National Heartworm Month may be officially over, but that shouldn’t avoid pet owners from understanding the significance of giving a heartworm preventative each month. A wonderfully convenient product, Sentinel provides the benefits of Interceptor heartworm prevention and the flea control of Program all in one pill.
When given monthly both heartworm control and flea control are implemented. However, by itself Sentinel does not kill adult fleas or repel fleas so it is typically good to use this product with another one that either kills adult fleas or breaks the flea life cycle such as Capstar or topical advantage II.
Side effects are rare and may include digestive upset and less typically neurological reactions. The only issues clients have had with this product has been the need to incorporate other steps of external parasite control for fleas, ticks, lice and/or flies. However, its benefit and ease of use makes Sentinel a popular choice for flea and heartworm control for numerous satisfied clients over the years.
Which heartworm preventative do you use on your pet? are there any issues you’ve had in using a heartworm preventative?
