HWF (formerly Heartworm Free) for canine heartworm prevention is a natural organic herbal remedy which helps dogs fight heartworm aka dirofilariasis imminitis and used preventatively it has shown to be excellent for prevention of heartworm.
HWF (aka HeartWorm Free) was studied for use as a heartworm preventative for 4 years, before being sold as a heartworm preventative. ALL of the dogs in the test studies tested negative for heartworm every month while using the HWF preventatively for heartworm.
HWF is made without Wormwood and Black Walnut. Wormwood has been known to depress the central nervous system and can cause mind-altering changes leading to psychosis when used over long periods of time (usually months). Black Walnut was found to be a high allergen causing hives and other types of allergies. With this information, Amber Tech developed HWF that (in the long run) may be more beneficial to your dog for heartworm prevention.

Maintenance (Preventative Use) ~ Before beginning using HWF as a preventative have your canine tested for heartworms. If your dog tests negative, then you may begin using HWF preventatively.
Directions: Shake well, use the supplied syringe. Select proper dosage from chart above; give 1 time daily for 7 days, repeat one week on and one week off, continually. If you normally do not use heartworm preventatives year-round, you may use the same schedule as you normally would for your area. Be sure and have your pet tested for heartworms before beginning of the "season."
*Note: It is advised to give 20-30 minutes before food. If you find that you pup gets an upset stomach from the HWF on an empty stomach, you may feed a small amount of food before administering. If you have a pet that is extremely difficult to dose, have a yummy treat ready to give immediately after administering the HWF, eventually they may equate the HWF dose with something yummy, a readily take the HWF. If this does not work, you may mix the HWF in a small amount of beef or chicken broth, tuna water or a small amount of food, only enough that the pup will ingest in its entirety and not walk away from, you want to make sure that they get the entire dose. Best usage is without food.
*Note: Although many of the Amber Technology products are safe for puppies, the manufacturer advises that HWF preventative use not be started until the puppy can be tested for heartworms (usually 6 - 7 months of age). When bitten by an infected mosquito, it takes 6 months for the antigen to show in the blood work. If you do start the preventative dosing before this be sure and have the puppy tested at 6 months and then again at 1 year.

Suggested Products for Basic Detox:
- Vibactra Plus ~ Helps support the body's immune system. Click here for more information on Wolbachia Bacteria.
- Kidney Rejuvenator (optional) ~ Helps support the kidneys while eliminating the unwanted contaminates
- Hawthorn & Dandelion (optional) ~ Helps support the heart.
- Life Cell Support ~ Helps support the liver during the end process of the detox.
Step 1: Start the Vibactra Plus 4x daily for 30 days. After the 30 days, discontinue use.
Step 2: After you have discontinued the Vibactra Plus, start the HWF Basic Detox for 16 weeks. (If using Kidney Rejuvenator and/or Hawthorn & Dandelion, start now.) Shake well. For best results, it is advised to give HWF 1/2 hour before feeding, this way the worms feed off of the HWF without any other nutrients.* HWF is given twice daily, according to dog's weight, see chart above (once in the morning and once in the evening). After administering HWF for 9 weeks, your dog needs to be tested for live microfilaria. If your dog tests negative for live microfilaria, continue the HWF for 7 more weeks, same dosage, twice daily; total of 16 weeks detox, then proceed to Step 3. (If your dog tested positive for live microfilaria, please see the Premium Detox instructions.)
Step 3: For Basic Detox, after 16 weeks total, administer 1/2 dose of HWF, once daily (example: if your dog's dosage has been 1.0 ml twice daily, cut to 0.5 ml once daily). Administer this dose for 8 weeks. At the end of the 8 weeks, add the Life Cell Support, administering at the recommended dosage for your pet, once a day (preferably at night) AND the 1/2 dose of HWF once daily (preferably in the morning). Continue administering the two products for 4 weeks. At the end of this 4 week period, please take your canine for testing, at this point all dead heartworms should be flushed from the system, your dog should now be Heartworm Free. Now is the time to put your pup on a preventative program. If you would like to continue using HWF as a preventative, please see the maintenance (preventative) protocol above. Note: If your canine is pregnant, during pregnancy give half doses of HWF; after giving birth they can be given full dose. This may require an extra month of treatment at the full dose.

