What are the best flea and tick meds I can buy for my dog at Petco?

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.

Can I buy K9 Advantix for my small dog at Petco for flea prevention?

I'm not sure if they do or not - in the United States, it's available at most pet stores and even some large, "general" type stores like Walmart. I would suggest calling or visiting your nearest pet store and/or any large grocery stores in your area to see if they have it :)

Choosing flea, tick, heartworm meds: Revolution, Advantix, Heartgard?

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.

My dog's flea treatment isn't working. What should I use instead?

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Fleas are super smart and have developed resistance to a lot of products. In the US we see fleas that are resistant to Frontline. Maybe a little less to Advantix/Advantage. Personally I think the new oral flea and tick preventions are the best: Nexgard and Simparica are monthly and Bravecto is one pill every 3 months. Also the Seresto collar is great and good value for the money, the collar lasts 8 months. These products are not cheap, they cost about $16/dose. But they are prescription from a Vet only. The price is worth the efficacy and it will save you in the long run from trying multiple products, bombing your house, etc plus it will help your dog quicker. I hope this helps and have a great day!

Advantage II vs. oral flea meds for dogs: What's the difference?

[Advantage II](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/brand/advantage?utm_source=PetCoach&utm_medium=questions&utm_campaign=bayeradvantage) flea prevention is applied to your dog topically, spreading over the skin and hair. It kills fleas through contact, which means that fleas don't have to bite your dog to be exposed to the preventive. On the other hand, with oral flea medications, fleas are killed only after biting your dog and ingesting the medication. One flea bite can lead to an allergic reaction in sensitive dogs. Additionally, some oral flea preventives last as long as 12 weeks. Pet parents may find this more convenient. Most topicals must be applied every 4 weeks. Regardless, either product must be applied or administered regularly and following label directions in order for it to be effective.
