Vet Q & AWhat's the safest tick and flea treatment for my pug and my family?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
If you have access to the oral flea and tick preventatives (Nexgard, Simparica or Bravecto) they work the best. Or the Seresto Collar (lasts for 8 months). Otherwise I would use the spot on (advantixx, etc).
I hope this helps!
