Sentinel Spectrum Or Interceptor Spectrum?

[cj-b]

This might be one for the vets out there????

I have been using Sentinel Spectrum for the last 3 months. The problem is, when I go to my mums house, my boy always seems to pick up a flea or 2, it's just her area. She has had it sprayed, treated, you name it she has doen it. Anyway, I was using Capstar after everytime I took him, but recently discovered Comfortis. I have decided to use this instead of Capstar as it works out cheaper than the capstar in the long run. But now I wondering if I need to use the Sentinel over the Interceptor if I'm using the Comfortis??

Would the comfortis be enough to control adult fleas and stop the cycle if used alone with the Interceptor or should I continue to use the Sentinel???

The only reason I'm looking at changing is because of $$$ as it's less than 1/2 the price.

If you are using Comfortis then the Sentinel will be overkill as comfortis last for a month and kills fleas in about 30 minutes according to manufacturers website.. you can switch to the Interceptor and save a bit of money

I'd switch to Interceptor to save money if using comfortis.

I love comfortis, we have changed most of our clients onto comfortis. I love that it's an internal drug so its very waterfast.... Once my supply of frontline runs out I'm changing mine onto it.

For heartworm I get a yearly injection for it.... never had a drama and I find it works out cheaper for me with the three dogs.

Thank you both. Yeah I think I will change him over once I run out of the Sentinel.

Everythings Shiny, I haven't studied the Interceptor yet, but I thought it did Heart Horm as well, like the Sentinel but just didn't control fleas. Should I get the injection as well? Or where you refering to something else???

Interceptor does Heartworm.

I only use fronntline (am changing to comfortis thought) and the proheart injection once a year.... if i didn't have the injection I'd use interceptor or heartgard

oh phewwww Thanks for confirming that I think I will definitely change over in 4 months time after the sentinel has run out.

Your welcome hehe.

I think most of our clients use interceptor if they don't go the proheart inj

Is Interceptor a chew or tablet? I'm switching from Sentinel once the tablets have run out. I can't split doses with the chews.

Interceptor is a chew... I haven't seen many heartworm tabs around when we do our stock order.... will try and have a look tomorrow at work and see if I can spot any on the order program.
