Hi Andrea,
Yes giving the whole tablet of the dog 0-25 lb dog
Heartgard would be recommended. Unfortunately
the ivermectin is not equally distributed through the
chewable Heartgard, so giving the whole chewable is
recommended. The heartgard for cats is a much smaller
size tablet, so it is easier to give. Likewise the 0-10 lb
dog Interceptor is the smallest tablet, and is the easiest
tablet to give (mine will actually eat it). Revolution is another
option. This is a liquid to just put on their back, so it is
real easy to give.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
