Heartgard Plus Chewables Reviews

After having nursed my inlaw's dog through heartworm treatment, I will never let my dogs go without heartworm pills. The treatment is hard on even a young dog, and elderly dogs really suffer. (Plus it's expensive, and it's NOT optional. Heartworms are slow killers, but killers nonetheless.) — Thank God for Heartgard making it easy! — The brick-shaped chewables are soft and smell like treats. My dogs will actually do tricks to earn them. The size of the doses ranges from about an inch long for the little dogs to about an inch and a half for the biggest. If you have a dog larger… read full review »

I'll never forget my first "introduction" to Heartguard many years ago, in the reception area of our veterinarian's office. On the counter, for all to see, was a clear glass jar. The contents inside the jar were a "piece of meat" entangled with "spaghetti-like" strands. In actuality, it was the preserved heart of an unfortunate dog who had contracted heartworm! What I saw here was so GROSS! I remember thinking to myself that there was no way any dog would be able to function with a heart that was literally being suffocated by so many worms! Needless to say, my dogs have always been on… read full review »

Heartworm prevention is so important for EVERY dog. I love HeartGard because it is a flavored chewable that my dog loves to eat. Some people dont understand how serious and dangerous heartworms are. I work at a Vet Hospital that does a lot of work with rescue groups and we see countless dogs come in that are infected. And although the treatment is generally safe, it is expensive and some dogs are still lost because of such severe infections. So to anyone that is a dog owner and is considering whether or not to purchase Heartgard, PLEASE DO! If you dont like Heartgard there are… read full review »

Heartgard is a monthly item that needs to be given to your dog to prevent heart worms. — This is a very important item in sustaining your dog's health.  It comes in 6-month supply packages and is beefy flavor; therefore, making it very appealing to your dog.  My dog just gobbles these right up. — I feel very confident in this item.  Have owned 3 dogs. My 2 dogs in the past lived for 13 & 14 years. I always gave them vitamins and Heartgard. — I plan to follow the same routine with my now 16 month old American Staffordshire Terrior.  He is my… read full review »

Heartgard is a great thing!  My dogs actually look forward to taking their monthly medicine.  I've given Heartgard to three different dogs.  Two of those dogs are generally pretty picky.  They won't eat just any old biscuit.  They love their Heartgard chewies!  They will even do tricks for 'em.  When my boys gobble them down they are always looking for more.  They look at me and I can tell they're thinking "But Mommy we did good tricks for those treats.  Why can't we have more?!".  Sorry boys!  Only once a month. … read full review »

I have given my dogs heartguard for years and I never buy it from the Vet.  They are so overpriced.  I found a place on line where it is so much more reasonable and with 4 dogs i have to watch my pennies. I had two dogs get heartworms many, many years ago and was able to save both of them but that is not an experience I would want to go thru again. — ChelCass —… read full review »

While working at a veterinary clinic i'll be the first to tell Heartworms are horrible parasites. But since heartgard they are not cheap to prevent and very expensive to treat. Heartworm treatment on dogs are a horrible process, a large needle must be stuck straight into thier heart and usually after and during treatment the dogs are lethargic, throw up and are just plain miserable. Heartgard Prevents this and makes it so your furry friend doesn't have to go through this painstaking experience. So be a responsible pet owner and prevent heartworms.… read full review »

My dog's name is Bebe and I love him like, I assume, any proud pet owner would. My loyal, cute and smart chow Bebe now and then has to fight that worm problem and I can't tell you enough, how much Heartgard Plus Chewables helps me to deal with this problem. And I must add, that Bebe gets his relief almost instantly... or it seems so. He starts to act differently almost right away... a lot calmer and enjoys his treats much, much better. Thank you for this wonderful… read full review »

I love Heartgard Plus Chewables.  The dogs think that they are getting a treat.  Heartgard has been around for a long time, so that means something to me.  I don't like to try to newest products that come out, they don't seam to have to go through all the same testing as they do for human medicine.  They put out some new medication that sounds like it would be great, but no body tells you about side effect, or they find out about side effects monthes after it has been on the market being used.  So I stick with Heartgard. — Heartworm is a devastating thing… read full review »

Heartgard is a life saver! — — In 1994, for my wedding present, my still current husband, Bryan, gave me the sweetest Japanesse Akita puppy, Khan.  Khan was with us for eight months, when three teen-age boys broke into our home and shot him with a .357.  He survived.  Shortly after that surgery, he had another problem due to inbreed... a fluctuating mediate patella, for which he survived another surgery... he was run over by a BMW (survived)... then we had to move to Montgomery in 1997, we were there for six months and confined to a very small two-bedroom, for… read full review »

Every month when I turn the page on my kitchen calendar to a brand new month I go into — the little room where I keep my dogs brushes and shampoo and their Heartgard box. —  As soon as I am opening the box they come running with tails wagging.  They stand — right by me knowing they are going to get that "monthly" treat.  Heartgard is that treat and — it is almost like a reward for them as they take it in their mouths and run off to their private — place to devour this soft chewable Heartgard that will Guard their Hearts for a month. — I… read full review »

My dogs--I have four Austrailan Blue Heelers--love to chase cattle.    There is one male named Blue and three spayed females named Sassy, Pepper and Patches. With their help my son and I can bring into the cow pens two hundred head of cattle and then work them in small numbers.  The dogs are there to help every inch of the way. — I've had the dogs since they were six weeks old.  Their training started immediately, and they all learned quickly.  They love me and I love them.  I give them Heartgard every month.  They each one take… read full review »
