What are the Best Flea Pills for Dogs?

Fleas are the great mystery of nature, being so small they can create numerous problems for dogs and even for their two-legged parents. Anyone who has had to tackle a flea or tick infestation for a dog knows how important is to use an effective flea and tick preventative or treatment. As there are many types of treatment available on the market, it is difficult for many pet-parents to choose the best flea protection.



If you are a pet-parent wondering where to begin and what to choose for flea prevention, here we have the best-selling flea pills that most pet-parents love around the country.

Why Flea Pills?

Pills often come in a chewable format that is readily accepted by willing dogs. However, you can also disguise pills in the dog food to administer when the dog refuses to take pills directly. Regular monthly doses of such treatments are formulated to kill fleas before they lay eggs and prevent infestations at the earliest. The oral pills can also eliminate skin reaction concerns about some active ingredients you have while using other topical treatments. Also, you may find the oral administering method much easier than the topical.

More facts about pills or chews:

·         They often come in flavors that dogs enjoy as a treat

·         No risk of treatment washing off as you may have with topical products

·         No worry about applying them correctly

·         No need to isolate your dog after administering

·         You can allow your dog to swim right away after the treatment

·         No need to visit vet office as oral pills or chew can be administered at home

·    Allows you to continue your pet’s ongoing treatments (Always discuss with your vet before combining two treatments)
