About Interceptor
Concerned about your pet’s care? Give your dog Interceptor Flavor Tabs, the dog medicine that prevents heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis, the control of adult Ancylostoma caninum (hookworm), and the removal and control of adult Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina (roundworms) and Trichuris vulpis (whipworm) infections.
You only have to give your dog Interceptor Flavor Tabs once a month, an advantage when it comes to your dog’s care. Interceptor Flavor Tabs can be given to dogs and puppies four weeks of age or greater, and two pounds body weight or greater.
