Flea and Tick Buying Guide

If your dog or cat likes to frolic in the grass in the late spring and summer months, they may be bringing in some fleas or ticks into your home. Since fleas and ticks are small and can be difficult to see, it's important to ask your veterinarian if you notice your pet itching, biting, or scratching their fur. If you do see fleas or ticks on your pets or around the house, you have a few options.

How do I get rid of fleas and ticks?

  • Spot treatments: Spot-on treatments are easy-to-apply gels that are generally placed on the back of your pet's neck. These treatments can last up to 30 days, can relieve your pet of itching and discomfort, and help prevent future infestations. Shop the spot treatment categories to find topical treatments for both dogs and cats.
  • Collars: If you're looking for something that can protect your pet through the flea and tick season, a flea collar is a good option. Available for both dogs and cats, flea and tick collars can keep your pet pest-free for up to 8 months.
  • Oral medications: Oral medications are a great option if your pet has sensitive skin or you're looking for a no-mess solution. These pills are generally taken on a monthly basis and serve as both a form of treatment and prevention from future flea and tick infestations.
  • Shampoos, combs, and wipes: Shampoos, combs, wipes, and other grooming products are an affordable and immediate solution to flea and tick problems. They can help get rid of fleas and ticks from your pet's fur and can be used in combination with other treatments.
  • Home and yard treatments: Keeping your home and backyard pest-free is especially important when dealing with a persistent flea and tick problem. Shop the selection of home, carpet, and yard sprays to keep pests at bay. While these are great for your home or backyard, they can't be used directly on your pets.
