Please note that in order to provide any and all members with Interceptor, you must be able to include in your payment verification from your veterinarian that your greyhound has been tested for heart worm within the past 2 years (and have your membership up-to-date). It's as simple as you calling your vet and requesting that they fax/mail to you this information!

Interceptor Flavor Tabs for dogs are a palatable once-a-month tablet that prevent heartworm disease, controls adult hookworm, and removes and controls adult roundworm and whipworm infections. Interceptor Flavor Tabs for cats are the only oral monthly preventative that protect against heartworms and remove adult roundworms and adult hookworms.

How it works: Interceptor Flavor Tabs eliminate the tissue stage of heartworm larvae and the adult stage of hookworm, roundworm, and whipworm infestations. The anthelmintic activity (destroying parasitic worms) of the active ingredient milbemycin oxime is believed to be a result of interfering with the invertebrate's neurotransmission.

Cautions: Side effects of Interceptor are rare, but some animals may show signs of depression, drowsiness, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, hypersalivation, seizures, and weakness. If these or other symptoms develop contact your veterinarian. Since humans can contract hookworm and roundworm from animals, you should maintain good personal hygiene. To prevent reinfection, cleaning up stool daily is recommended. Don't give your pet Interceptor if you are already administering another heartworm.
