Can Petco flea/tick & heartworm meds match vet strength/quality?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I received flea and tick pills and heartworm pills from my vet for once a month each. Are the pills sold at Petco same strength and quality?

It depends on the brand of flea and tick preventative and heartworm preventative. The best thing you can do is to check with your local PetCo or see if PetCo.com carries it online to order as a prescription. I hope this helps!
