Prescription Topical Flea & Tick Treatment for Dogs

Keep biting pests off your dog with topical flea and tick medication. Chewy carries many types of prescription topical flea medicine, tick medicine, and non-prescription topical flea and tick products, too. Most topicals are designed to kill both fleas and ticks and to provide continuous protection over several weeks.

Before you buy prescription topical flea & tick medication online at Chewy, be sure to research your different flea control options and talk to your vet. The best flea & tick medication

will be easy to administer, suited to your dog’s lifestyle, and effective for the climate you live in, and topicals can be a great choice. Your vet can advise you on whether a prescription topical product, an oral product or a non-prescription flea and tick treatment would be best for your dog. If you have a very young pup, you should talk to your veterinarian about prescription topical medicine for puppies and whether it might be a good choice for your furry friend.

If you choose a topical flea control medicine, using it is fairly easy: you simply apply the solution to the skin on the dog’s neck—choose a place where he can’t easily scratch or lick it off—and you’re done. Most prescription flea topicals for dogs offer long-lasting pest deterrence that can last for a month or more and they’re usually water-resistant, too.

Some pet parents like the convenience of oral flea and tick medication, especially the formulas that include heartworm medicine in one easy dose. Your vet can advise you on this and other prescription medications your pets may need. The Chewy pet pharmacy has most of the medicines your vet might prescribe for your pets, including flea & tick medication for cats, other prescription dog medicine, and medications for other types of pets as well.
