We have noted that more and more customers are now buying the more all encompassing brands like Revolution and Advantage Multi. We recommend that you take a look at these products via the links above or on the sides as they not only treat for heartworms but also offer protection from the pesky flea and other common problems. If you currently use a flea treatment you will find it much more cost effective to switch to one of these brands that can treat for them both in a simple monthly treatment. It is becoming much more common to now treat in this way.

But, Heartgard Plus plus is still the favored cheap heartworm medicine for Dogs. It is the most popular item from the whole range is is the best choice if we simply want to treat for heartworms. Available for a low price we are even able to buy a generic version if we wish to cut down on costs.

It is recommended that if you do not know which brand is the best choice that you take a look at them all and choice the one you feel will be most suited to  you and your Dog. All the meds for heartworms listed will work very effectively so there is no need to worry that one is more effective than the other. It is simply about choosing the brand that is most suited to both lifestyle and the price that you wish to pay. What you will find though is that we have the lowest possible prices. And if you have done some price comparisons you will be all to aware that many stores are less than competitive when it comes to price.

Please browse the full ranges offered and choose the most suitable brand for you and your Dogs.

There are a number of different brands and it can be a little confusing at times.

Before I do I thought it may be worth taking a look at a heartworm medicine video.

It is always worth getting as much information as possible and sometimes a video can help us understand things a little better.

Choosing Heartworm Medicine For Dogs

Whether or not you are already using heartworm meds for your Dog it is still hard to know which one is the best. There are a number to choose from, Heartgard, Valuheart and Revolution to name but a few.

Which one is the best?

There is no easy answer. It is often down to personal choice but should also be based on what else you wish to treat for. If you are already using a seperate medicationto treat for fleas or intestinal worms then it may be better to switch to either Heartgard orAdvantage as these offer additional benefits such as treating against intestinal worms or fleas.

It is always a good idea to use as few products as possible if we possibly can. We can save money on heartworm meds and other meds by trying to combine the two whenever we can.

Heartworm For Dogs And Saving Money

Apart from saving on using additional treatments we also save money by combining treatments if we can. Why buy a seperate wormer if you can purchase Heartgard and have an effective all in one treatment?

It is certainly worth browsing through the different medications for heartworms available and choosing one that will treat for all the additional parasites that your Dog may be exposed to.

This is certainly a very effective way to combine Dogs heartworm medicine and other problems such as fleas or intestinal worms.

As we know there are quite a number of different cheap heartworm medicine types to choose from. From generic heartworm pills to brands such as Heartgard. Which one we use depends on whether or not we want additional protection for other problems our Dogs or Cats may get.

Cheap Heartworm pills for Dogs are the choice of many owners because they are so simple to give to our pets. There are, however, a few animals that seem to be able to just sense when we are trying to give them medicines. Some Dogs, especially, will simply not swallow pills. If you have tried to give your pet the heartworm pills and it simply will not swallow them then why not try the following.

If you have tried wrapping the tablet in some food, like a piece of cheese, and the Dog simply eats that and spits out the pills then try totally breaking up the pill with a pestle and mortar. You can then mix this in with its normal food and it will never know the difference. To be on the safe side and just in case it doesn’t eat its meal, at first try it with something extremely appetising. Brown off some mince or something similar and mix it with the crushed pill. All Dogs should then be more than happy to take their pills.

I recommend not trying it with their regular food first. Because they are used to it they will be more inclined to leave it if they know the smell is different because of the heartworm pills. By using something extremely tasty there is much more likelihood that they will eat the treat that is coated in the heartworm medication. It is only once a month so if you are concerned about wasting a heartworm pill then always use something special to mix the pill with.

If you are sure that your pet never knows the difference in smell or flavor then after a few months you can revert to mixing it with its regular food. It is better to use a special treat than waste the heartworm pills because we need to ensure our Dogs and Cats take it each and every month.

If you do decide to give heartworm pills rather than a monthly topical solution then you can make some very cheap purchases via the links here . Generic heartworm pills are very inexpensive and you can treat a Dog for six months for only $20.

