Great customer service
I had my vet do the heartworm test, and asked her to write me a prescription for a 12 month supply. Heartworm test was negative, (thank God). I had told her that he liked the Heartgard, chewable kind. My vet is very busy and wrote the prescription for pills, not chewable. I realized it when I got home, I let vetrxdirect.com know about the mistake. They took over, got in touch with my vet., and had the prescription switched to what I wanted, and filled the order within the week. THAT IS COSTERMER SERVICE YOU DO NOT SEE MUCH OF ANYMORE!!!

It does have beef in it. I called the company. My dog happens to be allergic to beef. Wish it said that in the ingredients. It doesn't.

Heartgard for an IBD pup
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsMy pup has IBD and needed a flavor free Heartgard. VetRxDirect was the only online pet pharmacy that carried the product we needed. -
Benefits my Dog with Allergies
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsGreat for my Boxer with allergies because still not certain what all she is allergic to -
Would recommend
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsWe started using the unflavored tablets a year ago specifically recommended by our holistic vet as the best option for a doggie fighting cancer. We are very grateful they are available and have worked just as well as the flavored tablets and the dogs have never minded eating them! -
Finally found somebody who carries this product!
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsMy guy has food allergies and vets can no longer get this product. So glad to have an option to purchase this product again! -
I will definitely buy this product again.
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsI had to purchase this product because my dog has recently been diagnosed with a sensitivity to meat proteins. I was so relieved to find this tablet. It's small and easy to administer to my dog. Also, the price here was cheaper than my vet would have charged me, so an added plus! I also thought it would be a hassle to get the prescription from my vet, but it turned out to be fine, and the delivery was faster than advertised too. -
Love this option for my allergy prone Shih Tzu!
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsI really like this tablet option for my Shih Tzu that has allergies. She also has few teeth left and is approaching 15 years old. Lately she decided she really did not like the chewables anymore so I was having to cut those up and wrap them in pill pockets....not good for her heavily restricted diet to control her allergies. Happy I found these! -
Great product
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsI needed a non flavored heart worm medication for my Weimaraner and this fit the bill, thanks! -
Unflavored Heartgard don't make our Labs allergies worse
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsI purchased Heartgard Unflavored Tablets for my dog because of her allergies. She has allergies to some foods, grasses and trees. The chewable heartworm medication seemed to make her allegies worse (she would itch after taking chewable medication). After switching to unflavored heartworm medication, her allergies don't get worse every month when it's time to take her medication. -
When your dog has allergies, this is what the doctor orders
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsWhen my dog's internal medicine specialist says unflavored heartworm preventative only (due to his food allergies) and his dermatologist wants him to get a bath with special shampoo every week -- I won the jackpot with this GSD rescue, he has extensive environmental allergies also -- there really isn't much choice. The pills are huge, but I break them into smaller pieces, so while not yummy like the chewables, that he can't have, I can get him to take his medicine. VetRxDirect is good -- once they have the vet's prescription. I don't know which end perennially seems to tie that part of the order up, but it is by prescription and as such, I understand there are rules/laws to abide by. Still, it usually involves more than one phone call by me after the order's been placed. -

Does the Heartgard tablet also treat for parasites like whipworms??

What is the physical size (dimensions) of the unflavored Heartguard tablet for the 1 to 25-pound dogs??
-
they have been backordered for more than a year so you won't be able to order them anyhow. They were small enough I could put in a pill pocket and my CKCS could eat them.

My 14 year old pug has been on Hearthard chewable his entire life. Recently he was diagnosed with IBD. He was transitioned to Heartgaurd Tablets. He currently weighs 18 lbs. The tablets for dogs under 20 lbs was not available. I was given the tablets for dogs 20 to 50 lbs, ans told to split them and give half the dose. The tablets are not scored and do not split evenly or stay intact. I am asking if this is a prudent way to address the unavailability of the weight appropriate tablets.?
-
It is not recommended to split tablets that are not scored. Please contact your veterinarian for the best option for your dog.
Verified Answer -
you should not split them. The medicine may not be distributed evenly throughout the pill.

Is the tablet small enough for a maltese to swallow. She will not chew anything but dry dog food and will pick out anything else in her bowl?
-
Speak with your veterinarian about the best options for heartworm and intestinal parasite control. There are chewable and topical options available for prevention of heartworms and intestinal parasites if an oral tablet dosage form is not appropriate for your pet.

My German shepherd is on a strict hypo allergenic diet. Are these really unflavored? She cannot have any type of flavor in her treats or pet products. Thanks in advance.?
-
After contacting Merial, the company that manufactures Heartgard, it was confirmed that their are NO flavors or food products used to manufacture the unflavored Heartgard tablets. The fact that this medication has no added flavors and food products makes it ideal for dogs with allergies to certain meats or additives.
