My dog is on Tri-heart Plus (Ivermectin/Pyrantel) for monrhly heart worm prevention, but has hookworms. Can I administer Sentry Worm X Plus (pyrantel pamoate and praziquantel) on top of the Tri-heart to rid of the hookworms?

Yes this should be fine and shouldn't cause him any harm. I just wouldn't give them on the same day. You will need to deworm today and repeat it in 3 weeks to help get ride of the hookworms. I would then have your vet check a stool lsample to ensure they are gone. I hope this helps!
