Interceptor Dosage?

[Puppynovice]

I've just had to start my mini foxie on a new heart worm / all wormer treatment. He has previously been receiving Proheart every month (for heartworm) plus the drontal all wormer every 3 months (for hook, tape, round worm etc). Because the Drontal is for a 10kg dog (and my boy is only 4.5 kg), I was advisef to give him half a chew every 3 months for the drontal all wormer.

Anyway, Proheart is no longer available in the 6 pack tablets. So I have decided to buy Interceptor Spectrum. It covers all of the above (heart worm and all wormer) so now I only need to give him the one treatment every month. But what I need to know is how much. The Interceptor chews are for a 4-11kg dog. So should I give him half a chew (as in the drontal all wormer) or the full chew every month?

Any ideas?

If he is within the weight range give him the full chew :)

I give my guys sentinel and have one at the bottom of the large dog weight range and one at the top so they both get a full chew.

if chews cover between 4 and 10 , and if he weighs over 4 , seems like he gets a whole dose ....

Brooks is 4.5kg and she has always had a full chew :)

I would go the full chew as I have heard the medication isn't evenly distributed through the chew.
