My dog hates Trifexis smell. What are other non-topical flea/tick meds?

Question

My dog currently takes Trifexis. She really dislikes it because of the smell. Would there be any other non-topical medication options? Thanks so much! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 17 lbs

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, there are lots of other non-topical flea and tick prevention options. Nexgard and Bravecto have oral chews that dogs can eat as treats. Nexgard is monthly whereas Bravecto is every 3 months. Both of these prevent against fleas and ticks. Heartgard is an oral medication that protects against heartworm and other intestinal parasites. There is a Seresto collar that can be worm by dogs to prevent flea and tick infections for up to 8 months. I recommend reaching out to your local vet to see which products they have available. I hope this is helpful!
