HEARTWORM

Heartworms are the most life-threatening of the common canine parasites. They live in a dog's heart and surrounding blood vessels, and can cause heart disease and organ failure, which can lead to death. Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes, so any dog may be at risk.
 

Since there are often no early signs of heartworm disease, it is very important to have your family veterinarian examine and test your dog; a procedure that is both quick and easy.
 

Both SENTINEL® (milbemycin oxime/lufenuron) Flavor Tabs® and INTERCEPTOR® (milbemycin oxime) Flavor Tabs® protect your dog from this deadly parasite.
 

As with other heartworm preventives, dogs must be tested for heartworm prior to using either INTERCEPTOR Flavor Tabs or SENTINEL Flavor Tabs. In a small percentage of dogs treated with SENTINEL Flavor Tabs, digestive, neurologic and skin side effects may occur. In a small percentage of dogs treated with INTERCEPTOR Flavor Tabs, digestive and neurologic side effects may occur. Click HERE for full product information for INTERCEPTOR Flavor Tabs.
