Question

What are the best methods for fleas and ticks in dogs and which are the best brands? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 6 months old

Jennifer Summerfield, DVM CPDT-KA · Accepted Answer

The most effective options currently available for flea/tick control in dogs are oral medications, including Nexgard, Bravecto, and Trifexis/Comfortis. These are prescription medications, so you would need to get them from your vet. If you need over-the-counter options, K9 Advantix and Seresto collars are both reasonably good options that work well for many dogs.
