5 Best Flea And Tick Control Products For Dogs

5 Best Flea And Tick Control Products For Dogs

The 3 most commonly used flea and tick control products you can get from your vet are: Frontline Plus, K9 Advantix and Advantage.  Revolution and Capstar are 2 others you can get from your vet.

I use Frontline Plus on both of my dogs.

I have not had any problems with fleas.

There have been a few times when I have used Capstar on my dogs.  For example, I use Capstar for added protection when we take our dogs camping.  The place we go camping is notorious for sand fleas, so I would rather be safe than sorry.

If you are still unsure about which flea and tick control product is best for your dog, here is a quick overview of each product’,s claims…,

Frontline Plus:

  • Kills fleas 100% within 18 hours.
  • Kills ticks 100% within 48 hours.
  • Works for an entire month.
  • Protects against fleas, mosquitoes, deer ticks, American dog ticks, brown dog ticks and lone star ticks.

Advantage:

  • Protects against fleas.
  • Stops biting within 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Kills fleas within the hour.
  • Within 12 hours, 98% to 100% of fleas are dead.

The other flea and tick preventatives that you can get from your vet are Revolution and Capstar.  Here is a quick overview of those 2 flea and tick control products for dogs:

Revolution:

  • Protects against heartworm, fleas, flea eggs, ear mites, sarcoptic mange and American dog ticks.
  • Kills fleas within 30 minutes, but is not long-lasting.
  • Lasts only 4 hours.
  • It is a good start to help get rid of fleas on a dog that is infested.
