Regular monthly dosing with Interceptor™ Spectrum protects against all nasty worm types
- Heartworm
- Roundworm
- Whipworm
- Hookworm
- Tapeworm
Regular monthly dosing with Interceptor™ Spectrum protects against heartworm in dogs and puppies as young as 2 weeks of age, plus prevents infestation from intestinal worm, including roundworm, whipworm and hookworm. Importantly Interceptor™ Spectrum also protects against Hydatid tapeworm which is potentially lethal to humans.
Giving tablets to dogs can be frustrating, however, Interceptor™ Spectrum comes in a tasty chew made with real chicken that dogs love. In fact 94% of dogs like the taste of Interceptor so much, they’ll eat it straight from the hand.*
Important Safety Information
Interceptor™ Spectrum Tasty Chews can be safely used in puppies from 2 weeks of age, breeding males and females, pregnant and lactating females, and in Collies sensitive to ivermectin.
If an animal with adult heartworm infection (and therefore circulating microfilariae) is given Interceptor™ Spectrum Tasty Chews, a transient shock-like reaction can occur. To avoid this, dogs should be tested for adult heartworm and treated if necessary, before starting Interceptor™ Spectrum Tasty Chews.
Studies have confirmed safety at up to 10 times the recommended dose.
Active Ingredients
Interceptor™ Spectrum Tasty Chews active ingredients are milbemycin oxime and praziquantel.
Milbemycin oxime interferes with nerve transmission in invertebrates, which helps protect against heartworm, roundworm, hookworm and whipworm (minimum dose rate: 0.5mg/kg).
Praziquantel causes muscle spasm in tapeworm, which are then attacked by enzymes and disintegrate (minimum dose rate: 5mg/kg). It is effective against both flea and hydatid tapeworm.
Directions For Use
Interceptor™ Spectrum can be added to a small meal or placed directly in the mouth, similar to tablet dosing.
Dosage should be once a month, ideally on the same date.
If a dose is overdue by <15 days, treat immediately and resume monthly dosing.
If a dose is missed by 15-30 days, heartworm prevention can be maintained if treated immediately and monthly dosing resumes for at least the next 2 months.
If a dose is missed by >60 days, a veterinarian must be consulted in case the animal has contracted heartworm. Dosing may be recommenced, and a blood test for adult heartworm must be performed after 6 months.

I have used interceptor for my white shepherd since he was one years old and have never had any problems with worms. My shepherd is now 6 1/2 years of age.

Lifesaver!
I frequently worm my dogs, but nevertheless a couple months back, received the unexpected "treat" of live roundworms greeting me when I stooped and scooped. Ugh. I had been using a different dewormer that (I thought) was effective. After researching brands and what worms were covered, I settled on Interceptor. It covers all the worms (rare), and heartworm to boot. Not only does it save me money, but one of my dogs is a breed highly susceptible to serious reactions to medication. My vet and I have burned through many brands trying to find one that doesn't give my dog frightening and possibly life threatening side effects. I'm very pleased to say Interceptor will be my go-to medication moving forward for heartworm and deworming needs! Truly a life saver! Thank you
