What is the first thing you think about when getting a new pet? I can guarantee it is not Iverhart Plus or any other medicine for your new pet. All you are thinking about is your new pet. You are thinking how cute he/she is, how playful and funny he/she is being. When to feed them and how much to feed them. Definitely not about Iverhart Plus. But that is ok you are not supposed to be thinking about that. Keep thinking about the wonderful gift you have just recieved. Let your vet help you think about Iverhart Plus and the other medicine they need, after all that is their job. And they do a really great job at that, I know mine does.
So what is this Iverhart Plus I am Talking about. Simply put it is a heartworm and parasite prevention medicine for dogs. It is administered once a month and comes in a liver flavored pill. Here is the hard part. Some dogs might not like the taste of it. My dog, Loki, did not at first, but like most dogs, he will eat anything. I will Loki the pill as a treat and put it directly into his mouth. He will spit it out and then he will pick it back up and eat it, kind of funny if you watch him. He has a few funny quirks. But anyway, if your dog does not like it, then here are a few tricks:
1) Put it in his food. They might eat around it though.
2) Put it in some peanut butter. I have never met a dog who did not like peanut butter.
3) Hold your dogs mouth up in thew air and put it in the back off the throat. I do not use this because i do not want him to choke on it, but i have never heard of a dog choking using this method though.
4) Put it in any other "people" food you give your dog. Apples (no apple seeds), eggs, carrots, etc.
