Thanks for reaching out! Choosing the right flea and tick medication for your furry friend is important for their health and comfort. There are several options available, including topical treatments, oral medications, and collars. Each type has its pros and cons, depending on your pet's lifestyle and your preferences.
Topical treatments are applied directly to the skin and are effective in killing fleas and ticks. They can be a good choice if you prefer a monthly application. Oral medications are another great option that can provide effective protection, often lasting for a month or more. These are convenient because they eliminate the risk of washing off with baths or swimming. Flea collars are another long-term option, offering protection usually for several months.
It's crucial to use medications specifically designed for your pet's species and weight. Always follow the instructions on the label and consult with a vet to choose the best fit for your pet's specific needs.
In addition to using the right medication, keeping your home and yard clean and vacuumed can help reduce flea infestations. Be on the lookout for signs such as excessive scratching, hair loss, or visible fleas, which might indicate a serious infestation requiring professional treatment.
To ensure you're choosing the safest and most effective option for your pet, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. This will allow us to discuss your pet's individual circumstances and provide tailored advice.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
