The brand you use is up to you and your vet. Heartguard is Ivermectin (keep in mind that this drug has ONLY been approved for cattle, NOT small animals...but is still used); Interceptor is Milbemycin; Sentenial (sp) is Milbemycin and something for fleas (can't think of the name right off hand). If she is on one (a heartworm preventative) that also deworms for Hook, Round and/or Whip worms, then you don't have to use anything else. Unless, she goes somewhere where there is an infestion of worms, then I'd say to deworm her 2 wks after the heartworm pill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
