Does Valuheart treat existing heartworms?
No, Valuheart is not indicated for the treatment of heartworms. It is a heartworm prevention treatment only.
What is the best way to administer Valuheart for dogs?
Valuheart monthly heartworm tablets can be given with food or without food. Repeat the dosing every month, preferably on the same date.
Is Valuheart safe for dogs?
Yes. Valuheart contains ivermectin. Valuheart has a wide safety margin for all dogs, including stud dogs, breeding bitches (including pregnant and lactating dogs), and puppies over 6 weeks of age.
My dog only weighs 4.5 kg (approx. 10 lbs). Can I cut the small dog tablet in half, or do I need to give the full tablet?
Yes, you can safely cut the tablet in half if required. Valuheart has been formulated so that the active ingredient, ivermectin, is evenly distributed throughout the tablet.
Should I have my dog tested for heartworms regularly?
Although your dog may be on a heartworm preventative, it is advisable to have them tested periodically to maintain your dog's health.
Does Valuheart treat intestinal worms?
No, Valuheart only prevents heartworm disease in dogs by eliminating the parasite during the developmental stage in the muscle and fatty tissue. Valuheart does not treat intestinal worms.
What is the difference between Valuheart and a chewable heartworm prevention?
Chewable treatments are designed to give your dog a tasty snack while providing heartworm prevention at the same time. However, some manufacturers of chewable formulas recommend that the dog must chew the treat thoroughly and not swallow it whole. Valuheart, whether ingested broken or whole, is absorbed in the stomach, releasing the full dose of the active ingredient.
Where can I buy Valuheart for Dogs?
You can buy Valuheart online from pet supplies stores like CanadaVetExpress or from your veterinarian.
