Chewy Pharmacy Needs Improvement
By Onesie on Sep 1, 2020
Not familiar with this product cause this is not the product that I ordered nor the product my prescription states.

Used this product for years
By Dogwalker on May 4, 2020
I have Border Collies and I'm just not comfortable giving them Heartgard. Plus, Interceptor also deworms for whipworms. I also don't want to give a heartworm prevention with an insect growth regulator when they already are treated with an adulticide. Less chemicals is always better.

Only pills for my dog
By Opinion02122 on Feb 24, 2020 Top 1000 Contributor
Mr. Fussy won't eat the chewables, so I need these pills. I have to wrap them in cheese and force them down his throat. You can't do that with the chewables. And I like Interceptor better than other brands.

I was prepared for a fight!
By Booneshoes on Nov 7, 2019
I decided to try this for my 2 one year old cats. I was fully prepared to burrito them and shoved the pills down their throat and hopefully walk away with minor scratches. To my amazement, they both took the pills like they were just another treat! I was stunned and very pleasantly surprised! They can be pretty picky eaters, which made it even better!

Pet Medication via Chewy, thumbs up!
By Fanny59 on Jul 15, 2019
This was the first time I ordered prescription medication online. (And I threw out my coupon from Chewy, darn!!) Once I figured out the procedure, it was easy and very convenient. This med isn’t carried by my Vet office any longer but Chewy has it. I used the option of Chewy calling my Vet for the script but I did let the Vet know Chewy would be contacting them. You just place the order and they take care of the rest! Another thumbs up for Chewy!!

dissolves well
By favorite on Jul 7, 2019
I have 5 cats and 3 of them don’t like the chews (even if I try to hide them in food). So, this product works better because it dissolves well in the soft cat food.
