With the American Heartworm Society having stated that they believe that Dog owners should give a treatment for heartworms every month of the year it comes as no surprise that many owners are now looking for a cheap heartworm pill.
One fo the best ways to easily afford to give a monthly pill is by using generic heartworm pills. A generic pill for treating heartworms is extremely cost effective. You can actually buy a six month supply for well under$20 making it very affordable.
Generics are of the same high quality as other heartworm medicines and you can buy many without a prescription. You can buy heartgard without prescription and although this is a low price it is still not as cheap as the generics. Valuheart is probably the best generic and it actually contains the same active ingredient (Ivermectin) as heartgard does.
What you do not get is such fancy packaging and you will not get it in a flavored form but this is simple to overcome by mixing the tablet in a tasty treat for the Dogs. Many Dogs will simply take a pill and eat it anyway but if you have problems then simply add to a treat.
For anyone on a budget or not wishing to spend much on pet meds like heartgard plus for Dogs then using a generic is the perfect answer. What you will find, and this is what more and more people are now doing, is that it is easier and cheaper to give a generic pill every month of the year. Why?
Because if you only treat for heartworms for six months of the year then your Dog will have to be tested by a vet before it can resume the course. This means that you have to pay a substantial amount for the testing. For $17 you could have given a monthly pill for those six months and this is much cheaper than actually having the test done. It also gives owners complete peace of mind knowing that there is no chance of the Dog becoming infected by a contaminated mosquito.
With mosquitoes becoming much more prevalent in many areas it is hardly worth the risk for the sake of what is only a few dollars. Use a generic heartworm pill like Valuheart, Nuheart or Proheart and you can rest assured that there is no chance of your animal having to have expensive treatment if adult worms have begun to develop.
