Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health USA Inc. has voluntarily recalled 14,830 cartons of Heartgard (ivermectin) chewables for dogs after testing revealed an impurity that was out of specification. This recall affects three specific product strengths: for dogs up to 25 lbs, 26-50 lbs, and 51-100 lbs. These products were distributed throughout the United States to veterinarians and retail channels. Consumers should check their pet's medication packaging for the specific batch numbers and expiration dates to determine if their product is affected.
The product contains an impurity level that does not meet approved quality standards, which could potentially impact the stability or efficacy of the heartworm preventative medication.
Return unused product for a refund.
