We use credleio Quattro. It is taken monthly and covers fleas, ticks, and heartworm.

Advantix II, or its generic equivalent. Apply to back 1x/month.

All containing isoxazoline are tagged as a seizure risk. All that are 90 day types contain it.
You can use K9 Advantix II or Vectra 3D (vets prefer this) instead. Neither has that chemical. Both are monthly liquid on their back.

This IS an isoxazoline product. Causes seizures and should be avoided.

Trifexis is not an isoxazoline. It is used for flea and heartworm prevention but does not provide tick protection.
