Fleas and ticks are irritating pesky parasites, and they trouble our beloved furry friends. To keep our canine friends safe and protected from parasitic infestation and to eliminate them from their fur and skin, you need an appropriate flea and tick treatment. Credelio for dogs is an effective flea and tick treatment. Let’s learn about this product:

Credelio for Dogs – Overview

Credelio for dogs is one of the most trusted treatments for getting rid of biting parasites. It is a beef-flavored, gluten-free chewable tablet to kill adult fleas and control four types of ticks and treat flea and tick infestations. This oral-monthly-treatment can be administered to dogs and puppies of 8 weeks of age and older, weighing about 4.4 pounds or more.

Credelio – Composition and Packs

Credelio is composed of Lotilaner; the active ingredient that is gentle on your dog and tough on ticks and fleas. It comes in 3, 6, and 12 dose packages and in different sizes depending on your dog’s weight.

Dogs above 100lbs should be dosed in an appropriate combination of chewable tablets, with your vet’s consultation.   

Credelio can be given with food, and treatment with it can begin in any season of the year and must continue around the year without interruption. If you missed a dose, give it immediately once you remember and continue the monthly dosage accordingly.

Credelio – Protection

Credelio is a fast-acting protection for puppies and dogs. It protects against ticks and fleas, and prevents flea infestations. Credelio treats tick infestations including American dog tick, lone star tick, brown dog tick and black-legged tick.

How does Credelio work?          

The active ingredient in Credelio, lotilaner, is from the isoxazoline family and is an ‘ectoparasiticide’. This means that Credelio kills fleas and ticks that reside in the fur or on the skin of dogs. When fleas and ticks bite on the dog’s skin and feed on its blood, the lotilaner present in the dog’s blood reacts and attacks the nerve receptors of ticks and fleas. This process results in uncontrolled nervous system activity, paralysis of the insects and causing the death of fleas and ticks.

The super-active content of Credelio kills adult fleas even before they can lay eggs, hence avoids further contamination of your pet’s environment.
