to administer
  • Small, easy-to-chew tablet for smaller or finicky dogs
  • Given once a month

How it works:

Ivermectin/Pyrantel is an anthelmintic (dewormer). The ingredient pyrantel pamoate is used to treat and control roundworms and hookworms in dogs. Together, these ingredients cause neurological damage to parasites. This leads to the paralysis and death of heartworms, roundworms, and hookworms.

Studies have indicated that certain dogs of the herding breeds are more sensitive to the effects of ivermectin administered at elevated dose levels due to the MDR1 gene. Dog breeds that may be affected include:

  • Australian Shepherd
  • Australian Shepherd Mini
  • Border Collie
  • Collie
  • English Shepherd

Storage:

Should be stored at room temperature.

Do not remove the chewable from its wrapper until ready to give to your pet.

  • Give Tri-Heart Plus (Ivermectin/Pyrantel) Flavored Chewables once a month on the same day of each month year-round.
