Hi. Is there an effective flea and tick product on the market that's appropriate for a 10-year-old Shih Tzu. We have been using Trifexis for the past few years since Comfortis went off the market. And prior to that we would use Frontline together w
Hi there! For fleas and ticks, the most effective products currently available are Nexgard and Bravecto. These are both beef-flavored soft chews that most dogs like. My dogs are on Bravecto at the moment, which has been working great for them :) You should be able to get these meds from your vet, or order them online with a prescription.

I have a chocolate lab and he has fleas bad.....tried the flea and tick stuff from Petco u put on the back. Also bought a peppermint natural spray from Walmart and they're not helping........ I noticed he also has behind both ears a white round like
I would strongly recommend a veterinary visit for Duke. It sounds like he may have a bit of flea allergy dermatitis or a hotspot from the fleas as well as fleas. There are some great newer generations Flea and tick medications but they are prescription only; either oral or topical. Being a lab, if he is in the water a lotThe topical treatments are not likely to be as effective. Someone of the oral medications such as nex guard or bravecto or comfortis may be ideal for Duke. And from your description he may need some systemic antibiotics or steroids to help clear up his infection. Good luck I hope Duke get some relief soon and thank you for using Boop by Petco.

My 6 months old pug puppy is suffering from ticks all over his body, have tried tick shampoo, powder and spot on.. But only little improvement not competely cured. Please advise
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Charlie! I recommend the following products for ticks: Nexgard, Bravecto, Simparica or the Seresto Collar. The spot on treatments, bathing and powders do not work well anymore. Hopefully you can get one of the above products from your Vet. The Seresto collars can be found online but I have heard of counterfeit ones being sold on amazon so be careful of online sources. It is best to try to get them from your Vet. I hope this helps and I wish Charlie the best!

My 5 yrs old Lab got fleas and ticks so i shaved his body. Now he has very tiny insects around is tail and he keeps biting and licking that area. Should i use spot-on on his body or some spray ? Please mention the brand also.
These are likely to be fleas (although a pic of it would help to determine the underlying cause more specifically).Here is a list of good quality flea (and ticks) treatment. Spot ons: Revolution, Advantage, Advantage Multi. A good house spray would be Indoorex. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!

My dog needs flea and tick protection. How can I get a prescription?
There are several products effective against fleas and ticks that you can buy over the counter. They are in form of topical spot-on pipette that you apply on skin (for example Frontline, K9 Advantix), collars (Seresto, Killtix) or tablets (Nexgard). If you search online you will find many shops selling these products. Alternatively, you should be able to buy them in pet shops or at the vets.
