While Interceptor Plus is a valuable medication for preventing heartworm disease and treating other internal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms, it doesn't offer protection against external parasites such as fleas. It's essential to use a specific flea control product alongside Interceptor Plus to address this concern.
