Sentinel is a monthly pill that prevents heartworm and flea infestation. It also prevents and kills the parasites hookworm, roundworm and whipworm. Interceptor is the heartworm component of Sentinel.

Flea/Tick meds such as Frontline Plus and Advantage can kill your pets. After administering 1/2 dose of Frontline to my 4-lb. Yorkie, Gabby, she began running around and rolling trying to rub it off. I did some research (by entering in search "flea/tick meds") and pulled up a website that explained how toxic these meds were to pets and humans... including heartbreaking testimonials that pets had died within hours of receiving them. There is an alternative natural spray that is actually cedar oil that is effective and not toxic to pets or humans. Please don't poison your babies by putting insecticides into their systems. Do some research on this subject. You will be shocked at how dangerous these meds are.

I agree with MissGabby. I use Manuka oil.
