Intestinal 'worms' or parasites as we call them in the medical field, are tricky critters to deal with. We can sometimes physically see the parasites in a dog or cat's stool, but most are not visible in that manner.
At our recent staff meeting, Chrissy Richardson came to share with us the benefit of using the Heartworm prevention, Interceptor, primarily for it's parasite (worm) control.
A monthly tablet of Interceptor protects against heartworms, as well as Ascarids (roundworms), Trichuris (whipworm) and Uncinaria(hookworm) parasites. Milbymicin (the active ingredient in Interceptor) is the _only_ monthly Heartworm preventative that protects against all three of the intestinal parasites.
That's why we recommend Interceptor at Lakeview Veterinary Clinic. We don't want to gamble on your pets, and your health. :-)
