Because it controls fleas and ticks as well as offering protection against heartworms and other internal parasites, Revolution may be the answer to every dog owner's prayers!

No other flea and tick treatment except for Sentinel protects your dog from fleas, heartworms, and other internal parasites all in one easy treatment.

With so many heartworm control treatment plans available, heartworms can easily be prevented in your dog.

If you take appropriate care of your dog, heartworms can become nothing more than a minor irritation just like the typical dog flea.

Anyone living in an area affected by heartworms should have their dog on some type of heartworm preventative medication, just as you would use a flea and/or tick control product for your dog for those parasites that you can see. It is much wiser to prevent heartworms than to wait until your dog is infected with heartworms and needs a much harsher heartworm treatment.

You veterinarian can prescribe the heartworm preventative that he recommends and you can generally purchase these products from your veterinary clinic or from a reputable online store.

There should be no worry that your dog will be infected with heartworms with the numerous types of heartworm preventative medications on the market today.

Interceptor, by Novartis, eliminates the tissue state of the heartworm larvae. It also works by killing the adult stage of intestinal worms.

Interceptor heartworm preventative can be bought worldwide, but interestingly enough, the website only relates to the USA.

If the option of non-US resident is selected on the website, a disclaimer window will pop up to inform users that any site selling Interceptor outside of the US is not under the control of the parent company, and that Novartis can not take responsibility for the content or conduct of that site.

This is why it is best to consult the main United States Novartis website for Interceptor.

The website also offers a monthly email reminder service to alert pet owners to the fact it's time to use Interceptor for dogs or cats again.

Choosing Interceptor heartworm preventative medication means that you are arming your pet with effective protection against heartworms, hookworms, roundworms and whipworms.

You would need to purchase additional protection against fleas and ticks, so you might consider Advantage flea dogs medication, Revolution heartworm medication (with protection against fleas, ticks and mites and mange) or Frontline.
