Interceptor Heartworm Meds
There are many preventative heartworm medications available for both dogs and cats. One of the leading brands is Interceptor. They produce 'Flavor Tabs' which the makers advise are loved by 95% of dogs! They are given as a meaty beef flavoured treat to dogs on a monthly basis to prevent heartworm disease, hookworm, roundworm and whipworm.
This heartworm med uses Milbemyclin Oxine to destroy any worms which have presented themselves during the 30 days prior to treatment. This means Interceptor should be first used within 30 days of the dogs first exposure to mosquitoes. Prior to commencing preventative treatment the dog should be given a blood test by your vet to confirm he or she is not already suffering from the disease.
Interceptor Heartworm Pills have been used worldwide for over 14 years. Produced by Novartis they are governed by the FDA. These heartworm meds are suitable for dogs of all sizes. Coming in four different doses ranging from dogs of 2lb to 100lb. Dogs larger than this will need a combination of tabs equivalent to their weight.
