Tri-Heart Plus is a monthly chew indicated to kill heartworm larvae and to control/treat adult hookworms and roundworms.
Tri-Heart Plus is safe and has caused no side-effects in most dogs, but upset stomachs have been reported. Incoordination, convulsions, or drooling have also been reported rarely. Always contact your veterinarian if your pet appears sick or behaves strangely after taking Tri-Heart Plus.
Talk to your veterinarian about any other drugs your dog is taking before starting Tri-Heart Plus.
All dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection before starting treatment with Tri-Heart Plus, which is not effective against adult D. immitis. Infected dogs must be treated to remove adult heartworms and microfilariae before initiating a program. Tri-Heart Plus is not indicated for dogs younger than 6 weeks old. Herding breeds (such as Collies) can be sensitive to the active ingredient, so talk to your veterinarian if your dog may be affected. If you miss a dose, your dog needs a blood test to resume your normal doses safely. Notify your veterinarian if you've skipped a dose or have any concerns. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children.

Tri-Heart Plus flavored chewable tablets are an FDA-licensed product, indicating they are safe and effective when used as recommended on the label. All dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection before starting treatment with Tri-Heart Plus.
In clinical trials, many commonly used flea collars, dips, shampoos, anthelmintics (deworming medications), antibiotics, vaccines and steroid preparations have been administered with ivermectin/pyrantel in a heartworm disease prevention program. For questions about specific medications, please consult your veterinarian.
Ivermectin/pyrantel, the active ingredients in Tri-Heart Plus, have a wide margin of safety at the recommended dose level in dogs, including pregnant females, breeding males and females, and puppies 6 weeks or older, according to the package insert.
No. Tri-Heart Plus is labeled for use in dogs to prevent heartworm disease and not for the treatment of heartworm infections. The package insert contains this precautionary statement: “Infected dogs must be treated to remove adult heartworms and microfilariae before initiating a program with Tri-Heart Plus flavored chewable tablets.”
No. Tri-Heart Plus is not approved for use in cats.
Medications, including Tri-Heart Plus, should never be administered after the expiration date. Studies have shown that Tri-Heart Plus will maintain its desired effectiveness when administered prior to the expiration date, when stored as recommended on the label.
Yes. The entire tablet should be administered as a single dose once each month. The smallest-sized Tri-Heart Plus tablet, in the blue-colored packaging, is labeled for dogs weighing 25 lbs or less. These tablets are scored to make it easier to break the tablet apart and have the small dog take the complete tablet but in smaller pieces at a time. Regardless of whether the tablet is broken apart or given the whole, the entire tablet should be given as a single dose.
Ivermectin/Pyrantel, the active ingredients in Tri-Heart Plus, have a wide margin of safety at the recommended dose level in dogs, including pregnant females, breeding males and females, and puppies 6 weeks old or more according to the package insert.
Contact your veterinarian immediately if accidental overdose occurs. To reduce the risk of accidental overdose in situations where more than one person may administer Tri-Heart Plus, we suggest ticking off the date on a specially marked calendar or making some other note to indicate that the dose has been given. Make a habit of checking with the other pet caregivers in your household before giving any medications to your pet.
In clinical trials, many commonly used flea collars, dips, shampoos, anthelmintics (deworming medications), antibiotics, vaccines, and steroid preparations have been administered with ivermectin/pyrantel in a heartworm disease preventive program. For questions on specific medications, please consult with your veterinarian.
If the interval between doses exceeds 30 days, the efficacy of ivermectin can be reduced. Therefore, for optimal performance, the chewable tablet must be given once a month, on or about the same day of the month (Sign up for our email reminder service). If treatment is delayed, whether by a few days or many, please contact your veterinarian, as immediate treatment with Tri-Heart Plus chewable tablets and resumption of the recommended dosing regimen minimizes the opportunity for the development of adult heartworms.

This was my 2nd or 3rd order of Tri-Heart, as a cheaper alternative for Heartgard. But something has changed with this order. The tablets are SO hard. My dog has always easily taken these-- but with this new order she absolutely will not eat it. So much for saving money- I will donate the rest of these, and go back to Heartgard. I'm really not sure what they changed, but she won't touch any from the new order, even if I break them up and mix in her food.
I have never had a bad experience with this company. When I need to order my dogs prescriptions, I always get help from a representative. They are always so patient and have such a positive attitude. They are a pleasure to do business with!!
This product works just as well if not better than other expensive heart worm medications. I have been using for years as a satisfied customer. I bought my 12 year supply from someone else this year because Chewy prices keep increasing on everything
I have always used this product on my pugs, and just started ordering it from chewy. The customer service team was so helpful, as the vets office fax machine was down for a week. They kept sending emails, because the vet was not responding. I have since changed vets, but kudos to the chewy team for staying on top of it! Thank you so much
Dogs like the taste, so it's easy to give; Service is fast and, and any interaction with representatives is always pleasant.
I'm giving the product 3 stars because it's just as good as other heartworm prevention meds. But Chewy's price cannot be beat! About $20 less expensive for the same product from my vet. 5 stars for Chewy!
We always give Wrigley a Heartworm pill each month for his protection, even though he is well protected with all of the good-for-him each month.
Have used this product for years and love it. All my dogs have enjoyed the taste and taken it readily each month!
This was my first time ordering a prescription item and will definitely order again. Delivery only took 1 day longer than my regular package so they are super fast with confirming info. As for the meds themselves, they contain the exact same ingredients as the name brand and I have used these for my dogs in the past and they've never gotten heartworms. *Keep in mind testing at the vet can only detect adult heartworms and these meds can only kill larvae so the reviews that say they don't work must have had a lapse in either testing or medication. If you live in the south or your dogs are outside a lot, they should be tested every 6 months instead of once a year + prevention.
This is an amazingly affordable option to prevent heart worm disease in dogs.
