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.

Great question! Nexgard kills the deer tick as well as fleas and American dog tick/rocky mountain tick, and lone star tick. It is an oral pill as well, so I would us that for your dogs. Because Nexgard doesn't protect again heartworms, you will have to give your dogs Heartgard as well, which is available by prescription only from the vet. Advantix is a spot on treatment that treats the same things as Nexgard, but you would also have to use Heartgard as well for the heartworms. These two medications (Nexgard and Advantix) are for dogs only. As for the cats, Simparica prevents five types of ticks, so this may work for your cats :-)

I would recommend Bravecto for cats https://us.bravecto.com/for-cats . You could combine this with a Seresto cat collar if needed. I would recommend discussing with Levi's vet what products they are finding effective in your area as sometimes a vet will find one product works best for pets in their region.

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I like Bravecto for flea and ticks. It is a topical that works for 3 months. Then I would use interceptor monthly for heartworm and intestinal parasites. Or you can use Advantage Multi and the Seresto collar for the ticks. But you are right there isn't a product that gets everything for dogs or cats. Have a great day!

I would recommend the new product Simparica for flea and tick control (prevents 5 different tick species, including brown dog tick) and Heartgard for heartworm prevention. Then revolution for the cat for heartworm and flea prevention since there is no tick preventative available for cats.

Since you have cats it’s best to get Sunny on an oral flea preventative, such as Bravecto, Nexgard, Simparica, Comfortis or Trifexis (flea and heartworm preventative. Best wishes keeping those fleas at bay with Sunny. Take care.
