Apart from the generics it is Heartgard Plus that is by far the best seller. This medication will treat for heartworms as well as a number of intestinal worms as well. For a very complete and comprehensive combination medication then it is Revolution or Advantage Multi that are the top choices.

The problem for many pet owners is that it is difficult to know what medication is best for their pets. Here I would like to offer a little advice to help you choose although, of course, the final decision always lies with the person who cares for the pet.

Choosing Heartworm Medication

The choices we have are really based on a few factors, these are either generics, branded heartworm treatments and treatments that combine heartworm control with treating for other common problems such as fleas and intestinal worms in the same easy to apply application.

Let’s take a look at some of the top recommendations for each category:

The Best Generic Heartworm Medications

We have a few to choose from but it seems that Valuheart is by far the best seller when it comes to the generic option. This is probably due to the fact that it is the generic equivalent of Heartgard. It has Ivermectin as its active ingredient just as Heartgard does and is just as effective at preventing heartworms from reaching a dangerous size.

What it will not do is give any additional protection for roundworms and hookworms like Heartgard Plus will. If you do not need that type of protection than a generic is a perfect choice.

Branded Heartworm Medications

There is little doubt that the Heartguard range is by far the most popular. But there are others as well. For a well respected name then Heartgard is recommended but you will find that all the items here at the heartworm site are very safe and extremely effective at what they do.

It is really down to a personal preference and the amount that you wish to spend when deciding which one to buy. Of course the other main factor is whether to take the opportunity to combine the treatment with treating against intestinal worms and also the ever present problem of flea control.

Combination Treatments

If you currently use a separate treatment for flea control or other worms then it may well be worth considering switching to a combination treatment. The most popular choice is Revolution. This topical external application is applied straight on to the skin. It then provides total protection from heartworms and fleas for at least a month.

For the best all round and total protection then by far the best available treatment is Advantage Multi, also known as Advocate. Here is a quote from the manufacturer:

Advocate Kills Fleas, Flea Larvae, treats and prevents Heartworm Disease, Controls & kills intestinal Roundworms, Hookworms, Whipworms, Treats & kills Sarcoptic Mange & Dog Lice.

As we can see it very effectively combines the treatment for all the common problems we have in both our Dogs and our Cats. If you want to simplify life and ensure that your pet is completely protected from all these all too common problems then Advantage Multi should be your medication of choice. There really is little that is more effective and safe for your pet.

I have spent many months immersed in the world of pet meds and what I found did not make me very happy. Firstly there are the totally over-inflated price that we are charged by many of the leading pet med stores. A simple price comparison led me to eventually find a sponsor for this site that sells heartworm medication at realistic prices (click the banners to view) and also sells heartworm medicine with no prescription.

The murky world of pet meds aside, and the ridiculous fact that many countries only allow us to buy heartworm medicine with a prescription, which is a blatant way to increase prices, just how should we go about preventing heartworm for Dogs?

We can purchase generic heartworm medications, like Valuheart to the right, which is only $20 for a six month course. This means we can keep our Dogs heartworm free for $40 a year, which is very reasonable indeed.

We also have the option to purchase any of the many other heartworm medicines available. You can get all of them without a prescription by clicking the banners. There are lots to choose from and depending on what you wish to treat for there are many different prices and problems they can prevent.

Heartgard is probably the most well known heartworm preventative and with the new improved heartgard plus we can now use it to stop heartworm developing and also to prevent intestinal worms which are a problem for some Dogs.

We also have medications like Advantage which will prevent the heartworms and also fleas and intestinal worms. It is fast becoming a very popular choice as it covers so many bases in one application.

There are also natural ways to prevent heartworm for Dogs and they should not be dismissed.

Keeping your Dog inside at dawn and dusk will greatly reduce its risk of exposure to mosquitoes. It is the mosquito and the mosquito only that can carry the miniscule offspring of adult female heartworms that cause the danger. If you lower the risk of mosquito exposure then you greatly and naturally lower the chance of your Dog getting heartworms.

You should also stay well away from water during the mosquito season as water is a breeding ground (especially stagnant water) for the mosquito. Natural heartworm preventatives can only go so far, but if you want to stay away from any chemical based solutions then avoiding the mosquito will be quite effective.

