What's the best flea and tick product for my 10-year-old Shih Tzu dog?

Question

Hi. Is there an effective flea and tick product on the market that's appropriate for a 10-year-old Shih Tzu. We have been using Trifexis for the past few years since Comfortis went off the market. And prior to that we would use Frontline together with Comfortis. Doesn't matter what it tastes like, we hide it in his homemade food cut in small pieces anyway. Thank you.

Hi there! For fleas and ticks, the most effective products currently available are Nexgard and Bravecto. These are both beef-flavored soft chews that most dogs like. My dogs are on Bravecto at the moment, which has been working great for them :) You should be able to get these meds from your vet, or order them online with a prescription.