Take a look at the different heartworm pills available and see which brand is best suited to your pet. You may want to combine treating for heartworm with controlling intestinal worms by using Heartgard Plus. It is the most popular of all the cheap heartworm pills for Dogs available.

Here at heartworm medicine I touched briefly on getting heartworm medication without a prescription on the heartworm medicine for Dogs post. I want to take a closer look at this subject as it is important that as Dog owners we act responsibly as well as trying to get the best prices for our heartworm medicine.

Many countries require you to have a prescription for certain pet meds. Heartworm for Dogs is one of those medications. It is difficult to know whether or not this is a good thing. One thing is certain though, it makes purchasing heartworm medicine online a lot more trouble. The problem is that it is so much cheaper than purchasing from the vets. Sites like Pet Care Choice are one of the few online source where you can make purchases without the need for a prescription for your heartworm medicine for Dogs. They are also very cheap as well which makes them an ever better source for all your pets medications.

But is this legal? Should we buy heartworm medications without a prescription? Let’s take a look at the arguments.

Why To Buy Heartworm Medicine Without A Prescription

Convenience has to be one of the main factors. Going to the vets to ask for a prescription and then having to fax or post it to an online pet meds store is simply too much hassle. For most of us it means we will simply end up spending more money and buy it while we are at the vets.

If we buy from a source like Pet Care Choice then we do not have this inconvenience. We get a very good price and do not have the hassle either. With a few clicks we can have the medicine in a few days without the inconvenience of driving to the vets, getting a prescription and probably spending more money by purchasing while we are there.

This leads on to the second reason. Cost. It is simply cheaper to buy online. We get better deals and can care for our Dogs properly even if we have a fairly tight budget. Of course some sites are much more expensive than others. I have done extensive research in to the prices of heartworm medication for Dogs as well as all other pet meds. There are huge differences in prices and I only recommend the best sources of meds available. I always want people to save as much money as possible.

Why Not To Buy Heartworm Medicine For Dogs Without A Prescription

Some will argue that you need a prescription because all Dogs, ideally, will be tested for adult heartworms before they are put on a monthly course of tablets to prevent the larval worms from ever developing to adults. By needing a prescription it ensures that Dog owners talk to a vet about heartworms before simply using a monthly dose.

Is it legal? This is a grey area. Because places like the US sell the medication only with a prescription you need to purchase from across the border in Canada. They do not have such restrictions. It is not certain if this is entirely legal or not.

Should You Buy Heartworm Medicines Without A prescription?

This is an individual choice. If you have previously had your Dog checked for adult heartworms and are now looking for a cheaper more convenient supply then I don’t see why not. Why pay more and go to all the trouble involved with prescription heartworm medicine?

If you have not had your Dog checked then it is simply a matter of having it tested before you begin a course of monthly treatments. You then know it is safe to use non prescription meds. They are the same meds after all. There is no difference in them at all.

The problem is further compounded by the worms themselves. If your Dog has adult heartworms they can be treated for them at the vets and after a few weeks rest they should be fine. However, many of the meds you can get without a prescription can actually do this job as well, but over a much longer period. The heartworm meds without a prescription that you buy can get rid off the worms as well. The differnece is that you MUST give  a monthly dose for at least a year. You cannot miss a month and it must be every month for at least a year. This will stop any new worms forming and slowly get rid of the adults as well. This is also a much cheaper alternative. Especially if you buy generic heartworm medicine.

This kind of negates the vets visit. Personally I think a visit to the vets for an initial check is the best idea. It may be much better to have the adult worms treated so there is no danger to the Dog if you miss a month of the year long course. It is down to the owner to decide this.

The other issue is one of legality. Personally I find some rules are not sensible. If it is a matter of a single step from one territory to another and I am allowed to buy my heartworm medication without a vets visit then I don’t see the problem. It is a grey area and I cannot find a definitive answer to this question. If I am buying exactly the same product but do not need to drive to the vets and fill in forms and spend more money for the priviledge then that is exactly what I will do. This is again down to personal opinion.

