Vet Q & A
Can my dog have Skippy pretzel bites when taking Trifexis?
Pretzel bites are ok as well. Either is fine in this case. : ) Trifexis isn't the best smelling flea/heartworm preventative, so I understand the struggle with trying to make it more palatable for her. Best wishes with your pet Snowball moving forward! Take care.

Vet Q & A
Is it okay to switch my new adopted dog from Sentinel to Trifexis?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Switching to Trifexis is fine. Just be aware that Trifexis doesn't get ticks (neither does Sentinel, it is just heartworm, GI parasites and sterilized female fleas). I hope this helps!

Vet Q & A
Choosing flea, tick, heartworm meds: Revolution, Advantix, Heartgard?
Congratulations on your new dog! I like Revolution if you are looking for a topical product. It consistently works well and is well tolerated. If you like the idea of an oral product better, I like Trifexis (it’s another all in one product). Sometimes though the pets can smell the Trifexis and they won’t eat it. In that instance, I like Simparica and Interceptor. My personal preference is oral products. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Vet Q & A
Puppy on TriFexis: Need oral tick prevention. What are my options?
It is generally not recommended to use two oral products together. It's not to say it's impossible but many of these companies have not done the testing to know if there are interactions. You may discuss this with your regular vet to see if they have any experience with this. Most topical flea and tick products are expected to be safe to use with Trifexis. There is also a collar called a Preventic which is fine to use with oral products. Most people only put the collar on the pet when it is going out to tick areas and they remove it when the pet is not in those areas. Another option is to ask your vet if they would exchange the product for something like Simparica and Interceptor which would get all your parasite concerns. Some clients will also switch products when ticks are in season or when exposure is expected and then switch back once the exposure time is over. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Vet Q & A
Puppy meds: Can I give Trifexis and dewormer at the same time?
Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, these medications are safe to give together. I recommend offering a small meal or treat beforehand so that there is a little food in her stomach before getting these medications. She can also get a small tasty treat afterward so she knows she a good girl! I hope this is helpful - she is VERY cute!
