Great Service
By PKGBellingham on Mar 12, 2021
Marlin's Vet has prescribed this since he was a puppy so decided to try the purchase thru Chewy. They obtained the Vets written prescription and filled the order promptly.

great item
By kitkat on Feb 5, 2021
I find the Interceptor heartworm tablets to be very effective, and since they are chewable, my dog just "gobbles" them down for his monthly dose.

so far so good
By 1234 on Aug 10, 2020
Chewy is always reliable and ships fast. I opted out to buy from chewy than from my vet because of it. My dog had no side effects from this med. Switched to it this time as she developed hot spots after proheart-6 injection. So far so good. Seems to tolerate well.

Worm Prevention Medication
By KP1111 on Aug 10, 2020
I normally purchase this from my vet, but the Chewy price was better. It took a couple of days longer to arrive than the rest of my order, but it was no a hardship.

The only treatment I will use for my dog.
By Erica on May 5, 2020
This is the only heart worm treatment that I will use. I had to try a different one a few years ago when this was not available and my dog was sensitive to it. I also do not like the treatments that last for months at a time. My dog is least sensitive to this and I am more comfortable with a month to month treatment. I used this with my last dog and my current 14 year old pup.

Interceptor for heart worm control
By spankysranch on Apr 2, 2020
My dog had an unfavorable reaction to Heartguard, so the vet suggested Interceptor which has different ingredients. Yeah, all went well, no reaction.
