Our dogs have never had fleas but get an occasional tick (maybe one or two a year that we remove immediately). We check them every time they go outside. They are never around other dogs or kids (and they have short hair).
We also use a country vet that is not awfully expensive. We buy the Interceptor Plus online through Allivet. https://www.allivet.com/. It usually has a pretty good discount or sale and free shipping if you spend over $49. |
We use Interceptor Plus as well, with good results. I’d be cautious of Bravecta (and serestro), I think there is an ongoing class action lawsuit with those. I think the problem with the quarterly doses are that it’s too much in the bloodstream at the outset and it has been linked to health issues. Just something to consider. We use Vectra for flea/tick control…
