Nuheart, being a generic product of Heartgard Plus, is highly cost effective and pet parents may wonder that does the effectiveness of the product is the same due the price difference.<\/p>\n<p>To woosh away your little fears, here we have brought you the detailed information about the similarities and differences between Heartgard Plus and its generic form.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: center;\"><strong>Similarities between Heartgard Plus and Nuheart<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h3><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Heartgard Plus and Nuheart are both equally efficient in controlling heartworms, although there is a minor difference in their composition. Heartgard Plus contains <strong>Ivermectin and Pyrantel\u00a0<\/strong>, which effectively controls heartworms by preventing heartworm larvae from fully developing into adult heartworms, and Pyrantel, which prevents five kinds of intestinal worms.<\/p>\n<p>Nuheart, on the other hand, contains only <strong>Ivermectin<\/strong> and hence does not control intestinal worms.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Protection:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Developed with the exact ingredients, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vetsupply.com.au\/heartwormers\/heartgard-plus-chewables-for-dogs\/p1028.aspx?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=seo&amp;utm_campaign=HeartgardPlus-Nuheart\"><strong>Heartgard Plus Dog<\/strong><\/a> and its generic form Nuheart provides the same protection. They control heartworms, and treat roundworms and hookworms.<\/p>\n<p>Though classified as prescription products, these preventives can be bought from reliable online store.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pack Sizes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Both the products are available in the similar pack sizes to choose according to your dog size. The weight range of the different packs of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vetsupply.com.au\/heartwormers\/nuheart-for-dogs\/p1030.aspx?utm_source=seo&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=similaritiesbetwhgandnh\"><strong>Nuheart For Dogs<\/strong><\/a> is same as Heartgard Plus. They are available in the doses for dogs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Small Dogs Up To 11Kg<\/li>\n<li>Medium Dogs 12 To 22 Kg<\/li>\n<li>Large Dog 23 To 45 Kg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Guarantee<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The generic version and the brand product provide the same guarantee ensuring the <strong>total protection from heartworm diseases<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Administration <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Both the products are <strong>oral treatments<\/strong>. Nuheart and Heartgard Plus come in flavoured chews and hence they are easy to administer.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Treatment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Both these preventives need to be given <strong>monthly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>Differences between Heartgard Plus and Nuheart<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Form<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Heartgard comes in a <strong>soft, moist chew<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nuheart comes in <strong>tablet form<\/strong>, which when difficult for dogs to take, can be dissolved in small amount of water and added to the dog food.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flavour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nuheart are <strong>meat-flavoured tablets.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Heartgard Plus comes in <strong>beef-flavoured chewable tabs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to use<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The major difference of both the products is the way of administration. Heartgard Plus which is a chew form should not be swallowed as whole; you can either feed it as a treat or crush it and mix it with food.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, Nuheart need to be administered directly into the mouth or for difficult dogs, dissolve it in a small amount of water and add to dog food.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The generic <strong>Nuheart costs much lower than Heartgard Plus<\/strong>. Additionally, the prices can vary depending on the pack size according to your dog weight and the number of doses you purchase. By selecting generic version over brand product, you can <strong>save around 25-30% approximately.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Price is not always a factor to choose a treatment for your pet, sometimes; it is your pet\u2019s preference and your vet\u2019s advice. It is of no gain if you spend on generic treatment, which your pet is not ready to take. It is always on the good side for both your pet and you to choose the preventive which best suits and works for your dog and your budget. However, whatever product you choose, both provides the same protection and have the similar effectiveness in controlling heartworm disease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please Check Comparison Chart:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table class=\"BlogTableTrTd\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc !important;\" border=\"1\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center !important;\" colspan=\"3\" align=\"center\"><strong style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: x-large;\">Comparison Chart<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Heartgard Plus<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nuheart<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Version<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Brand<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Generic<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Protection <\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Heartworm disease &amp; intestinal infection<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Heartworm disease<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Administration<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Oral<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Oral<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ingredients <\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0Ivermectin and Pyrantel<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ivermectin<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Treats<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Heartworms, roundworms &amp; hookworms<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Heartworms<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Dosage Frequency<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Monthly<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Monthly<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Form<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Chewable tablet<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tablet<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Flavour<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Beef flavoured<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Meat flavoured<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: MIDDLE;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How to use<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: MIDDLE;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0Feed as a treat or crush and mix it with food<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: MIDDLE;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Administer directly into the mouth; for difficult dogs, dissolve it in a small amount of water and add to dog food.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prices<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Costly<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Affordable<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Pack Sizes<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Small Dogs Up To 11Kg<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Small Dogs Up To 11Kg<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Medium Dogs 12 To 22 Kg<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Medium Dogs 12 To 22 Kg<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Large Dog 23 To 45 Kg<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Large Dog 23 To 45 Kg<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color has-background has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vetsupply.com.au\/dog-heartwormers\/c108.aspx?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=seo&amp;utm_campaign=HeartgardPlus-Nuheart\"><strong>Buy Nuheart and Heartgard Plus Online at Best Price<br>Click Here!!!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to pet health, pet parents are always concerned to protect their furry pals from harmful heartworm infections and other dangerous diseases.
