Excellent customer service for this product!
By 5dodge on Aug 21, 2018
My dog is very sensitive to flea/tick and heartworm medications and I was worried about changing her current flea/tick medication to Credelio. She has had two doses so far and has tolerated both very well. The Chewy folks were very helpful in contacting my vet for the prescription, and I received the product in just two days. YAY CHEWY!!!!!!!!!!
