[NAGDU] Flee and tick control

[annettenowakowski at att.net]

Thanks for the info.  Yes, I notice that the oral meds are expensive compared to the collar.  Where is the cheapest place to get this?  I checked into Chewy.  Also, how long do you give it for?  I presume at least 6-9 months starting in spring.

Hi, Annette.


I use Bravecta.  It's a pill you give once every three months. My dog thought it was a treat and had no issues with it.


Very recently the manufacturer introduced a monthly version that does 
the same thing.   It is significantly cheaper in the short term, about 
$25 a dose versus the nearly $80 every three months.


There are more alternatives that come in pill form, or you could try 
something topical like Frontline.
