You can find this product at any of the online veterinary pharmacies. In order to find the best value I would recommend going on goodrx.com. On this website you will be able to type in the medication and dose and it will provide you with coupon codes and the location of where you need to obtain the product. Regardless of what site you use you will still need to obtain a prescription from your veterinarian. I always caution my clients when they are planning to purchase these types of products from pharmacies of unknown origin as we cannot be certain how the drugs are being stored and what source they are obtaining the drugs from. Do your due diligence before deciding on which place to use. I have had relatively good experiences with Valley Vet Supply.

Nexgard is an excellent choice for fleas and ticks, and is one of the products I recommend most frequently. I generally prefer Sentinel for heartworm prevention rather than Heartgard, as it covers a wider range of intestinal parasites and also seems to be more effective at preventing heartworm infection, especially in areas with lots of heartworm disease such as the southern/southeastern US.

You can get Nexgard at any one of our VETCO clinics in your area: ( https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=34639 ) I suggest you use Knockout Spray ES to treat the house and a yard spray to treat the yard. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-1389-knockout-es-area-treatment.aspx?SearchTerm=knockout+Auto ) ( https://www.allivet.com/p-9065-vet-kem-yard-spray-32-oz.aspx?SearchTerm=yard%20spray+Auto ) You can use this hot spot medication on the lesion that he still has on his body. You will need to get him a cone collar to stop him from chewing that spot until you can get the fleas and his discomfort under control. The lesion will not heal unless he stops chewing at it. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-2846-vetericyn-plus-hot-spot-spray.aspx?SearchTerm=hot%20spot+Auto ) ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/contech-procone-soft-recovery-collar ) If he doesn't improve then you will need to get him back to the vet for an exam.

Great question! Nexgard kills the deer tick as well as fleas and American dog tick/rocky mountain tick, and lone star tick. It is an oral pill as well, so I would us that for your dogs. Because Nexgard doesn't protect again heartworms, you will have to give your dogs Heartgard as well, which is available by prescription only from the vet. Advantix is a spot on treatment that treats the same things as Nexgard, but you would also have to use Heartgard as well for the heartworms. These two medications (Nexgard and Advantix) are for dogs only. As for the cats, Simparica prevents five types of ticks, so this may work for your cats :-)

Nexgard is an excellent product that provide tick protection in addition to flea prevention. Bravecto is a similar product, but it provides coverage against fleas and ticks for 3 months. All of these medications require a prescription. I would recommend discussing them with your vet to determine the best fit for Charlie.
