Flea measures have changed considerably over the years. The flea dust that your local hardware store used to sell may not be the best choice compared to some of the more advanced options of today. As a customer, it is difficult to navigate pharmaceutical companies’ promotional material and thousands of conflicting websites about flea pills.
Fortunately, you don’t have to make a decision yourself. Your veterinarian knows a lot more about the different options and can guide you to the most effective option for your dog.
More importantly, your veterinarian is aware of possible side effects and medication interactions between flea pills and other preventive agents and prescriptions.
Your veterinarian can let you know if there is an aptitude for side effects of the breed and if there is anything else in your dog’s medical history that may be relevant.
