allie181 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I have an 8 month old Cavalier. He goes to doggie daycare twice a week so needs super coverage. Currently he is on Comfortis for fleas (which I'm very happy with - much better than spot ons!) and Interceptor for all types of worms. The Comfortis is fine - it is a small table and I am able to get that down his throat. But he hates the Interceptor chewable and I've tried crumbling it into his food but then he refuses to eat it. Are there any other good options that cover all types of worms? Is there an injectable option or is that only for heartworm? Thanks in advance Allie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss B Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 There is no injection for intestinal worms. You could try using a combination of Heartgard Plus chewables for heartworm plus Drontal chewables for intestinal worms. They are still chewies, but they have a different texture and flavour to the Interceptor chewies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvs Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 similar ingredients to Interceptor, but has a small white tablet Mibemax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrie Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Yes Milbemax is made my the same company as Interceptor and does exactly the same thing, in a tablet form! It's generally cheaper too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Yep I'd go Milbemax. It's Interceptor in a little tablet form so much easier to pop down the throat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 What do you feed him? Dry food? If you still have some Interceptor to use up try crumbling it into a (moist) meal with a strong flavour - mince meat with sardines/liver, etc. Or even mixing it up with gravy or stock and pouring over dry food.

allie181 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks, I'll go with Milbemax. I used that on my cats long ago and never had a problem with it. Didn't know they made it for dogs also. Thanks. (SecretKei - I crumbled it up in his raw mince meat which he normally wolfs down but wouldn't touch it with the interceptor mixed in.)

**Super_Dogs** Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Can I provide another suggestion. I use sentinal spectrum. This is the same as Interceptor but is also for fleas. Like you I have found the spot on flea treatments useless. Since I switched to Sentinal many years ago we have never had fleas. The reason I am providing this option is for me with large dogs it works out cheaper than buying different products. Like you one of my dogs will not eat the chew - I feed him the chew like a tablet.
