- It contains the same ingredient at the same dose rate as the Heartgard brand of heartworm prevention medication.
- Offers easier dosing and less rejection.
Product Detail: Generic Heartgard (Ivermectin)
Nuheart Generic Heartgard Alternative is a monthly treatment for the prevention of heartworm in canines. This generic medication contains the same ingredient at the same dose rate as the Heartgard brand of Heartworm prevention medication, so it has just the same effectiveness, but costs a fraction of the price.
Nuheart makes dosing easy! The tablets are very small in size, across the entire range, which ensures easier dosing and less rejection. And Nuheart’s sweetly meat flavoured base is attractive to dogs and makes "tablet time" simple. For difficult dogs, Nuheart can even be dissolved quickly in a small amount of water and mixed in the pet’s food, so they won’t even know they’ve had their medication.
Warnings, Side Effects and Drug Interactions: Adverse reactions may occur when dogs already infested with adult heartworm or microfilariae are treated with Nuheart tablets. It is important to check the dog for such infestations prior to treatment.Nuheart tablets have a wide margin of safety in most dogs, but some adverse reactions may occur especially in Collies and Border Collies. If a dog develops untoward effects a veterinarian should be consulted immediately.
Dosage and Administration: Treatment should occur regularly at monthly intervals. Give the dog one tablet once a month on the same day or within a few days of the same day. If a tablet is missed in a month the prevention program may not be effective and a veterinarian should be consulted.
Give tablet by placing it on back of dog’s tongue and pushing it down throat with finger. Alternatively, tablet can be dissolved in 5 to 10 mL warm water or other fluid and added to the dog’s feed. Ensure entire dose is consumed; if it is not, give another tablet.
If a tablet is missed by not more than seven days give a tablet immediately and resume the monthly dosing program. If more than seven days has elapsed, consult your veterinarian for advice.
Each tablet contains: ivermectin
Storage: Store below 30 deg. C (room temperature). Protect from light.

Generic Heartgard
This product is so much more affordable than most and works just fine. No heartworms here!
Best Heartworm purchase you'll ever make!
The savings on buying this product are amazing and the size of the pill is perfect as dogs never notice it. I just purchased two boxes of this product and total cost including shipping was what I had been spending for just one box of name brand.
Cheapest heartguard around
I have used this heartworm preventative for years. Have never had any problems with side effects or heartworms. My old girl was 15.5 and she never did have heartworms. Would highly recommend. And Joe's is fast shipping on all the products that I order.
Value
Real easy choice to make. Best value, gets the job done.
Great Price
I was greatly impressed with the price of this product. Love generics. So far my order has not arrived but hopefully soon.
Heartworm
I have used this product for years. It is not available in the US, but every bit as effective as the products here and a third of the cost. Thank you for making this available to us!
Just like the brands
I have been using generic Heartgard on both of my dogs for about 5 years now, and it works great. You simply cannot beat the price, it's well worth the savings.
Generic Heartgard
I was skeptical about using a generic heartworm product but so far, so good. My dogs have tolerated it well and their last tests were negative. I wish it was in a big meaty chunk like heartguard, instead of a small meaty pill, but otherwise, I am pleased.
Great product!
Great price and great product. My dogs have been using it for years!