Personally if I was to treat all year for heartworm for Dogs I would use something like heartgard or a generic like Valuheart, they are cheap but highly effective.

The treatment for adult heartworms in a Dogs ventricle is based around arsenic poisoning, although newer treatments are now coming into practice. It requires lots of rest for a few weeks, and although your Dog is very likely to make a complete recovery you can avoid this ever happening.

Heartworm Treatment – Dogs Heartworm Medicine

Heartworm medicine is very simple to administer, especially in pill form. This is a heartworm treatment Dogs quickly get used to and if you combine the pill with a tasty treat it is something they actively look forward to. Heartworm for Dogs in the form of heartworm pills is what many owners prefer although there are topical applications, such as Advantage Multi that do a lot more than simply treat for heartworms for Dogs. It also guards against fleas and many intestinal worms. It is very popular because it treats for so much.

What you will find though, is that if you simply wish to treat for heartworms and nothing else then all you need is the active ingredient – Ivermectin.

It can be purchased in many different forms but the best and easiest way for Dogs heartworm treatment is to purchase it under the generic heartworm brand Valuehart. At $20 for a six month supply it is cheap, effective and probably the best way to administer heartworm treatment Dogs will be happy with.

Heartworm Treatment – Dogs Heartworm Preventatives

Whichever heartworm medicine you decide to use, and there are a few, they will all keep your Dog free from getting adult heartworms, which is the real danger. The heartworm societyof America now recommends a monthly treatment all year around, but whether you feel this is necessary is entirely up  to you, the owner.

Carried by the mosquito, it may or may not be a major concern for you for the whole year. You should at least treat for a month either side of mosquito season if you have any concerns about heartworms in your area. The best heartworm treatment Dogs can have is to prevent it in the first place. A simple monthly pill is the easiest way to do this, unless you wish to treat for things such as fleas and intestinal worms, in which case a topical solution by Advantage is probably more cost effective.

You can purchase all the heartworms medicines without a prescription via this site. We are also sponsored by the lowest priced source of pet medicines online, so it will be quick and very cheap to make a heartworm treatment Dogs will be happy taking at a very low price.

Which heartworm medicines are non prescription? It completely depends on the country you live in. As a rule though it is normally either all hearworm medicines that are prescription only or they are all available without a prescription.

There are a few countries where one or more of the many heartworm pills may be different to the rest but usually it is all or none of them.

Here all our heartworm meds are prescription free. We direct you to a Canadian site that carries all manner of pet medicines. Many of which are prescription free because they are shipped from them rather than your own country, where you require a prescription.

By making purchases like this you save considerable money. All our heartworm medicines have the lowest prices online as well as not needing a prescription. This means that you can get the meds for your Dog or Cat much quicker as well as at a lower price. You do not need to visit the vets to collect a form but you should always ensure it is safe to give your pet the heartworm medicine. This means it must be cleared of adult heartworms.

There is nothing to be concerned about when it comes to quality. All the medications are the genuine thing, it is simply that they are shipped from Canada to avoid the prescription. Making purchases like this means we get both the benefits of cheaper rates because of the currency difference and also make our lives easier. What we should never do is purchase from anywhere where we feel the quality may be compromised.

Our pets health is very important and if you ever feel that a site may be offering anything other than the genuine article then you should never make the purchase, however cheap it may seem. You can buy the proper products at low enough prices to never need to buy suspicious goods. There are some very amateurish sites online that sell counterfeit pet meds from Asia. Never even think about these products as being suitable. They could be dangerous and saving money does not mean we should put our pets at risk.

Always make your heartworm medicine purchases from totally reliable sources. Our sponsor has a very good history and fills all orders very quickly and has many satisified customers. This is what we should always look for in an online store.

Non prescription heartworm medicine should never mean buying counterfeit goods. Simply buy the genuine product from your nearest country that has different laws and you can save money but still ensure the complete safety of your pet.

As more pet owners become concerned about the dangerous effects of heartworms there is a concern about when heartworm medication for Dogs or Cats should be given. Knowing when to use heartworm medication and when it is safe to do so will mean we can make a much more informed decision about using heartworm medicine. Many pet owners are unsure about if they should use heartworm pills and just how often they should be given.

Schedule Of Heartworm Medication

If you do decide to use heartworm meds to prevent  from forming then it MUST be given monthly. All the heartworm medicines available are to be given monthly. Whether you administer a monthly pill or a topical spot-on, the course calls for a monthly dose.

