Hilary, my info is anecdotal. There have been three of my dogs that the buyer used Intercept or Sentinel and the dogs had a sort of "out of body", trance-like seizure within three days of getting the monthly dose. The dog looked fine but did not respond to voices or anything--- just sat there spaced out, it was like it was on a drug "trip". They changed to Heartguard and the dog was fine after that, no more seizures.
It may be that it is a chance thing, just like Aimee being allergic to penicillin. Never had a dog allergic to penicillin before or after. Who can tell? But we have had three that have had a reaction to other heartworm preventions. We've NEVER had a reaction with Heartguard. That is why I now have instructions on my puppy booklet that Heartguard is the ONLY heartworm preventative that I recommend for my line. Once could be a chance thing, three is a little to much evidence for me, even if it is anecdotal.
