Is anyone familiar with Interceptor Heartworm medication? That's what Garrett's vet gave us. It actually prevents more than just heartworm, it's a broad spectrum parasiticide and prevents and treats hookworm, roundworm and whipworm too.

I would love some feedback, I hate doing anything without my fellow YT'ers input

Interceptor is a good product for heartworms but Novartis added about 5 times more Milbemycin Oxime to it so they could make the claim that it kills other parasites. It is okay and Yorkies do well on it but it is more drug than what they need. Most preventatives are like that though.

We use it on Gizmo, and we've been very happy. I thought it would be a struggle to get him to take it, but he likes them.

Heartworms are a serious problem around here, so I'm very careful to use a preventative.

I just gave Leo this today, so far no problems. The vet said it was great for heartworm and other things.It was free with his starter puppy packet. I hope it works as well as I was told.. and he ate it no problem at all.

Since moving into an apartment from a house and there's lots of cats where I live that seem to be outside cats - - I switched from Heartgard to interceptor and saw no changes in my girls - I didn't want to give the extra medication but I'd rather be safe than sorry

Winston has no problems with it...and he must like the taste...he thinks it's a treat!!!

We use interceptor also - no problems on our end.

We also use interceptor and we've never had any problems.

That is what my vet gives his small dogs...Lulu did well on it and Zoey is now on it. He told me he found that the small guys don't have bad reactions to it.
