What flea protection should I use for my 1-year-old Shih Poo dog?

Question

What flea protection would you recommend? I have a shih tzu mixed with a poodle, she is 1 yr old and 4 months

Jessica Keay, DVM · Accepted Answer

There are so many options for flea control in pets now! The most common include once monthly topical products or oral products. My preference now are the oral products Nexgard and Bravecto. Nexgard lasts one month, Bravecto lasts 3 months. They are effective against fleas and ticks, and you do not have to worry about accidentally touching the product when it is still wet with your pet or bathing your pet too often like you do with the topical products. The oral products are slightly more expensive than the topical methods. If you prefer a topical then Advantage is a less expensive option.
