Heartworm Medication

Heartworm is a serious concern for pet owners. This parasite can kill their cats or dogs. This is why heartworm medication, a pill usually taken once a month, is so important.

Some brands of heartworm medication are Heartgard, Sentinel, Interceptor and ProHeart6. Heartgard is a chewable tablet designed to control various parasites in both cats and dogs. Sentinel is a chewable tablet designed only for dogs while Interceptor covers both cats and dogs. ProHeart6 is a new shot that your veterinarian can give your pet. This injection will protect your pet from heartworm for six months.