Step 1: IF your dog tested high positive for heartworms, start the Vibactra Plus 4x daily for 30 days. After the 30 days, discontinue use. (For dogs that have started with the Basic Detox skip this step.)
Start by giving amount per weight (see chart above) 2 times daily (once in the morning and again in the evening), increase the amount given by 0.1 ml every other day until amount given is doubled. Once the dosage is doubled start Step 2. (If you have been using Hawthorn & Dandelion and/or Kidney Rejuvenator, continue using these products at their normal dosage).

Step 2: Administer the doubled dosage of HWF twice daily, After administering the double dose of HWF for 9 weeks, your dog needs to be tested for live microfilaria.

(If your dog is still testing positive for the live microfilaria, please call us).
Step 3: For Premium Detox, after 16 weeks of the double dosage, administer 1/2 dose of HWF, once daily (example: if your dog's dosage has been 1.0 ml twice daily, cut to 0.5 ml once daily). Administer this dose for 8 weeks. At the end of the 8 weeks, add the Life Cell Support, administering at the recommended dosage for your pet, once a day (preferably at night) AND the 1/2 dose of HWF once daily (preferably in the morning). Continue administering the two products for 4 weeks.

SUGGESTIONS WHEN TREATING MORE THAN ONE PET:
AMBER GLASS BOTTLES & SYRINGES ~ If you have more than one pet that you are treating, you might want to consider purchasing one or more amber glass 1/2 oz., 1 oz., or 4 oz. dropper bottles, so you can split up the tincture into a smaller bottle. That way there is less chance of product contamination.
In addition, when treating more than one pet, it may be necessary to assure sterile administration without carry over from pet to pet. This is very important when using Paxxin to treat some pups and using as a preventative for others. The best way to assure this is to use the dropper only to transfer product to an individual sterile oral syringe, using a different syringe for each pet. (This method will also reduce the chances of product contamination.) Those syringes should be sterilized after each use. Each pet should have its own syringe that is not shared with another pet.
The use of a syringe containing measured drops from the dropper will also remove the risk of the animal biting the glass dropper.
SYRINGES ~ these are luer slip syringes without needles that are excellent for administering measured amounts of Parvaid, CS, tinctures, etc. Reinforced tip, large finger grips, smooth draw and easy-to-read graduations. Rubber plunger with double contact for a positive seal and effortless injection. FDA approved and autoclavable.
If purchasing for use with Paxxin (aka Parvaid), syringe size needed is based on the weight of the puppy. We suggest two syringes, one for oral doses and one for enema doses (if not being given Sub Q fluids or on IV's, enemas are or may be necessary to prevent dehydration). Make sure to mark the enema syringe clearly, as you never want to accidentally use an enema syringe for an oral dose, even after it's been washed, as you can reinfect a puppy with parvo.
Puppies/kittens weighing under 3 pounds need 5 to 6 ml syringes. Animals weighing 3-10 pounds need 12 ml syringes. Puppies weighing 11-20 pounds need 20 ml syringes. Puppies weighing 21-40 pounds need 50 ml syringes. Puppies 41-50 pounds need 60 ml syringes.
SYRINGE ~ 5 ml ~ $.85
SYRINGE ~ 6 ml ~ $1.00
SYRINGE ~ 12 ml ~ $1.75
SYRINGE ~ 20 ml ~ $2.50
SYRINGE ~ 60 ml ~ $3.25
AMBER GLASS BOTTLES ~ These are terrific for storing dried herbs, tinctures, colloidal silver, etc. All are boston rounds and have black plastic phenolic lids, unless noted. The misters are fabulous and deliver a very light and delicate mist. Excellent for misting the face or for animals who are shy of sprayers. The cute little 1/2 oz. droppers are perfect for splitting 1 oz. tincture bottles into two separate bottles.
