How To Give Your Dog Interceptor Plus
Interceptor Plus (milbemycin oxime/praziquantel) is a chewable tablet flavored with real chicken that you give to your dog once a month, every month. Its overall acceptability is 96.6%, which makes dosing easy.
You can give Interceptor Plus to your dog by hand or add it to a small amount of dog food. Administer the chewables in a manner that encourages your dog to chew, rather than to swallow without chewing. If your dog normally swallows treats whole, you may break the chewables into pieces and feed them to your dog.
Make sure that your dog consumes the complete dose, and observe your pet for a few minutes after administration to ensure that no part of the dose is lost or rejected. If you suspect that any of the dose has been lost, redosing is recommended.

Convenient!!!!
By Kady on Apr 9, 2021
I received an email that my order was going to be cancelled for the Interceptor because after trying several times to get verification on the medicine, Chewy was unable to get a response from the veterinarian. I contacted the veterinarian and after submitting the information requested, Chewy got the order right out. Being able to order the meds instead of going to the veterinarian's office and waiting in line is so much more convenient!

Sheltie Approved
By SheltieMom on Mar 29, 2021 top500Contributor
Interceptor Plus was recommended to me by a Sheltie Rescue that during the last 20 years has saved and re-homed over 700 doggies. Shelties are very sensitive to medications and they felt this was the best on the market. My Veterinarian approved! Has worked well for both Georgie and Maddy, my two rescues. Best prices on Chewy!

It's like cheap insurance
By Snowbelt on Mar 24, 2021
I give this to my dog year-round, so he only needs a heartworm test every two years. As a bonus, he loves them; they're a once-a-month treat. Chewy made the whole buying experience painless, at a cost considerably lower than my vet has to charge. I'll be back.

Very Satisfied
By LSOX1 on Mar 22, 2021
This was my first time to order from Chewy.com. I ordered medications for my two dogs. The process was easy and straightforward. Chewy contacted my Veterinarian, got the prescription, and filled it with no delay. Very satisfied.

Like a quick treat
By doxiemom on Mar 16, 2021
My dogs are picky & have to have a "pill" that is more like a treat or it doesn't get eaten. This is one of the few brands out there that they will eat & not hide or spit back out on the floor for me to find later.

A safe & effective, broad-range preventive.
By Hesher on Feb 28, 2021
My dog has been taking Interceptor Plus seasonally, for years. I would not switch to a questionable, though more convenient, all-in-one chewable, containing flea & tick. My dog takes K9 Advantix 2, about a week apart. Both preventives are reliable.
