At some point in your pet’s life, you might want to switch from one flea and tick medication to another. So, how do you make the transition?

Revolution provides good flea and tick control but also is a common heartworm prevention. They make oral flea and tick medicines that last for one month (nexgard and simparica) or three months (bravecto) but these do not cover heartworms. The only pill to cover heartworms and fleas is Trifexis but it is not very good for ticks.

Congratulations on your new dog! I like Revolution if you are looking for a topical product. It consistently works well and is well tolerated. If you like the idea of an oral product better, I like Trifexis (it’s another all in one product). Sometimes though the pets can smell the Trifexis and they won’t eat it. In that instance, I like Simparica and Interceptor. My personal preference is oral products. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Love his name! That is awesome! I would recommend Revolution or Advantage Multi. I personally like Advantage Multi better. Any product containing a heartworm prevention is a prescription item so you need to get your vet to either dispense the product or write you a script. I hope this helps. Best of luck with your move!

Revolution does not protect against fleas, so I'd recommend using a medication such as Nexgard which protects against fleas and ticks (including American dog ticks). It's a monthly oral flea treatment program. That way, you don't need to combine two medications to give Candy protection against fleas and ticks. Typically, I do not recommend using two different flea treatment programs togethers. The American dog tick can spread diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Tularemia. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Yes, at appropriate dosages these can be combined together. It is dependent upon the type of active molecule given. In this case Nyntenpiran (Capstar) can be given in combination with selamectin and sarolaner (Revolution).
