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.

Flea infestation
By Jerry on Oct 28, 2019
We were having a flea issue on both of our dogs and the Vet prescribed Credelio Blue. We had never used Chewy for prescriptions, but found they cost less and it was delivered to our door step. Fleas are gone. We recommend the Chewy convenience to all our friends with animals and busy life styles.

HIGHLY Recommend
By Steph on Oct 6, 2019
I LOVE this product! I adopted my puppy from a farm in NC, and he mainly stayed outside so naturally he had fleas when I brought him home. I took him to his first vets appt within a few days of coming home, and Credelio came in my puppy package as a new client. Within 12 hours of giving him the chewable, he was completely 100% free of fleas and I was no longer finding flea dirt everywhere. I will use this product forever!

Saved my dog's skin and sanity
By Pann91 on Sep 9, 2019
This may not work for every dog, and I was hesitant to try it after hearing about adverse reactions and seizures from oral flea treatments. My dog gets awful flea dermatitis from even a couple bites. He would chew his skin bloody if left unattended even for a few minutes. I had repeatedly treated him with K9 Advantix, Frontline, and many natural products all summer after his Seresto collar stopped working, gave him so many baths that his skin dried out and flaked. After a dose of Credelio, his skin is finally healing a couple of weeks later and fur is growing back. He has significantly less itching and no fleas.

Great product!
By Jess on Nov 3, 2019
I live in a very high tick area and my guys stay tick free on this! There are other products that work well, but I love how it comes in a decent sized tablet to hide in a piece of cheese!

Credelio Chewable Tablet for Dogs
By Momo on Aug 14, 2019
Our one and one half year old Golden Retriever did not respond well with monthly topical flea killer applications. He would not eat for at least a day and had diarrhea. He has not side effects with Credelio and of course, no flees.

Credelio Chewable Tablet for dogs 50,1 -100 lbs. (Blue box)
By kdv8 on May 18, 2019
Credelio has now made a tablet for larger dogs, where I only need to give one tablet to my 60 lb. Aussie. I always give her any tablet about an hour after she has eaten. I don't give her them on an empty stomach. My vet makes me get a prescription and then I need to mail to Chewy, some vets will just give Chewy the OK, when Chewy calls a vet.

No Fleas or Ticks!
By 2lab1rescuemom on Jul 26, 2019
Expensive but worth it! Just wish you didn’t have to buy a whole box at one time, also requires prescription.
