Credelio Plus (Lotilaner+Milbemycin Oxime)
-
Description
Credelio Plus is a prescription flea and tick medication for dogs that also prevents heartworms and other parasitic worms like hookworms, whipworms, and roundworms. This makes it an all-in-one parasite protection solution that requires nothing more from dog owners than giving their pet one of the flavored chewable flea and tick killer tablets once a month. The first active ingredient, Lotaliner, is absorbed into the bloodstream and kills fleas and ticks when they bite the animal. The second, Milbemycin oxime, is metabolized in the large intestine and kills worms there as they attempt to establish themselves in the larval stage.
You can buy Credelio Plus with a prescription, and your best Credelio Plus price will be when your order it from World Pet Express.
Directions
Give your pet one Credelio plus chewable once a month, and at the same time each month. Administer Credelio Plus with food or within 30 minutes of feeding to allow for the dog having peak blood levels and exposure.
