I just got an email from my breeder and thought I'd pass her reminder onto you all. We all know that Ace is bad for boxers, but you don't hear as much about Interceptor. Interceptor is used to prevent heartworm, but can be deadly to boxers. A puppy from Hobbes' litter was given interceptor even though the owner mentioned that our breeder included a clause in our contracts that states not to give Interceptor or Ace. The vet insisted that there aren't any conclusive studies about Interceptor, and that the pup would be fine; he got incredibly ill and may have long term or permanent damage. Many boxer puppies have been lost over the last few years because of Interceptor, please don't let this happen to your dog... it's so easy to prevent. If your vets are unaware, make them aware, tell other boxer owners as well. That's what I'm trying to do. Thanks for reading. From my breeder's email, it sounds as though there aren't any conclusive studies that she knows of; however, she personally knows a number of dogs who have gotten sick from it. She's been a respected breeder for a number of years and is in close contact with many other breeders, so I'm assuming her personal experience is worth at least taking the warning seriously. I'm not 100% sure, I was just passing on some information. I'd rather be safe than sorry, and use a different dewormer for Hobbes. Thanks for the information. I also read along these posts the COMFORTIS could be a problem ! ! Yikes, anyone have more information on this. We also had a flee problem this past spring (and all our animals are treated regularly) so we switched from Frontline Plus to the Comfortis, that change with alot of spraying our home got rid of them.
