![]() ![]() While it is often effective for canine heartworm prevention as well, I have heard of rare lapses in protection, so I usually combine this topical in dogs with one of the oral heartworm prevention medications like heartguard or interceptor. With the increased recognition and understanding of feline heartworm disease, this is often the first heartworm preventative that I will reach for in cats, especially given all of the other beneifts above. It is amazing how many dogs will respond to this treatment, leading me to believe that scabies mites are involved with alot more itching problems in dogs than I first learned about in vet school. In fact, when either I or veterinary dermatologists are presented with a very itchy dog, in addition to our allergy workups, we will often treat with this topical every few weeks to treat and rule out any hidden scabies mites contributing to the pet's itching. For dogs, there is also the wonderful treatment benefit of killing hidden scabies mites on the skin, which are so difficult for veterinarians to find on routine skin scrapings at our offices. In both cats and dogs, all 3 stages of the flea life cycle are effectively controlled,in addition to ear mites. This versatile topical product has the widest range of protection of both internal and external parasites. Safe for Breeding, Pregnant or Nursing PetsĦ weeks of age or older in puppies, 8 weeks of age or older in kittens, and no weight requirementĤ weeks of age or older and weighing over 2 lbs Ear mites, Roundworms, and Hookworms in cats Ear mites,Sarcoptic Mange and American dog ticks in dogs
