Possible Side Effects
While Interceptor Spectrum is generally considered safe for small dogs, some individuals may still experience sensitivities. In rare cases, dogs may show signs such as digestive upset (including vomiting or diarrhea), temporary lethargy or depression, unsteady movement or mild tremors, and a reduced appetite. If you notice any of these signs persisting or worsening, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian immediately.
Precautions for Use
To begin treatment safely, a Mandatory Heartworm Test is required, meaning a veterinarian must confirm dogs are heartworm-negative before administration, as giving the drug to an infected dog may cause a reaction. You must also perform a Weight Check to ensure your dog is between 2 lbs(1 kg) and 8 lbs(4 kg). Dogs over 8 lbs(4kg) must use the Green pack. The product is safe for Puppies starting from 2 weeks of age.
