Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs and Cats
Fleas and ticks cause more than itching — they spread disease. Regular prevention keeps your pet, and your home, protected.
Build My EstimateWhy Flea and Tick Prevention Matters
Fleas and ticks aren’t just a nuisance. Ticks can spread serious diseases like Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis. Fleas can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and tapeworms — and a small flea problem can turn into a home infestation fast.
Year-round prevention is the easiest way to avoid all of this.
Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs
We carry Bravecto Chews, a chewable tablet given every 12 weeks.
- Kills fleas and prevents flea infestations
- Kills 5 species of ticks
- One dose lasts 12 weeks
- Safe for dogs and puppies 6 months and older, 4.4 lbs or more
One chew covers a full 3 months of protection, so there’s no monthly dose to remember. This product does not prevent heartworm disease — pair it with a heartworm preventive like Tri-Heart Plus for full coverage.
Flea and Tick Prevention for Cats
We carry two options for cats, depending on what protection you need:
Credelio — monthly chewable tablet, flea and tick only.
- Kills fleas and prevents flea infestations
- Treats and controls black-legged ticks
- Given once a month
- Safe for cats and kittens 8 weeks and older, 2 lbs or more
Bravecto Plus — topical, every 2 months, covers heartworm too.
- Kills fleas and ticks
- Also prevents heartworm disease
- Also treats roundworms and hookworms
- One dose lasts 2 months
- Safe for cats and kittens 6 months and older, 2.6 lbs or more
If your cat also needs heartworm prevention, Bravecto Plus covers everything in one dose. If you just need flea and tick coverage, Credelio is the simpler monthly option.
The specific products we carry can change based on manufacturer availability and supply. If we ever need to substitute a different brand, we’ll make sure it offers equal or better protection before recommending it to you.
