Can my dog have Skippy pretzel bites when taking Trifexis?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 10.6 lbs

Snowball only has peanut butter once a month when it’s time to take her trifexis. We give her Skippy. Would it be safe to give it to her in skippy pretzel bites? Or should I just stick to the plain peanut butter.

Pretzel bites are ok as well. Either is fine in this case. : ) Trifexis isn't the best smelling flea/heartworm preventative, so I understand the struggle with trying to make it more palatable for her. Best wishes with your pet Snowball moving forward! Take care.
