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?

Credelio Flea & Tick Tablets
By HoneyBearMom on Dec 14, 2020
Seems to work overall for the most part. However, it is a once monthly tablet, and about a week before pet is due for next dose, he starts scratching. This is every month since he's been on Credelio (1 year, 7 months).

Switch from Nexgard
By AgilityMom on Sep 29, 2020
My vet recently recommended that we switch from Nexgard to Credelio. She said that she preferred Credelio to Nexgard. However, she did say that either was fine. I'm glad we switched, if for no reason than my dog likes the Credelio soft chew. (He did not like the Nexgard soft chew which meant I needed to crush it and mix it with soft cheese.)

Great service
By Laurabella on Nov 8, 2020
My 4 dogs are all on different preventative schedules, so ordering the quality products they need is so much more convenient than making special trips way over to my vets office.

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.
