Anyone living in an area affected by heartworms should have their dog on some type of heartworm preventative medication, just as you would use a flea and/or tick control product for your dog for those parasites that you can see.

Interceptor, by Novartis, eliminates the tissue state of the heartworm larvae. It also works by killing the adult stage of intestinal worms.

Novartis makes Interceptor heartworm prevention medication available worldwide, however their website is only directed towards the United States.

If you select the option of non-US residents, a disclaimer pops up to say that any other site which sells Interceptor heartworm medication for dogs and cats is not under the control of the parent company and therefore Novartis cannot take responsibility for the content or conduct of the site.

Therefore, you should use the main United States website for the information that you need on Interceptor.

The website also offers a monthly email reminder service to alert pet owners to the fact it's time to use Interceptor for dogs or cats again.

When you purchase Interceptor for your dog, you are selecting an effective heartworm preventative medication that will also provide the added benefit of controlling roundworms, hookworms and whipworms in your dog.

As Interceptor only protects against internal parasites, you will need to purchase additional products to prevent fleas and ticks on your pet. You may want to try Advantage flea control medication or Frontline for fleas and ticks. Revolution is another good option as it works for heartworms, fleas, ticks, some intestinal worms and mites and mange.
