Heartworm and Worming Chew for Puppy and Small Dogs

Overview

PURINA Totalcare® Heartworm & Worming Chewable Protection is an oral chewable tablet designed to help protect dogs from internal parasites — including heartworm and common intestinal worms such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. The active ingredients — milbemycin oxime and praziquantel — work together: milbemycin oxime provides heartworm prevention, while praziquantel targets tapeworm species and supports control of other intestinal worms.

When administered as directed, the chewable helps eliminate existing worm burdens and provides ongoing protection as part of a regular parasite-management routine. This product is part of PURINA® broader parasite-control range and offers a convenient, palatable option for regular internal parasite prevention in dogs.
