Sentinel Vs Interceptor

[wishbone]

hey guys.....i just wondering if anyone can shed some light on the differences of sentinel spectrum and interceptor spectrum. I know they are both produced by Norvatis, but i only stumbled across it recently when i was purchasing meds for my lil fella....im currently using a combination of sentinel spectrum and advantix...i want the best protection for my lil guy.....bt it does seem to be quite costly (100+ for 6mnths) and as a full time student i have to pick up a few jobs....but that being said i rather work a lil harder just to make sure he gets the best!! so the main question is what if use both interceptor and advantix?? will that give him max protection from those nasty lil bugs?

Thanks in advance!

Senitnel does fleas too!

You are doubling up on the flea medication. If you need the tick prevention I would use Advantix and Interceptor, if you dont need tick prevention then just use sentinel and ditch the advantix.

I use interceptor because I also need something for ticks. Interceptor doesnt have the flea prevention stuff in it so that you can use it with another product like advantix, frontline etc.

thanx guys....so interceptor doesnt do fleas bt does ticks...while sentinel does fleas and not ticks??? i bought sentinel this time around because its nearly double the price of interceptor, so i thought its got to be good.....y is sentinel dearer than interceptor?

thanks again!!

no, sentinel does intestinal worms, heartworm and fleas. Ticks are NOT covered at all.

Interceptor does intestinal worms and heart worm.

Advantix does ticks and fleas.

If you don't need tick coverage, just use sentinel on its own.

If you DO need tick coverage, use Interceptor + advantix.

Using sentinel + advantix doubles up on flea meds - not good for long term use.
