Valuheart for Dogs is an affordable, monthly oral heartworm preventive designed to provide simple and effective protection against heartworm disease. Formulated with ivermectin, the same trusted active ingredient used in leading brands, it works by eliminating the tissue stage of heartworm larvae (Dirofilaria immitis) within 30 days of infection. Suitable for dogs and puppies from 6 weeks of age, Valuheart offers reliable protection without compromising on safety, making it a cost-effective option for long-term parasite control.
Valuheart contains ivermectin, which targets and eliminates the early larval stages of heartworms before they can develop into adult worms. By interrupting the lifecycle within the first 30 days of infection, it helps prevent heartworm disease. While it is not effective against adult heartworms, regular monthly use may help reduce circulating microfilariae levels and support ongoing protection.
Your veterinarian can help determine the correct dosage based on your dog’s weight and health status.
