Frontline Plus is great for outdoor pets, especially those that live on large acreage.
Trifexis is the newest product for flea and heartworm prevention, given in pill form once monthly, and no waiting period between bathing or getting wet is needed.
Revolution is good for outdoor pets, Earmite control is a bonus. Revolution treats fleas, ticks, & heartworms, but does not control intestinal worms in dogs (other forms of heartworm preventatives do).
Interceptor provides Whipworm control in addition to Hookworms & Roundworms. This is our most recommended Heartworm prevention. Interceptor is often used in combination with Frontline plus for complete protection.
Sentinel has the benefit of no external insecticide on your pet so it reduces human exposure. It controls fleas by preventing the eggs from hatching. Sentinel does not control ticks or adult fleas. Capstar can be used to remedy this for fleas. This is the preferred flea and heartworm control for indoor dogs.
Heartgard is the best tasting Heartworm prevention, however it does not control whipworms. (Good in combination with Frontline Plus).
Comfortis is a great product for flea control, given in a pill form once monthly. Waiting period between bathing or getting wet is not needed.
Capstar is an oral treatment that starts killing fleas in 30 minutes, but only lasts 24 hrs. in cats & 36 hrs in dogs. It is used to rid of severe flea infestations while waiting for other long-term products to take effect.
