Does heartgard kill heartworms already inside dogs?

Heartgard only kills the microfillare, the immature stage of heartworms (or baby heartworms). It will not kill the adult heartworms that live in the heart. That is why it is very important to have your dog tested first by a Veterinarian for heartworms.


Will garlic kill heartworms in people?

I have never heard of humans getting heartworms, just dogs and cats & other mammals, but I do KNOW that GARLIC would not kill them. If a dog is infected, then the Vet would use an arsenic type of poison to get rid of the adult heartworms. I do believe they use something milder or different nowadays. If you have a dog or cat, best to have them checked first to make sure they are heartworm negative by your Veterinarian, then put them on a heartworm preventative once a month year around. Mosquitoes are the intermediate host, in other words they are the ones who pass on the heartworm from dog to dog or cat to cat.
