Is Frontline Plus safe for my dog on Apoquel and Benazepril?

Hi and thanks for your request. The combination between Trifexis and Frontline Plus is safe and possible. Frontline plus is a fairly good repellent for ticks. Make sure you use it at the right dosage and with the right posology.

There is not a problem giving Apoquel at the same time as Lasix and benazepril. While long term usage of Apoquel can suppress the immune system in my opinion there wouldn't be any increased risk for immune suppression with concurrent heart disease. It would be a good idea to address these concerns with your vet as well.

Yes, combining a topical flea prevention with Nexgard is completely safe. If you keep Ollie on Nexgard you will not need to use the Frontline. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes. Benedryl can be safely used in conjunction with apoquel. But please give her vet a call to discuss her medications- they may want to increase her apoquel dose or switch to a different medication if it isn’t effective currently.

Since Frontline plus is a different type of flea preventive (fipronil + a larval development inhibitor) from Revolution (an avermectin) there should be no problem. There is no adverse interaction reported that I could find.

Yes ypu can give Frontline plus. You need to part the hair between the shoulder blades and make sure you put the liquid on the skin. If you think that will be difficult you can cut the hair in this spot and then rub the liquid into the skin with the tip of the tube, or have someone holding your pet for you while you apply the flea medicine.

Hello and thank you for your post! This combination will not likely cause any side effects. Ideally only one should be given at a time but not nexgard and frontline together should be ok. I would, however, monitor your dog for any symptoms such as tremors, seizures, excessive salivation, lethargy and get your dog seen as soon as possible by an emergency vet for treatment. Please feel free to consult with me with any further questions or concerns you may have!
