What is lotilaner, the active ingredient in Credelio?
Lotilaner is a member of the isoxazoline class of parasiticides. It has acaracidal and insecticidal activity, and acts as an inhibitor of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)–gated chloride channels (GABACls).
Can Credelio be given to dogs with food allergies?
Credelio tablets are made with a beef flavoring containing pork liver and soy but no actual beef. Tablets also contain barley, wheat and lactose. Consult your veterinarian before using in dogs with food allergies to pork, soy, barley, wheat or lactose.
What is the acceptability/ palatability of Credelio
In a field trial, the acceptability of credelio was tested at 10 different locations across the u.s. 94% of dogs accepted Credelio from the hand, in the bowl or with food. The remaining 6% accepted Credelio when placed in the mouth. There were no reports of unsuccessful dosing.
The positive control in the u.s. field trial was Nexgard® (afoxolaner). Acceptability results were very similar, with only 4% reaching the “placed in mouth” stage. Also, Nexgard had no reports of unsuccessful dosing.
What is the shelf life of Credelio?
Please reference the individual packaging of Credelio for the expiration date.
How long does a Credelio tablet remain stable outside the blister pack?
No stability testing has been performed on tablets once they have been removed from the blister pack. We do not recommend taking the tablets out of the blister pack for storage in another container. Credelio tablets should only be taken out of the blister pack at the time of dosing.
Is Credelio gluten-free?

Livestock Guardian Dogs
By DGRanch on Jul 30, 2020
Credelio has been a life saver for our guardians. The ticks and fleas in our area were becoming resistant to several of the other brands we tried. These dogs free range while protecting the farm animals from predators. They get lots of fleas and ticks, including Lyme disease. Credelio solved the problem. No fleas at all and any tick that bites is dead. No more tiny larval ticks to find and no big bloated gross dog ticks to pull. My friends claim there is no more night time scratching waking them up. Lets just hope these pests don't develop resistance.

No seizures
By Bruh on Aug 20, 2020
My dog’s vet recommended this when I told her about my concerns of dogs having seizures taking other popular flea and tick prevention chews. This one, Credelio, doesn’t cause seizures like the other ones. My good boy loved the chew and is a particular Doby.

great preventative!
By Placemat on Jul 16, 2020
Gave our dog one dose and found a dead tick on him a couple weeks after, so I’m glad to see how effective this preventative is! Our boxer/hound mix eats it with his food no problem and the chewy pharmacy was very easy to order from - just submitted the request and they contacted the vet and everything was handled quickly!

Great if you have children and love to be outdoors
By Kristy on Apr 23, 2020
We love Credelio, our Vet recommended it to us when our dog was a puppy. We have small children that love to cuddle with the dog so I wanted something that was not topical. We also are outdoors and on our 40 acres walking around the woods on a weekly basis so we really needed something that works well. Archie gobbled this up when he was a puppy but now it takes some coaxing but it isn’t terrible. Last month we ran out and didn’t have an appointment to renew his script right away stupidly we went out into the woods and with out being on Credelio he had gotten 6 ticks! Since having his meds we haven’t found anything on himself we have been out multiple times!

Great Rx service from Chewy!
By Freed on Jun 20, 2020
This medication is super broad spectrum, essential for my collie because we live in the woods and there are mosquitoes, ticks, nats, deer flies, black flies, and everything else that flies. This medicine kills and repells it all. Chewy Rx is the best!

Above & Beyond
By MrZee on May 5, 2020
Exceptional customer service & follow up! Called Vet for script within hrs of submitting order, prompt reply to inquiring email and delivery in less than a week even after stating delay in processing orders because of major increase in volume due to COVID. Thank you to everyone involved.

By Macx on Jul 25, 2020
I do not use that heartworm med= I use Heartguard....therefore I can't order Credelio!

This is expensive to buy from Chewy
By Georgesmom on Apr 30, 2020
I pay about half the price directly from my vet but because of Covid 19 I am unable to pick up the meds from their office. I have to wrestle the dog to take this monthly but the vet says it works.
