Shelby (he's a him...named after my daddy lol) does ok on Trifexis. It works well, but the last time I gave it to him, he threw up later..like the next morning. So, I'm sticking with it and just going to make sure his tummy isn't empty. I gave it to him last night with food and he's been fine.

The only problem is, he is 72 lbs so the dosage he gets ..well, it comes in a huge biscuit type pill. He won't eat it without being tricked. I've always had to wrap it in cheese (mold and shape the cheese around it). However, I have to break it up in a few pieces with a knife (too thick to break with my hands) because it is so big..no way he can just swallow that and he won't chew.

He's only been on Trifexis since Interceptor went away. I didn't have as hard of a time with Interceptor but I still had to hide it in cheese. (he is a hearding breed so he can't take heartguard)
