| Do a search on here. Someone was talking about it just lately and I think they were saying it was very good.

| I use Interceptor for my babies. I even used it when I had my first dog years ago. I think it cost a little bit more than Heartguard but its worth it because it protects against other types of worms. I buy mine at 1800Petmeds and save alot of money. I've never had any problems. |

| Never had any problems I have only used Interceptor upon my vet's advice. In NJ, you can only get it with a prescription. Never had any problems. I put it in a little piece of cheese, and the boys love it; they think it's a treat! As another member said, it does kill several types of worms, and I feel confident giving it to my boys. Remember, not for pregnant Yorkie princesses.

| I use Interceptor for Schatzi, it protects against Heartworm, hookworm,roundworm, and whipworm...where I live in Illinois, my vet charges $22.00 for 6 months' worth. I don't know if that's a lot or not, but doesn't seem like too much to keep her healthy against 4 different kinds of worms. She eats the pill as is, she likes them!

| Roxy is on Interceptor for now with no problems. I am going to check with her new vet and see what he suggests. Doesn't Revolution take care of heartworms and fleas and all the rest? If so, that's only one med they have to take instead of the 2.
