Exciting news! There is now an annual injection which offers year-round flea and tick protection for dogs which is now available at Sweet Pea Animal Hospital. This new injectable parasiticide for dogs is effective against fleas and ticks, including the paralysis tick which poses a deadly threat at any time of year, not just in the warmer months.
How it works
The annual injection can only be administered under the supervision of veterinarians. It takes 3 days to exert its full effect. The unique formulation allows for a sustained release of the active ingredient, fluralaner.
The benefits
Administering the injectable preventative alongside your pet’s annual vaccination and heartworm prevention is safe and convenient. It begins to kill fleas within two days and ticks within three days after administration. Rather than the usual monthly doses, you can now protect your dog in one simple annual injection and enjoy peace of mind that your dog will be shielded all year.
What pets are eligible?
Dogs and puppies aged six months and over (and have reached their mature body weight).
It is not recommended for dogs with hypersensitivity or epilepsy, or for breeding dogs (pregnant, lactating or planning to breed in the next 12-month period).
The parasites it protects against
This groundbreaking advance in parasite prevention provides up to a full year of protection against paralysis ticks, brown dog ticks, and fleas. It is also effective in treating flea infestations and controlling flea allergy dermatitis.
