Interceptor is a commonly used medication for preventing heartworm and intestinal worms in dogs, and it generally has a wide safety margin. This means most dogs can tolerate a higher dose without serious consequences. However, some dogs may experience mild gastrointestinal upset. Keep an eye out for any signs such as vomiting or diarrhea. If you notice any severe reactions or if your dog seems distressed, please contact your veterinarian for advice.
