Each new Heart Gold chewable monthly heart worm treatment
contains 136ug Ivermectin, which is sufficient to kill heart worm larvae
for the next 30 days.
However, there are a few basic precautions that must be observed when
treating for heart worm.
Only feed to dogs
that are heart worm free, so if in doubt, consult your veterinarian before
use.
Heart Gold is not
suitable for pups under 6 weeks of age.
Treat regularly. Heart
Gold chewables only kill heart worm larvae that have become established
over the previous 30 days.
Ivermectin, the active
component of Heart Gold chewables is present at an extremely low level.
However, all chemicals, no matter how low the dose rate, can cause side
effects, so keep a close eye on your dog following the initial treatment.
If in doubt, consult your veterinarian
Heart Gold chewables are suitable for all dogs including
