This is a warning on the label of Heartguard Plus, and searching the Interceptor Website it said the same. Of course not every dog has adverse reactions, but if you already have a dog causing problems, can you really feel safe giving them a pesticide monthly?
Merial, the makers of Heartgard Plus, cite vomiting and diarrhea as the most commonly observed adverse reactions noted in clinical field trials of the drugs. As the most common side effects, these reactions were noted in only 1.1 percent of cases where the drug was administered, according to the product's safety and administration guideline pamphlet. Additional side effects of Merial included in the pamphlet are depression, lethargy, unwillingness to eat, loss of coordination, convulsions, hypersalivation and excessive dilation of the pupils.
