Like human beings, pets can fall ill. There are many common diseases and disorders that can strike your beloved cat or dog, such as tapeworm, ringworm, roundworm, intestinal parasites, and heartworm, and are often caused by germs and bites from common insects (i.e., mosquitos).

Many pet contracted diseases, particularly heartworms, can be very dangerous and fatal if not treated by a veterinarian immediately. Heartworm targets the blood vessels and heart of dogs, and must be eradicated with prescription medication (i.e., Trifecta, Tri-Heart Plus, Nuheart, Valeheart, Iverhart Max, interceptor, etc.).

Like human medications, vet prescribed medications can cause a series of side effects in dogs being treated for heartworm.

Trifecta and interceptor are the most recommended medicines recommended by vets to treat heartworm disease. For example, trifecta is usually safe for treating dogs, and carries the following benefits:

• Protects dogs from contracting heartworm
• Effective in controlling infection caused by several parasitic worms
• Useful in killing fleas and protects against future infestation
• Kills other foreign intruders in the body too (i.e., ticks)
• Comes in soft and chewable tablets, easy for dogs to eat
