The real question is, can the pill be cut in half because in the case of Heartgard Plus, the answer is no because the med is unevenly injected into the chew.
Hmmmm. So, even though they say .23mg/lb (for Interceptor), they are still overdosing w/ the 4/5th? (Bc Wy needs about 1.5mg of Interceptor, and the 1/2 pill is 1.15mg)

Very interesting. I'll stick w/ the whole pill for now, as I just don't think there is enough info. And I agree, ramifications of cutting the pill is unknown right now...
