Heartworm disease was first recognised in Australia 1969 and is thought to have come from South East Asia.

In 1988, HEARTGARD^30® was launched in Australia to provide heartworm prevention with the convenience of monthly administration. Dogs love the real beef treat and really look forward to it.

Heartworm disease remains highly prevalent in Australia. There are several reasons for the persistence of heartworm. Not all dogs in a population are treated with a heartworm preventative. Therefore, un-medicated dogs can act as a reservoir for the disease in the community. In addition, the disease can also maintain itself within a community cycling through a wide variety of native animals ranging from seals to bandicoots.

For these reasons, heartworm prevention with HEARTGARD³⁰ remains an important part of your pet's health care program.
