About Interceptor

Concerned about your pet’s care? Give your dog Interceptor Flavor Tabs, the dog medicine that prevents heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis, the control of adult Ancylostoma caninum (hookworm), and the removal and control of adult Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina (roundworms) and Trichuris vulpis (whipworm) infections.

You only have to give your dog Interceptor Flavor Tabs once a month, an advantage when it comes to your dog’s care. Interceptor Flavor Tabs can be given to dogs and puppies four weeks of age or greater, and two pounds body weight or greater.

Manufacturer

Novartis

Directions

Interceptor flavored tablets should be administered once a month year-round, or at least during and one month following mosquito season; animals that are traveling for the first time to heartworm-risk areas should begin treatment a month prior. Interceptor is available in flavored chewable tablets that should not be swallowed whole (and can be broken up to prevent such a thing from happening), and can be given directly into the pet’s mouth or together with food. Dosage is dependant on weight.

In dogs, the usual dose is:

  • 2-10 pounds is 2.3mg
  • 11-25 pounds is 5.75mg
  • 26-50 pounds is 11.5mg
  • 51-100 pounds is 23mg

In cats, the usual dose is:

  • 1.5-6 pounds is 5.75mg
  • 6.1-12 pounds is 11.5mg
  • 12.1-25 pounds is 23mg

Better than heartgua

I've been using this medication since my dogs were pups. The older male started out on heartguard however he breeder said that heartguard would not protect against whipworm. The vet wanted me to continue using heartguard. I will continue to use interceptor. I also have to disguise the pill in some tasty treat to get them to take it. Sometimes the male dog gets wise and tries to spit it out. It's still worth it!

Best for Heartworms

I have used Interceptor for years and never had a problem with heartworms, and we live in mosquito alley. Interceptor comes with a guarantee and hopefully I will never have to use it.

Execellent

It treats not only heartworm but ticks and mosquitos. I don't dislike anything except if it were less costly.

kills worms too

I switched to interceptor because my rotti got whipworms while on heartgard. (they get it from other dogs *walks in park) my vet then told me that interceptor protected him from those & heartgard didnot. I have to hide it in a tasty snack to give it to my dogs, but it's worth it for the protection. glad I switched.

Big Healthy Puppy!

Each time Maggie May goes to the vet, he's thrilled with how healthy she is! No worms... ever! Dr. Smith recommended Interceptor and I used to purchase it from him, but it's much cheaper on here.

Heartworm protection

Seems like a good product. Heartworms can be a life threatening problem. I'm afraid of drugs but this one seems to keep the heart worms at bay.

Great Value-Great Product

We have 2 very large dogs (130+lbs each), so medication can get very expensive. By purchasing a year supply of Interceptor from PetCareRX for both dogs, instead of at our local vet, we saved over $60.00. Our order was shipped out promptly, and we are very satisfied with the product.

Intercepter - Green

I have been using this product for 4 years now. I have tried other heartworm medications, but my fussy Shih Tzu would not take them. He loves his small Intercepter pill, and quickly eats it every month. He sometimes even sits up and "begs" for it!

Awesome

I have always used interceptor for my dogs. Although I lost my 13 year old poodle from old age, my two jack russells (one is 5 and the other just turned one) I have always had my dogs protected from killer worms (they have always tested negative.) I have always purchased from my vet but wanted to try you folks out and was very pleased with the service and quick delivery. You will see my orders from now on for interceptor and other products. Keep up the great work.
