Iverhart Plus and Iverhart Max are both effective medications for heartworm prevention in dogs, but they differ in the range of additional parasites they cover.
- Iverhart Plus protects against heartworms, roundworms, and hookworms.
- Iverhart Max extends coverage to also include tapeworms.
Choosing between these two depends on the specific parasite risks your dog might face based on their lifestyle and environment. For dogs that are at higher risk of encountering tapeworms—perhaps those that have frequent exposure to fleas or other potential carriers—using Iverhart Max might be a more comprehensive preventive measure.
