Pretzel bites are ok as well. Either is fine in this case. : ) Trifexis isn't the best smelling flea/heartworm preventative, so I understand the struggle with trying to make it more palatable for her. Best wishes with your pet Snowball moving forward! Take care.

Oh no! Fleas are not a fun surprise! Trifexis prevents fleas, heartworms and some intestinal parasites. Since this isn't working for you, I typically recommend using either Nexgard, Bravecto or K9 Advantix II as flea and tick prevention. Please note that Nexgard and Bravecto are prescription-based (like the Trifexis), so these would need to be obtained by Prince's vet. Prince and his friend will also need to start a separate heartworm prevention, such as Heartgard or Interceptor, but again, these are prescription-based. Until you can pick up these new medications, you can bathe both dogs in original blue Dawn dish soap because this will help to kill the existing adult fleas. I hope this helps and that all goes well!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! So there is something called Triflex which is a human joint supplement. It isn't used for flea and ticks. I would ask her again and ask her what she uses the product for. If she is referring to flea and tick prevention she likely just misspoke as there is no generic for Trifexis that I am aware of. Have a good day!

Trifexis works by killing fleas when they bite your dog, but they don't repel fleas. If Dallas is still scratching a lot, fleas could be getting on him from the home, or he could have developed a flea allergy from a previously heavy burden of fleas. It is important to disinfect your home when your pet has had fleas. Wash his bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. I would also take Dallas into the vet to discuss the continued scratching, as he may benefit from medications such as steroids if he has a flea allergy.

Hello and thank you for your question. First, I Just want to applaud you for taking a prophylactic approach to heartworm and internal parasites by giving trifexis monthly. Great job. Trifexis takes care of and prevents roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. It does not, however, prevent a dog from getting infested by other internal parasites such as tapeworms or coccidia. Because there are so many different types of medications available over the counter that treat different types of worms in a dogs gastrointestinal tract, I encourage you to take a fecal sample to your local veterinarian to get a definite diagnosis and correct treatment. It would be best to take in a sample of the feces as well as one of the worms that you find for best results. I hope this helps. Have a great day.
