Dog Heartworm Interceptor Is A Safe And
Effective Once-A-Month Treatment
Interceptor is a dog heartworm treatment that will help
keep your dog or cat safe. While some of the other products are only
good for use on dogs, Interceptor is packaged and marketed so that
it can be used on both dogs and cats. Interceptor is one of the once
monthly treatments, so you will only need to give this pill to your
pet once a month.
Interceptor is an effective way to prevent heartworm infestation,
and it will also prevent roundworms, hookworms and whipworms. As a
result, this is a good medication to use if you are worried about
more than just heartworms. However, this treatment is not effective
against tapeworms, so you will need tapeworm specific medicine.
You can buy Interceptor at most pet stores. The advantage of buying
online is that you will probably be able to find dog heartworm
Interceptor for cheaper than you would if you were only able to shop
in your immediate area. The other advantage is that you can save
time by ordering online, since the treatments will be delivered
directly to your home. You can also choose between a six and a
twelve month supply depending on your needs.
Most stores will require a prescription in order to sell
Interceptor. The reason for this is that most heartworm medicines
are at least partly toxic. While it is not common for serious side
effects to show up in dogs or cats, you should make sure that the
treatment is safe.
The other reason that Interceptor requires a prescription is that
even though the doses are labeled by the size of dog or cat it is
meant for, this is not exact. There have been noted differences
between different dog or cat breeds, so you should find out which
dose is best for your pet from your veterinarian.
Some dog breeds should not take Interceptor. One of the breeds that
should not take dog heartworm Interceptor is the collie. If you have
a collie and you live in an area with lots of mosquitoes, then you
should ask for the daily heartworm medication instead.
Even if you are using Interceptor to prevent heartworms, you should
have your dog tested for heartworms once a year.
