Most pet parents are familiar with topical or oral flea and tick preventives. So which is better for your pet—topical or oral?
Updated on November 13th, 2025
Because fleas are so problematic, flea prevention is essential! Commonly prescribed preventives include oral and topical medications—although injectable flea prevention is available, as well.

Either can be combined and given at any time with Frontline. They do make better, longer acting flea control pills such as Nexgard or Simparica that you give monthly or Bravecto that is given every 3 months

Great question! Yes, you can give Chico Capstar. Follow it up with a spot on treatment like Revolution or Frontline. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash his bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. Best of luck.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I recommend that you try a product called Capstar which can help kill a lot of fleas at once. You can consider switching to another flea preventative product such as Bravecto or Frontline. In the meantime, your veterinarian can consider a medication such as prednisone or Apoquel to help with the itch for now. Good luck!

Yes, you can give Aries Capstar in addition to the topical Sentry medication. Be sure to continue applying topical flea prevention monthly in order to break the flea lifecycle. When he is due for the next dose of medication, I would recommend using a higher quality (both safer and more effective) flea preventative, such as Advantage, Revolution, or Bravecto. If you have any other dogs or cats in the house, be sure to treat all pets with good quality flea prevention. I hope this helps and that all goes well!

I recommend purchasing Capstar (available OTC at PetCo) to kill the live fleas as quickly as possible and starting an oral flea/tick preventative such as Nexgard/Simparica or Bravecto (all of these are far more effective than any collar or topical flea product). You may be able to purchase one of these from a vaccine clinic such as vippetcare.com or Vedco.com without paying an office visit fee. Your vet will be able to prescribe a topical steroid/antibiotic ointment or powder such as Dermavet or Neopredef powder that will be more effective than OTC hotspot spray, however the bigger issue is daily vacuuming and laundering your home to remove all the flea eggs that may have already been deposited and will hatch and re-infect Chanel if she is not continuously on monthly oral flea/tick prevention year round. Environmental clean up after a flea infestation is key! Good luck!
