Flea and tick chews - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Those of you who give a chewable flea and tick prevention what do you give? I have been using Nexguard for years and love it but with 4 it’s expensive like $230 for 12 chews.

I use NexGard. That's what Vet recommended for Gidget. I get mine from petmeds.com. Pkg of 12 or up to 10# dog is $219.68. Pkg of 12 for dog over 10# is $222.94 with free shipping. I know it's expensive but flea infestation and tick disease scare me into paying this price

My vet recommended Simparica, this is Cody's 3rd summer using it, no fleas or ticks.

I like Simparica. It's a bit cheaper than Nexgard on my vet's online pharmacy. I've never had any bad reactions. I think it actually covers one more extra tick than Nexgard, maybe?

I just checked. On my vets online pharmacy, Simparica is $183 for 12 pack of the 11-22lb size. Nexgard is $236 for the 12 pack in the 10-24lb range.

1-800-PETMEDS Simparica 12 pack $138.52 for a 11-22 lb dog.

That’s a pretty good savings.

I may have to try Simparica. I only buy from my vet of their online pharmacy to many issues with counterfeit products for me to feel comfortable buying else where. I have been buying Ollie’s nexguard one at a time because I know he is going to at least hit that 10 pound mark.

I understand your concern with counterfeits because there are a lot of unscrupulous people in this world but 800PETMEDS is a reputable and reliable source (over 10 millions customers). With 4 dogs your savings would be in the hundreds of dollars. Do what you feel most comfortable with but if you research that company you may feel comfortable with them. The reviews I have read are excellent
