Typical costs: 1  The cost of treating dogs with heartworm usually runs around $1,000, but can be $500-$1,100 or more depending on the size of the dog and the stage of the disease.
Last year we had a rescue dog test positive for heartworms. We went through one treatment, and had her re-tested, and she was still positive. She went though a second treatment, we waited, retested her and she was finally negative. It took 12 full months, and just over $1000, but she's healthy now. I'm in Minnesota.
