I have also used revolution on dd before and this covers this right? |
Intercpetor and Sentinel are made by the same company (Novartis. They are the same drug (milbemycin oxime). However, Sentinels has an extra ingredient (lufenuron). It is a chitin inhibitor and stops fleas from reproducing. If you want less drugs, then go with Interceptor. Heartgard is a very good drug also. I would never ever trust Ellie health to Revolution's ability to prevent heartworms. More and more vets are realizing that it is not nearly as good at protection.
Heartworm is just too serious. I'd rather medicate for it then have to treat later (preferred treatment is injections of an arsenic compound deep into the back muscles...no thank you or slow kill with Heartgard).
