BUT, Tawny is the mighty huntress and often catches geckos/lizards on the lanai. She doesn’t eat them, but you know how they lose their tails. The vet said she probably got the hookworms from that. You have to have prescription drops for the ones that include internal parasites. They are pretty expensive, except if you are a member and get them from Sam’s. The plus membership price for prescriptions is less expensive than the regular membership. Still not dirt cheap, but much less expensive than ordering from a vet. Sam’s also sells prescriptions for dogs.

Looking at Chewy most of the more notable brands still require a prescription. I don't know how effective the non prescription medications are but it's good to see it comes in a chewable form now.
Also if you have rocks around your house you're less likely to have fleas around.