You can give the medication a month after the beginning of mosquito season or a month after you believe your pet may have been exposed. This will effectively kill the small heartworms that may have been introduced to your Dog or Cat.

Once begun you must continue to give the monthly guard against the worms to ensure that no large worms ever develop.

How Long Is The Heartworm Meds Course?

Previously it was recommended that we gave the heartworm meds to our pets for one month either side of the mosquito season. However, things seem to have changed, at least that is the opinion of some. The American heartworm society now advocates giving a monthly treatment all year round.

Even in apparently dry areas where there are, as a general rule, very few mosquitoes there are now reported cases at all times of the year. Partly due to the increasing levels of water sources (golf courses, swimming pools, ponds etc) the exact reason may be unknown but there is a small but genuine risk at all times of the year.

They recommend that to be sure that your pet does not contract heartworm problems you should give the treatment twelve times a year.

Which Medication To Use

The choice of medication is completely up to the owner. There are quite a number of different meds to chose from. The choice will partly be influenced by any other concerns you may have. If intestinal worms are a problem then Heartgard is recommended as it treats for both possible problems.

If fleas, heartworms and intestinal worms are a concern then Advantage Multi is definitely the medication of choice. If you simply wish to treat against only worms then generic heartworm medications such as Valuheart are a very cheap but effective option. All of these medications are available without a prescription from our sponsors.

Whichever medication you choose you must ensure that you stick to a monthly treatment. Get advice from your vet about any possible side effects, especially if your pet is taking any other medications. All animals should first be tested for heartworms before commencing a course. A monthly heartworm medication should not be given until you are sure that no adult heartworms are present. It can be very dangerous for the animal if they already have heartworms and the monthly medication is begun.

After looking at what heartworm medicine for Dogs we can purchase it is also important that we undertand just how heartworm medicines work. Heartworm meds, as we have seen, are available from all the leading pet med brands such as Frontline and there are also more generic heartworm medicines that will save a little but not very much. They all work in a similar way but as I am most familiar with frontlines Heartgard Plus we will take it as our example.

Heartworm meds such as Heartgard are used to prevent canine heartworm disease by eliminating the tissue stage of heartworm larvae (Dirofilaria immitis) for a month  after infection. This means that the heartworm medicine for Dogs will effectively rid your Dog or Cat of the larvae that they may have been infected with by the mosquitos that carry them.

You should start the treatments no later than a month after your pet has been exposed to mosquitos but it is highly recommended that you begin treatments with heartworm medications a month before the beginning of the mosquito season. You should also continue giving heartworm meds for a month after the end of the mosquito season.

Once heartworm medicine is given to your Dog or Cat it will kill Dirofilaria immitis for a month. This is the larval tissue stage of the worms.
What it does not do is kill the heartworms in the more adult stages. This will require treatment by your Vet. This is why it is always recommended that you have your pet checked for heartworms before you use heartworm medicine. If you think your pet may already be infected with the more adult heartworms then consult your Vet for an effective treatment.

To avoid this always provide heartworm medication whenever you believe there may be a risk to your pets health. It is quite expensive to have your Dog treated for adult heartworms and it will require a serious lack of activity on their part for a few weeks after treatment. This is why it is extremely important to prevent heartworms in the first place.

The heartworm meds will destroy the worms at the larval stage but will not kill the adult worms that can cause major blockages in the heart. By using a medicine early you can catch the worms when they are still small enough to be killed. Heartgard will eliminate these small worms if used up to a month after the animal has been exposed to mosquitos that carry the worms. This is why many Vets recommend a year round treatment to prevent the heartworm problems from ever occuring.

If you live in an area that has even a slight risk of heartworm then this is what is recommended. It is much cheaper to prevent heartworms than to treat an animal once it has the adult worms. It is extremely dangerous for your pet and very costly for you. A simple monthly treatment is definitely what is recommended so that your Dog or Cat never has to be treated for adult heartworms.

As we can see heartworm medicine for Dogs will destroy the early stages of the heartworms. It is very important to use the heartworm meds before the adult heartworms can grow. This stage is not reached for months but to prevent a life threatening danger to your Dog or Cat use the preventative medicines to stop them heartworms from ever reaching that stage.
