These medicines can be given each month of a year till the heartworms are completely removed from the body. Heartworm medicines are available both in ointment and tablet form. The ointment can be applied externally, whereas the tablet can be dissolved in the milk, so that it is easier for the pet to consume it.
Nuheart is a very renowned one for those who wish to give their pets the medicine in tablet form. It is one of the rare kinds of liquid soluble pills available in the market so far. Heartgard Plus is another popular medicine available in tablet form that can be easily chewed and has a tasty treat. Those of you who wish to treat fleas and heartworm together can opt for Advantage Multi and Revolution. These are made available in ointment form and can be easily applied on the skin. They also cut down the cost that would have involved in buying two separate medicines for two different infections on the same pet.
Whether or not you want to go for medicines without a prescription is completely the owner’s choice. If you have got your precious dog tested, then there should not be any harm for taking medicines without a prescription. But if you have not got it tested for heartworm, then it is strongly advised that you should get your dog checked first before investing on a monthly medication.
