They carry heartguard and mentioned trifexis is a new one they carry.

First off, is trifexis a pill? And is heartguard only available in chewable form?

I feel like i'd prefer heartguard (as the trifexis also protects against fleas - and we really don't have a flea problem, one less chemical we need). But jackson will not take chewables as a treat... So is it a no-no to mash it all up and mix it in his food possibly? Or would it be better to wrap it in some cheese or something (like how i give him pills) and hold his mouth closed until he chews/swallows.

Suggestions?

well , imo if he does not like treats you would be better off to get a pill form.
The heartguard would be too big to wrap in something i think
