Better than Interceptor Plus
By marymcc on Mar 15, 2021
For some reason, my vet started carrying Interceptor Plus only, and I tried those HUGE pills on my 11.5 lb. dog. She acted sick for 2-3 days in Feb. after taking it. And in Jan. she had a seizure of unknown cause, and now I'm wondering if it was the Interceptor plus. The difference in the size of the pills is huge, and maybe it's the extra medicine in the Plus that's a problem...but she does FINE on the Interceptor, and I hope the company will continue to make this available and encourage vets to carry it as an option.

Heartbroken
By Pennylynn58 on Feb 21, 2021
While my dog Darla was on this product she developed heart worm. I gave it to her monthly and on time. So after she’s on a daily antibiotic for a month she’ll start treatment. The worst part is I switched her from heart guard to this brand because I thought this brand would be better. Plus I’m moving 500 miles away so I’ll start this journey with a new vet. It could’ve come at a worse time. Did she contract this while on Heart Guard or interceptor I can’t be sure but it stinks. I’m switching my other dog to Advantage multi because it covers fleas too and I lost faith in the other products.

Regular Interceptor.
By Tucker on Jan 13, 2021
Just what the doctor ordered for our Cavalier Tucker who has seizures and we think the Interceptor Plus gave him trouble. The Plus was too much for him.

Thank goodness I found the "NO" Plus Interceptor
By Beaglemama on Apr 27, 2020
Excellent product! I used this for years until Interceptor introduced the "Plus" version. Now my vet only carries the Plus version and my dogs cannot tolerate it. I have tried every heart worm medicine on the market and they all made my dogs sick - vomiting, diarrhea. Finally, I decided to check out Chewy.com and low and behold, I found my favorite heart worm medicine. I have given them their first dose without any problems whatsoever! Thank you Chewy and thank you Interceptor. Hallelujah!!!
