Question

Which flea treatment is best for dogs living in Southern California? Pet's info: Dog | Cocker Spaniel | Female | unspayed | 38 lbs

Amber Da Silva, DVM · Accepted Answer

There are multiple good options for treating fleas and there is not one that is necessarily the "best." Frontline is a topical medication that is available over the counter, so you should be able to find it at most pet stores. NexGard and Bravecto are oral medications that are only available by prescription from your veterinarian. Frontline and NexGard have to be given once a month, while Bravecto lasts for 3 months. The most important thing when choosing a flea treatment is to choose one that you will be able to give to your pet consistently.
