The cost of treating Heartworm
Below is an example of the cost associated with treating heartworm ONE time. Certain medications that are used are based on weight, that is why the price is higher if the dog is bigger.
Below are products we carry here at Crossroads Animal Hospital.
For a 24lb dog, the total estimated treatment would cost approximately $1500 which is equivalent to:
22 years of protection with Heartgard Plus chew tabs given once a month
20 years of protection with ProHeart12 injections every 12 months
6 years of protection with Revolution topical treatment given once a month
For a 49lb dog, the total estimated treatment would cost approximately $1800 which is equivalent to:
20 years of protection with Heartgard Plus chew tabs given once a month
19 years of protection with ProHeart12 injections every 12 months
7 years of protection with Revolution topical treatment given once a month
For a 75lb dog, the total estimated treatment would cost approximately $1950 which is equivalent to:
