| Interceptor Production Halted - Now What? I'm due to pick up some heartworm meds for my lil' guy and I read that Interceptor production has halted. I noticed that a lot of people on the forums use Interceptor so I'm wondering what everyone else is planning on doing now that it's going to stop being produced for who knows how long? My vet said they are going to be switching everyone over to Trifexis but I didn't like the reviews I read on that one. Anyone have any suggestions? |

| I'm crossing my fingers that production resumes before the end of the year and that we won't have to change. Grrr.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I've read that many people are stocking up on it, although it seems like it would be unsafe to use if the expiration date had passed.

| WHY have they halted production? Before I stocked up on it, I would want to know why they did that! Sentinel is my drug of choice for my adults....my babies all go to new homes on puppy Revolution, just because I do not like giving little ones the chemicals in the oral heartworm meds. |

| Both Chase and Calvin are on Trifexis, and are doing great. We used Sentinel on Chase up until last year when he started getting the Trifexis. Calvin was on Sentinel up until yesterday when he got his first Trifexis. |

| My vet has a website so I send this info to them, I hope I can still get a 6 pack for Prissy and then when they are done I will put them on something else.
