Worming

We're changing from using Interceptor monthly to using a monthly heartwormer and a three monthly intestinal wormer. Should we worm them (intestinal) a month after their last Interceptor then three monthly or can we start worming them three monthly after their last Interceptor?

Timing on intestinal wormers for adult dogs is not critical. You haven't stated which intestinal wormer you are using, but most of them are pretty mild, so you could probably go onto it directly with no consequences. On the other hand, carrying a few intestinal worms for a few months won't hurt a healthy adult dog. I've had vets tell me that many adult dogs can shed intestinal worms with no treatment whatsoever.
