Hi everyone. I have a 5 yr old dutch named Mako who is the best dog I have ever owned. Comes fro champion bloodlines fro Char Car kennels. Awesome breeder!
Have a question for you experts: What are the best heartworm and flea and tick meds to use? Thank you in advance...

Tell us about yourself: I'm a first time DS owner... And now a lifetime owner of the breed. I have Karma.. she's almost 2 now and is incredible. Great protection dog for my family and the most athletic dog I've ever witnessed.

I'm definitely no expert but Karma has been on the once a month trifexis for over two years now. We live in Georgia. There are plenty of fleas and ticks around but we haven't had the first one which is unbelievable for me. It seems to work well and is inexpensive. Around $24 a month.

I was told frontline was the best flea and tick by my vet and the same vet also has Zoey on interceptor plus as a heart worm and intestinal parasite preventative.

We use trifexis. Never had a flea or tick problem, but we used Frontline for our previous dogs with the same results.

BTW - South Florida is a Flea and Tick haven.

Welcome

I’ve used frontline on my golden, never had a tick problem.
I don’t believe trifexis works for ticks, only fleas.
Goodluck!
