Heartworm Medicine Questions
People come to this site with many questions related to heartworm medicine. Below I have listed some of the heartworm related questions and the answers that should help.
When to use heartworm medicine.
It is now recommended that you use heartworm medicine once a month all year round. If you do not find this suitable then you should at least use it one month before and one month after the mosquito season.
Should a puppy be on heartworm medicine?
After 7 or 8 weeks a puppy should be on heartworm medicine. You don’t really need to start younger than this and then simply give it a monthly heartworm pill or treatment as you would for older Dogs.
Can I get non prescription heartworm medicine?
Absolutely. All the heartworm medicines available from here at prescription free. This should make the ordering process much easier for you.
Can I buy Advantage without a perscription or can I buy Revolution without a prescription?
Yes. All our Advantage or Revolution heartworm medicines are prescription free.
Can Dogs get heartworms from other Dogs?
Not directly. The only way Dogs get heartworms is from a carrying mosquito. If a mosquito bites a Dog with heartworms and then bites your Dog it may pass on the heartworms. It can’t simply be passed from Dog to Dog though. It must be via a mosquito.
What is the difference between Nuheart, Valuheart and Heartgard?
All of them will protect against heartworms. Heartgard Plus will also protect against intestinal worms though. Nuheart and Valuheart are known as generic heartworm medicines. They are much cheaper and come in much plainer packaging but they are just as effective.
Is there a heartworm pill just for puppies?
You don’t need a heartworm pill just for puppies. All the heartworm medicines can be given to puppies. You just need to purchase a heartworm pill that is for the correct weight or size of your puppy.
