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.
Dog oral flea tablets provide systemic protection against fleas and can be an effective option for controlling infestations.
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.
Year-round prevention is recommended.

But spot on treatment and tablet medications are the only effective long-term methods of flea control. Spot on treatments are products whereby liquid is applied to the skin at the back of a pet’s neck. They have become a very popular and effective method of flea control. Flea medication administered in tablet form is also a good option, if you find it difficult to give your pet a spot on treatment or if they swim or are bathed often. It works by preventing the development of eggs into fleas, eliminating new generations all together. You should speak to your vet about your dog's flea treatment needs. Always follow your vet's advice when considering flea treatment for your dog. It's best to ask your vet for advice on a suitable treatment for your dog. Make sure you're using the appropriate size for your dog's weight.
