    Heartworm prevention

    Hello all,
    Trying to decided if I should stay on Interceptor or switch to parastem and worm out supposed to be safer but not sure.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    have a great evening.

    I have my dogs on Interceptor.  I have never heard of the things you mention.  Is it prescription from the vet, over the counter, or what.  I don't know where you live, but here on the Texas coast i would not dream of using anything that was not  proven to work.. It is known that any heartworm preventative can fail, tho rarely.  I would always take one with a 1% failure rate than one with a 20% failure rate, or worse.  But as I said, I know nothing about the things you named.  There may be somewhere here who has heard of them and can answer better than i can.

    thank for your reply.
    the other stuff is from pet medicine chest but it has black walnut in it that I saw someone on this board might not be good for pets.
    have a fabulous day!
