Health & Wellbeingwhat flea/tick/heartworm prevention medication should I get for my 13 year old miniature poodle?
Hi there and thanks for posting on Boop by Petco! There are a wide variety of options to choose from. It all depends on whether or not you would like an all in one product and/or whether Buttercup prefers chewable preventatives or topical preventatives. There is a product called Revolution which helps prevent fleas, American Dog Tick, and heartworms. It is a once monthly preventative that you apply topically to the base of the neck. If you are looking for a product that covers more than just one type of tick, then I would recommend NexGard or Simparica which helps kill 4 different types of ticks as well as fleas. These are both once monthly chewables. Unfortunately, these two products do not prevent heartworms. However, Tri-Heart or HeartGard are once monthly chewables that prevent heartworms that I would recommend. If Buttercup has not had a recent Heartworm Test, she may need one from your veterinarian in order to purchase Heartworm prevention. I hope this helps with you deci
