If your dog is only protected from heartworm disease， there’s a gap in their coverage. the gap with Interceptor Plus. Interceptor Plus also treats and controls four other major worms including adult roundworm， hookworm， whipworm and tapeworm infections in dogs and puppies. That’s protection against more types of worms than Heartgard Plus. Unlike Interceptor Plus， both Heartgard Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) and Simparica Trio (sarolaner， moxidectin， and pyrantel chewable tablets) do not cover tapeworm or whipworm.*
When untreated， intestinal worms can cause discomfort and fatigue with diarrhea， weight loss， anemia and more. That’s why Interceptor Plus makes dosing easy and convenient with 5-in-1 protection in a tasty， chicken-flavored chew. No need to hide pills in food-pockets. This chewable heartworm prevention goes down easy and keeps the protection going strong for 30 days. Check the product label for information on dosing and potential side effects.
Interceptor Plus heartworm prevention is only available by prescription. Dogs must be at least six weeks old and weigh 2 - 8 lbs. to use Interceptor Plus.
Never miss a monthly treatment when you subscribe to convenient， regular doorstep deliveries of 1-dose， 6-dose or 12-dose packs. Before starting any heartworm prevention program， it’s important for your veterinarian to test your dog for an existing heartworm infection. At your next visit， tell your veterinarian you want PLUS-level protection for your loyal pup so you can enjoy peace of mind in all of their favorite places – from the backyard to the dog park.
