Valuheart for Dogs is a monthly heartworm prevention tablet that offers a simple, no-fuss approach to one of the most important parts of your dog's health routine. At Smartway Pet Supplies, you can buy Valuheart without a vet prescription, with fast shipping to the USA and Canada.
If your dog is already covered for fleas and ticks with a separate product and you just need reliable monthly heartworm prevention, Valuheart is one of the most straightforward options available. One tablet, once a month, matched to your dog's weight.
What Is Valuheart and How Does It Work?
Valuheart contains Ivermectin as its active ingredient. After administration, Ivermectin works by eliminating immature heartworm larvae (microfilariae) that have been transmitted to your dog through mosquito bites, before they can develop into adult worms and reach the heart.
Heartworm disease is caused by Dirofilaria immitis, a parasitic worm spread exclusively by mosquitoes. Once adult worms establish in the heart and pulmonary arteries, treatment becomes complex and costly. Consistent monthly prevention with a product like Valuheart is by far the most practical way to protect your dog.
Valuheart is a heartworm-only product — it does not cover fleas, ticks, or intestinal worms. This makes it ideal for dog owners who already use a separate flea and tick treatment and want a cost-effective dedicated heartworm tablet to complete their monthly routine.

How to Give Valuheart to Your Dog
Valuheart tablets are given orally once every 30 days. The tablet can be offered directly, hidden in food, or given with a treat to make administration easier. For best results, give on the same date each month to maintain consistent protection.
Heartworm prevention only works when doses are given consistently. A missed or late dose can leave a gap in protection, particularly in regions where mosquito activity is high year-round.
Important Safety Information
Suitable for:
- Dogs and puppies from 6 weeks of age and older
- Must be matched to the correct weight range — never use a size above your dog's body weight
Ivermectin sensitivity in certain breeds:
Some dog breeds carrying the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene mutation — including Collies, Shelties, Australian Shepherds, and related herding breeds — can be sensitive to Ivermectin at higher doses. Valuheart is formulated at a low preventative dose, but if your dog is a herding breed or a known MDR1-positive dog, consult your veterinarian before use.
General caution:
- For use in dogs only
- Do not use in sick, debilitated, or underweight animals without veterinary guidance
- If adverse reactions occur after dosing, contact your veterinarian promptly
- Dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection before starting any preventative treatment
