I cannot find my dog’s regular flea/tick meds (topical Revolution 20.1-40.1lbs) b/c it’s on back order even with my vet. I’m panicking b/c idk what to give my dog that is equivalent to that flea/tick med. She hasn’t missed a single dose since she was
Simparica Trio is a similar medication that treats fleas, ticks, heartworms, roundworms, and hookworms. It's a chewable tablet rather than a topical, but is easy to give and can help bridge the gap until you're back on your regular medication. It is best to confirm it is safe to give with your vet if Mia has any other underlying health conditions or issues, and your vet can order it or provide a prescription to an online service such as Chewy.

Best flea/ parasite pill for small dog?
Thanks for visiting Boop by Petco. I really like the following products for small dogs: Simparica (30 day protection per pill), Nexgard (30 day protection per pill) or Bravecto (90 day protection per pill). They all also do tick prevention as well and are flavoared, so they are relatively easy to give because your pet thinks its a treat. Ask your veterinarian if these are available at their clinic, becuase different clinics carry different products in house. i hope this was helpful! Best wishes and take care.

I’m taking my dog to the country 5 days from now where he will be more susceptible to fleas or ticks. We will be there for about 3-4 days. He’s a rescue I’ve had for a few months now and I don’t know much about his history. He seems to have issues wi
If you want an over-the-counter product, go with Frontline but there are issues with resistance to this product. Otherwise I recommend to call your veterinarian and discuss one of the top products such as Simparica or Nexgard. I hope this helps and enjoy your trip.

Hi doc! I’m having a flea issue. My apartment complex can’t spray the grass, and it is currently infested. My dog has gotten fleas 3 times In the last month or so. He’s on sentinel which kills flea eggs, and has gotten flea baths, but is there anythi
Unfortunately fleas do not live on the dog, but only hop on to feed and then they hop off and stay in his environment (your apartment!) until it is time to feed again. So you need to treat all pets in the household as well as the environment (which contains the fleas, their eggs and larvae). Flea treatment: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly (which you have done already) 2) get flea powder, put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and vacuum your house and furniture and also non-carpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae and eggs which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the pet's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas. Flea products: Spot-ons: Advantage, Advantix Advantage Multi Frontline (ticks as well) Bravecto spot on (ticks as well) - for cats, in tablet form for dogs Nexgard Revolution Tablets: comfortis (will only k

My dog currently takes Trifexis. She really dislikes it because of the smell. Would there be any other non-topical medication options? Thanks so much!
Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. Yes, there are lots of other non-topical flea and tick prevention options. Nexgard and Bravecto have oral chews that dogs can eat as treats. Nexgard is monthly whereas Bravecto is every 3 months. Both of these prevent against fleas and ticks. Heartgard is an oral medication that protects against heartworm and other intestinal parasites. There is a Seresto collar that can be worm by dogs to prevent flea and tick infections for up to 8 months. I recommend reaching out to your local vet to see which products they have available. I hope this is helpful!
