It's nasty to see but a reality what mosquitoes can do to them. This is the ONLY reason I use Interceptor, not for the wormer in it, it's for the heart worm protection in it.
We start our puppies on it at age 8 weeks old and they must be at least 2lbs in weight. This what our Vet recomends. I wait about a week after their shots to start them on it.
Now keep in mind this is just us here for our Yorkies, others may not agree with us using this. If not can I ask why and what do U use to prevent heart worms in U're Yorkies due to mosquitoes? And why do U use this product? I'd also like to learn more on this too.
I did a search on Interceptor and found this site on it and it sounds pretty informative. And it does have it's pros and cons just like about anything else out there. I hope this may help U some. http://www.interceptor.novartis.us/dog/en/label.shtml |
