Fleas and ticks carry diseases that are much easier to prevent than treat, especially ticks. Our veterinarian panel rounded up their top choices for best flea and tick medications based on their clinical observations, effectiveness of the product on patients, safety, cost, and other contributing factors. When selecting the right flea and tick preventative for your pup, it’s important to chat with your vet first to determine what makes sense based on their age and health. Your vet can also help you find the best flea and tick preventative depending on your dog’s lifestyle and whether a capsule, chew, or topical preventative would be better suited. Some flea and tick options also offer additional benefits, such as protection against heartworms or hookworms. Keep in mind, flea and tick preventatives for dogs only work when given on time, and when following the manufacturer’s directions on dosing.

Some treatments are administered monthly, while others may last for several months. It's essential to follow the instructions provided by the specific flea treatment product you choose. Spot-on flea treatments are usually liquid and applied to the skin, typically between the shoulder blades or along the back. These treatments contain insecticides that are absorbed into the dog's body through the skin, entering the bloodstream - when fleas come into contact with the treated area; they are killed or repelled. Some spot-on treatments also have additional ingredients to prevent flea eggs from hatching, such as Frontline Plus. Flea tablets, also known as oral flea medications, are ingested by the dog. These tablets contain chemicals that are absorbed into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. When fleas bite the dog, they are exposed to these chemicals, which either kill the fleas directly or disrupt their life cycle, preventing them from reproducing.
