Can my dog get monthly Heartgard Plus while on Pyrantel for hookworms?

Yes this should be fine and shouldn't cause him any harm. I just wouldn't give them on the same day. You will need to deworm today and repeat it in 3 weeks to help get ride of the hookworms. I would then have your vet check a stool lsample to ensure they are gone. I hope this helps!

Heartguard Plus also controls roundworms and hookworms, so there is no need to give the Nemex 2 now. However you should give your puppy Nemex in about two to three weeks in order to hit the worms that hatch from the eggs the Heartguard did not catch.

Yes, you can give tapeworm specific medication alongside heartgard plus. Remember that tapeworms can be transmitted by fleas so you should keep up to date with flea prevention in order to reduce tapeworm burden

You can give him Drontal, which kills tapeworms. Heartgard contains ivermectin and pyrantel pamoate, while Drontal contains praziquantel which is needed to kill tapeworms. Do not give them that the same time, but it's fine to give a day or two apart.

Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The general dose of the liquid pyrantal is 1 ml per 10 pounds of body weight. You can very safely give 1.5 ml to the 15 pound dog & 2.0 ml to the 20 pound dog every month with the Iverheart & this is essentially the Iverheart Plus. Take care.

Hello, you should expect a die off period of 3-5 days after administration of the medication. Because it is administered orally, most roundworms and hookworms begin to die almost immediately, but it may take up to 3-5 days to have complete clearance of worms. You may recheck a stool sample in 10 days to ensure there are not more parasites noted. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, I recommend treating with first round then repeating a round 3-4 weeks after the first. Then her stool rechecked 4 weeks after the 2nd round. Be sure to start your dog on a good heartworm preventative like Intercpetor or Sentinel which can help prevent reinfection with Hookworms. If your dog has been off heartworm preventatives have her tested before restarting. I hope this helps and good luck!
