Nuheart (Generic Heartgard) for Dogs – Monthly Heartworm Prevention Tablets
Nuheart (Generic Heartgard) for Dogs is a cost-effective monthly heartworm preventive designed to help protect dogs against heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis. Formulated with ivermectin, this easy-to-administer oral tablet works by eliminating the tissue larval stage of heartworms before they develop into adult worms. With its palatable meat flavour and convenient once-monthly dosing schedule, Nuheart offers a simple and reliable way to support your dog's long-term heartworm protection.
Coverage
- Heartworm disease prevention (Dirofilaria immitis)
- Targets heartworm larvae within 30 days of infection
How It Works
Nuheart contains ivermectin, an antiparasitic ingredient that eliminates the early larval stages of heartworms before they mature into adult worms. By interrupting the heartworm life cycle, monthly administration helps prevent heartworm disease and supports ongoing protection.
Directions
- Administer one tablet orally once every month.
- Give on the same date each month whenever possible.
- Place the tablet at the back of the dog's tongue and ensure it is swallowed.
- Alternatively, dissolve in a small amount of water or mix with food.
- Ensure the full dose is consumed.
- Continue monthly administration year-round as recommended.
