Flea and tick products are products used to prevent and control flea and tick infestations in pets. These products can be in the form of topical solutions, collars, oral medication, sprays, shampoos, and powders. They work by killing or repelling fleas and ticks on the animal’s fur and skin. These products contain active ingredients such as fipronil, imidacloprid, selamectin, pyrethrins, and permethrin. It is important to choose the right product for your pet and follow the instructions carefully, as some products may not be suitable for certain animals or may require special precautions.

I know this is a bit of a different format than my usual videos and it’s very basic. I figured if you all like it I can always expand on the topic

I got Revolution Plus a prescription from my vet. They said that was the best one. I didn’t see that on your chart?
Alot of the people who are against flea and tick medicine say that because of the side effects and deaths related to them they can’t be trusted. I was wondering, since you know way more than me, if you could explain why Simparica Trio has caused or may have caused thousands of pets to die. Data from FDA of reported adverse reactions and deaths after administration of flea & tick treatments-
Simparica Trio (2020-2021) – 140,646 reactions 6,717 deaths
I was thinking of using it for my future dog but I am a little apprehensive.
What is the risk of giving an oral treatment like nexgard/bravecto to a dog that MIGHT have an already lower seizure threshold due to breed/genetics but has made it to adulthood (6+) without having one? My understanding is that any seizure can damage the brain permanently. If this is a concern, is there testing that can be done beforehand, or would sticking with something like the “oldies but goodies” be a better route to discuss with the vet?
