Valuheart for Dogs is a veterinarian-strength preventative that delivers essential heartworm protection in a simple monthly dose. Equivalent to Heartgard — one of the world’s most trusted names in heartworm health — Valuheart protects your dog against heartworm disease without the need for a prescription.
Available in three weight-based pack sizes, Valuheart is an Australian-made solution designed for owners who want professional-grade protection at a practical price point. Each pack is colour-coded for easy identification, ensuring your dog receives the exact therapeutic dose needed to stay healthy year-round.
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.
✔ Heartworm Disease (Prevents the development of Dirofilaria immitis larvae)
✔ Monthly Routine (Provides 30 days of continuous internal protection)
✔ High Efficacy (Uses Ivermectin to target heartworm tissue stages)
At Smartway Pet Supplies, we provide access to the genuine Valuheart range in color-coded weight brackets. By sourcing directly from reputable Australian suppliers, we offer "direct-to-door" value for dog owners in the USA and Canada.

Smartway Pet Supplies only stocks 100% genuine, brand-name items in original manufacturer packaging. Valuheart is an ideal choice for households looking for a straightforward heartworm routine without the added cost of branded chewables.
Valuheart is formulated with Ivermectin, the same active ingredient found in Heartgard, but at a significantly more accessible price point.
Australian Made: Manufactured to high regulatory standards, ensuring quality and safety for your pet.
No RX Required: Access veterinarian-recommended heartworm prevention without a clinic visit or physical prescription.
Cost-Effective: Focuses purely on heartworm prevention, making it the perfect partner for a separate flea and tick treatment.
Proven Ingredients: Uses the industry-standard active ingredient to eliminate heartworm larvae before they can reach the heart.
Pro Tip: If your dog is over 88 lbs (40kg), you can safely combine tablets to reach their specific weight. Always ensure you dose for the full weight of the dog to maintain 100% efficacy!
Valuheart is a monthly tablet designed for easy administration. For best results, consider the following:
Application: Tablets can be administered directly by mouth or hidden in a small amount of your dog’s favorite food.
Routine: Consistency is the key to preventing heartworm disease. Valuheart must be given once every month on the same date.
Compatibility: Valuheart can be safely used alongside other treatments, such as NexGard or Bravecto, for complete flea and tick coverage.
STRICT WARNING: Certain herding breeds (including Collies, Shelties, and Australian Shepherds) can be sensitive to Ivermectin due to the MDR1 gene mutation. While Valuheart uses a low preventative dose, consult your veterinarian before use if your dog belongs to one of these breeds. Additionally, always test for existing heartworm infection before starting any new preventative.
Not every dog owner needs an all-in-one product. Here is a quick comparison:
| Feature | Valuheart | All-in-One (e.g. Simparica Trio) |
|---|---|---|
| Heartworm Prevention | ✅ | ✅ |
| Flea & Tick Control | ❌ | ✅ |

Budget-Friendly: Offers a lower-cost alternative to multi-parasite chews while still providing 100% heartworm prevention.
Exceptional Safety: Safe for use in puppies from 6 weeks of age and suitable for all breeds (when used at the recommended dose).
Focused Formula: Ideal for owners who prefer to manage heartworm separately from flea and tick care.
Valuheart contains Ivermectin, which eliminates immature heartworm larvae transmitted by mosquitoes before they can develop into adult worms. It is a heartworm-only product, making it ideal for those already using a separate flea/tick treatment.
