What are the best prescription flea and tick chews for my dogs?
The easiest way to do so is to go to your veterinarian and either buy the chews from him or get a prescription from your vet and get them over the internet. I am assuming you are looking to buy either Bravecto, Simparica or Nexgard. These are prescription only.

Can Petco vets prescribe flea and tick medicine for my dog or cat?
Petco carries a variety of flea and tick medication over the counter. You can only get a prescription product from a veterinarian if they have examined Bruno. Petco does offer vaccine clinics but you would need to check with the specific services individually. Here is a link: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/ I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

How to get prescription flea chews for my dog without a vet?
Unfortunately we cannot provide any prescription through this website as legally we would need to physically assess your Oliver to be able to prescribe any medication. Unfortunately the only way to have an OTC flea treatment is to buy one at the local pet shop if a local vet is not available.

Should I use flea shampoo or prescription pills for my dog after parvo?
Hi there. I would definitely recommend using a prescription flea/tick medication from your veterinarian such as Nexgard or Bravecto - these meds are much more effective and also safer than flea/tick shampoos.

Flea & tick for sensitive dogs? Avoiding topical & collar reactions.
Great question! If Diesel has sensitive skin, I recommend using an oral flea and tick medication. Simparica is an oral flea and tick medication, as is Bravecto and Nexgard. I recommend using one of them. I hope this helps!
