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.

no flavoring for dogs with pork allergy
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsMy Lillie has allergies to pork. These tablets do not have any flavoring, so they are perfect for her. I just wrap the tablet in a piece of cheese and followup quickly with another piece of cheese and she doesn't even know the pill was in the cheese. -

Perfect because my vet doesn't carry the tablets
From Watsontown, PAComments about Heartgard TabletsWe give this to my dog once a month for preventing heartworms. I'm thrilled to be able to get the tablets from Vet Rx because my vet doesn't carry the tablets. My vet carries a different form, but my dog requires the tablet form due to his food sensitivities. Because the medication comes as a tablet, I have a method to help my dog swallow it. Just before giving it to him, I put a little dry dog food (prescription diet) in a bowl, add a small teaspoon of pumpkin, and put the tablet in the pumpkin. Then I mix it up just a bit and hold the bowl for him to eat it. He gets a yummy treat, and by holding and tilting the bowl just so, I make sure he gets the tablet. There was one time he didn't swallow the tablet, so we had to try again. You have to serve it right away, though, because the tablet will start to dissolve when it comes into contact with moisture. I just wish I could buy a year's worth of medication at a time. I buy every 6 months. Overall, I'm a happy customer. #sweepstakes -
Perfect because my vet doesn't carry the tablets
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsVery happy with Heartgard. My dog has food sensitivities, so we need the tablet form of Heartgard instead of the 'treat' version that our other dog gets. My vet doesn't carry the tablet form and recommended Vet Rx. It was a painless process getting my dog signed up, and I love that I can request refills that Vet Rx takes care of, including getting a new script if needed. It's also sweet that each package contains a cute little treat with limited ingredients. The only thing I wish is that I could order a year's worth of tablets at a time, like we do with our other dog's Heartgard. Overall, pleased with the product, set-up, and speed of the process and shipping. -
Great alternative for dogs with Allergies
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsMy dog is allergic to beef, which is in most heartworm medications, so I am so thankful that they make this now! -
So happy to find these hard-to-find meds at VetRxDirect!
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsOur dog Hank has beef allergies so we had to find an alternative preventative heartworm medication for him. Not many pet pharmacies carry the flavorless tablets but fortunately I found them here at VetRxDirect. He took the tablet with peanut butter with no problem and he has been a happy, heartworm-free pup since. Thank you to the company for making these available for sensitive dogs like our 90-lb baby Hank!-

No stomach issues with tablet.
From UndisclosedComments about Heartgard TabletsWe have a dog with IBD so we use the Tablets instead of the chews so not to upset his system. Only just started it but the 1st tab results were ok, no issues.

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.
