How long is oral heartworm medication in a dog?
24-48 hours. When a dose of heart worm prevention is given to a dog, it acts as a dewormer and kills off any of the possible larval stage that mosquitoes have transmitted to dogs. The medication is usually in and out of the dog system within 24 to 48 hours and does not stay in the dog’s body for 30 days. Heartworm prevention does not kill adult worms, it only kills the larval stages. This is why it is important to be given every 30 days, because within 30 to 45 days post exposure the larval can develop into juvenile adults, which of the prevention is not effective at killing.
