| Does Interceptor have to be chewed? Ellie has been on Interceptor and the internet says they are chewable. If they are chewable, do they lose their effectiveness if swallowed whole? I always just put it her her throat and I'm wondering if she's been unprotected. I read in one spot online that they have to be chewed... Worried now...

| I had to give Scruffy Inceptor for about a year because he would vomit the other brand up every time. I was told by my Vet it was Ok to swallow it. I went to the Inceptor website - nothing stating not to swallow it. Call you vet after the Holidays to ask his opinion.

| Mine have always swallowed the pill whole. I just re-read the pamphlet in the box and it doesn't say anything about it needing to be chewed, just that you want to be sure they consume the entire pill.

| nope doesnt have to be chewed. the wormer ingridient comes in a paste version on its own and it just have to be ingested and absorbed. so im sure once the pill is in the tummy its all good. |
