You can buy those products at Petco for Beaux. I would advise to only purchase Frontline or Advantix. I would not get anything cheaper than that. Be aware that these are still your best over the counter products but fleas are developing immunity to them. In general, the oral products like Simparica and Bravecto are the best. Please post if you have any additional questions.

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Charlie! I recommend the following products for ticks: Nexgard, Bravecto, Simparica or the Seresto Collar. The spot on treatments, bathing and powders do not work well anymore. Hopefully you can get one of the above products from your Vet. The Seresto collars can be found online but I have heard of counterfeit ones being sold on amazon so be careful of online sources. It is best to try to get them from your Vet. I hope this helps and I wish Charlie the best!

Hi and thanks for using Boop by Petco! Sorry to hear that Leo is having a tick problem. Tick protection is important because depending on where you live, Ticks can transmit many devastating tick borne diseases. There are many products out there including topicals and a few collars. Some of these products will require a veterinary prescription and some are over the counter (OTC). Topical products include Frontline Plus, Advantix, Vectra 3D, Effitix, Activyl, Paradefense, etc. There are some oral medicines out also called Bravecto and Nexgard. The two collars out there that work are Preventic and Seresto. I would advise calling your vet to at least discuss what they recommend in your area and go from there. From a cost standpoint, the Seresto collar (fleas/ticks, 8 months of coverage, waterproof) is probably the most affordable. You can look online for purchasing options. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Anjel. There are great products on the market now: 1) edible products like Nexgard, Simparica and Bravecto 2) Collars that last 8 months like Seresto. I recommend calling your Vet and asking which products they carry! Good luck!

Congratulations on adding Max to your family! Max will need to have his vaccines before he can be groomed so he will need to see the veterinarian. The best products for ticks are oral products like Simparica and Nexgard. You will need approval from your veterinarian to get these products. Seresto collars and Frontline will also kill ticks. Depending on where you live, if tick borne diseases are common, it may also be recommended to start Max on an antibiotic to try to prevent tick borne diseases. Heartworm testing and likely prevention will also be recommended. Certainly you may be able to look into vaccine clinics or low cost clinics which may be able to offer most or all of these services (you will need to check if they can address the tick borne illness issue). You may also look into the wellness programs offered by VCA and Banfield if they are in your area. Sometimes this is an affordable way to get the normal preventive care items for pets. I hope this helps and please feel free