If you want heartworm meds without a prescription then use the cheapest source and get your meds delivered in a matter of days to your door. If you wish to get a prescription first then do so, but you will have the added inconvenience. This is one of those decisions that is entirely up to the indvidual who makes the decision on where to buy heartworm medicine for Dogs.

What do you think? Let me know your opinion on this.

If we are concerned about heartworms in Dogs  and Cats (and we should be), we have a few choices of products available to us. It can often be a little overwhelming trying to choose the best heartworm medicine, especially if we are unsure what brands really are the best. Heartworms in Dogs can be a very serious issue so we want to ensure that we get the best possible preventative treatment that there is. There are a number of preventative treatments available as well as treatments for Dogs that already have heartworm symptoms. Heartworm medication can be very successful at curing this terrible problem but it is much better if we can simply take preventative measures to ensure that our Dogs never get heartworms in the first place.

There are a few leading brands such as Heartgard, Interceptor, Sentinel and Revolution but Heartgard by Frontline is probably one of the most well known and respected as it is made by the leader of treatments for fleas and ticks. Frontline for Dogs is the best treatment against ticks and fleas and I would be inclined to go with frontline for their heartworm medicines as well.

Heartgard Plus prevents all forms of worms including roundworms and hookworms. It comes in easily digestible tablet form that you administer monthly. Whichever product you decide to use to protect your Dog from heartworms you should ensure that you always follow the prescribed course. In some areas this will mean giving your Dog heartworm medication all year round while in other areas it will only be necessary for part of the year.

As heartworm for Dogs is caused by the mosquito it really does depend on the presence of mosquitoes in your area. If they are present for a large part of the year then a monthly treatment is always recommended. If mosquitoes are only a problem during the warmest weather then it is recommended that you supply heartworm medicine for Dogs for a month before the season begins and a month after it ends.

Where To Purchase Heartworm Medicine For Dogs

At present a lot of heartworm meds are prescription only. This means you will have to buy from your Vets or online from one of the companies that supplies a prescription as you make your purchase. There are some exceptions though, at least at the time of writing, and surprisingly it is for the more discounted brands like Valuheart which, although without any tasty meat flavor like the more expensive heartworm medicines, has very good reviews. Valuheart is one of the few heartworm medicines that you can purchase without a prescription and is also one of the cheapest.

UPDATE: Having not long written this post it seems things have changed already. Nearly all heartworm medicines are now prescription based, at least in the US. However, some online stores can sell without a prescription because of where they are based or because it is automatically issued. I just found out you can get Valuheart by clicking the link. It is only $20 for a six month supply which is about half the price of Heartgard.
You can now also make great savings on all heartworm meds without a prescription. All banners on this site now take you to a Canadian pet meds store where you can buy everything without a prescription. As well as making life an awful lot easier the prices are also the best on the web. I have just found them but this is fantastic news.

You will definitely pay a little more if you purchase something like heartgard or Heartz but it is only a few dollars extra and it comes in tastier tablet form. Choosing the brand probably depends on how good your Dog is at taking its medicine!

Personally I have a lot of faith in Frontline but that is just my opinion. It seems that the basic ingredients have the same effect whatever product you buy. You can purchase generic Heartgard which has the active ingredient Ivermectin an anti-parasite medication which may work out a little cheaper than the branded products. Personally I would go for something like Heartgard Plus as it does more then just stop heartworms. It also protects against hookworms and roundworms which can be a real danger to Dogs. For a few dollars more it may be better to purchase this as it will protect from both heartworms and the other potentially dangerous parasites that your Dog may get.

Whatever heartworm medicine for Dogs that you decide to purchase just ensure that you get it from a reputable supplier. If you have problems getting your Dog to take tablets then it is advised to crush the tablets and add to a tasty treat. For my Dogs anything that is wrapped in a little cheese is wolfed down immediately but if that fails then a crushed tablet is never noticed when added to their normal food.
