Nuheart Generic Heartgard for Large Dogs is specially formulated for dogs weighing 51–100 lbs, providing convenient monthly protection against heartworm disease.

As a cost-effective alternative to branded heartworm preventives, Nuheart offers reliable protection for large dogs while helping support their long-term health and wellbeing.
