I only pay like $55 for 12 months of Interceptor. It covers more parasites than ivermectin/pyrantel (there is nothing wrong with iver/pyr products by any means, but we all have our preferences). This could be important for a dog who is outside a lot, esp. if fecals aren't done often.

It's really up to you.
