About this product

What is Iverhart Max?

For:

Dogs (8 weeks of age and weighing at least 6 lbs)

Benefits:

How does Iverhart Max work?

Iverhart Max is an anthelminthic (dewormer). The ingredient pyrantel pamoate is used to treat and control roundworms and hookworms in dogs. Praziquantel is used for treating and controlling tapeworms. Studies have indicated that certain dogs of the herding breeds are more sensitive to the effects of ivermectin administered at elevated dose levels due to the MDR1 gene. For a full list of dog breeds that may be affected, click here.

Can cause sensitivities in herding dog breeds. Side effects of Iverhart Max are rare, but may include lethargy, limpness, salivation, shaking, diarrhea, decreased appetite, licking lips, and belching. Do not give Iverhart Max to your pet if already giving a different heartworm medication. The safe use of this drug has not been evaluated in pregnant or lactating bitches.

What is the most important information I should know about Iverhart Max?

Iverhart Max is a prescription medication available as soft chews in four strengths for dogs of different weights. Iverhart Max is packaged in boxes of 6 tablets and 12 tablets each tablet individually foil wrapped. It is important for the pet to consume the entire tablet. Iverhart Max should be used in dogs at least 8 weeks of age and no weight requirements. Iverhart Max is for use in dogs only.

What should I discuss with my veterinarian before giving Iverhart Max to my pet?

Tell your veterinarian if your pet has ever had an allergic reaction to the medication or any of it's individual ingredients.

How should Iverhart Max be given?

Use with caution, Collies and other herding dog breeds have been known to have adverse reactions to ivermectin administered at elevated dose levels. Give Iverhart Max exactly as directed by the veterinarian. If you do not understand the directions ask the pharmacist or veterinarian to explain them to you. The usual dose of Iverhart Max in toy dogs 6 to 12 pounds is 34mcg/28.5mg/28.5mg (Magenta), for small dogs 12.1 to 25 pounds is 68mcg/57mg/57mg (Blue), for medium dogs 25.1 to 50 pounds is 136mcg/114mg/114mg (Green) and for large dogs 50.1 to 100 pounds is 272mcg/228mg/228mg (Brown). For dogs over 100 pounds the appropriate combination of strengths is used. Remove only one tablet at a time from the foil backed blister card.

What happens if I miss giving a dose of Iverhart Max?

Because humans can contract hookworm and tapeworm from animals, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene. It is also important to eliminate fleas on the pet and in the household and to not feed the pet rodents. To prevent reinfection, daily cleanup of stools is recommended.

Triple protection
Ellie loves to play in the woods and sometimes drinks and eats nasty things. The triple action covering the major types of worms gives us assurance she is as protected as possible.

Ivertheart Max
Hey its me again, Brody I'm 4 years old and have taken Iverheart Max every month since my Vet prescribed it. It seems to do the trick. But golly geese can you improve the taste? Each month my mom trys to camouflage it. It really doesn't work. All she ends ups doing is ruining some good peanut butter. That's it. It works but hate the taste.

Tastes Terrible
My Lab will eat anything (well, not lettuce) and she won't even lick these things. Refuses to eat even if coated in cream cheese. Tried to "hide" it in her food, she ate all around it. Broke it up into smaller pieces, she ate around those. Never had this problem with Heartguard.

Dog hates it
We bought this a few months ago and right away Lucy decided she didn't like it. Refused to eat the pill as is, refuses to it hidden in a treat, and very sceptical about eating it crushed up in a soft treat. Also, the package says it's a soft chew. It is not soft at all, just a little brick.

Bring back tablet form
I like iverheart max for heartworm prevention and because it offers tapeworm prevention as well as hookworm and roundworms too. I wish it was still in tablet form, my dog won't eat treats. Hiding 1 tablet is easier.

Wonderful product. Not easy to find.
After I rescued 2 dogs, vet put them on Iverhart Max. Only problem has been that manufacturer stopped supplying it to vendors But I'm thrilled that it's available again--in a chewable form--ONLY through 1-800-Petmeds. Vets don't carry it, nor other online pharmacies at this time. Plus Petmeds is the only online pharmacy my vet trusts, so me too!
