What Is It Used For?

It also prevents Heartworm disease by killing the tissue stages of heartworm.

Once the heartworm moves from the tissues to the blood stream, it may cause a reaction from the worm dying and causing a blood vessel blockage. Hence the need to Heartworm test dogs which have not been on regular prevention or have missed prevention for more than 60 days.

What If I Miss A Dose Or Two?

If your dog’s dose is overdue by less than 2 weeks(15days),apply the dose immediately and continue as normal

If overdue by less than 60 days, resume dosing as normal for a minimum of 2 months in a row.

If overdue by more than 60 days, speak to your vet as your dog may require a heartworm test.
