At Canine & Co, you’ll find vet-trusted solutions suited to your pet’s lifestyle and health needs.

Why Prevention Is Non-Negotiable

Fleas and ticks aren’t just a nuisance — they can transmit serious illnesses like Lyme disease, tapeworms, and even affect human health. Preventive care keeps your pet, your home, and your family safer. Leading veterinary bodies recommend year-round protection in many regions, even where seasons seem low-risk.

The Medication Types We Offer

• Oral chews: Popular monthly tablets (like NexGard, Simparica, Credelio) that begin killing pests quickly after ingestion.
• Topical treatments (spot-ons): Applied to the skin; options containing permethrin (e.g., K9 Advantix II, Vectra 3D) also actively repel ticks before they latch on.
• Flea/tick collars: Like Seresto, offering continuous protection for up to 8 months.
• Long-acting oral tablets: Products like Bravecto provide up to 12 weeks of protection per dose, reducing monthly treatment hassle.
• Combination treatments: Multi-purpose options such as Simparica Trio or Advantage Multi also cover heartworms and other internal parasites.

Choosing the Right Medication

• Lifestyle matters: Dogs that swim often may benefit from oral chews that remain effective even after bathing.
• Speed vs. repel action: Some topicals repel ticks, helping prevent disease transmission, while chews work by killing once parasites attach.
• Convenience: Monthly chews or long-lasting collars reduce the chance of missed doses.
• Health conditions & vet advice: Always consult your veterinarian before combining treatments or if your dog has health issues or sensitivities.

Smart Usage Tips

• Always follow the manufacturer's directions to match the correct dose to your dog’s weight and species. Never use dog products on cats.
• Monitor for mild side effects like temporary itching or gastrointestinal upset — serious issues are rare.
• In high-risk environments, pair medication with regular bedding and environment cleaning to reduce flea and tick populations.
