Why Flea and Tick Prevention is Essential
Fleas and ticks are not just a nuisance; they pose serious health risks to your pet. From causing skin irritations and allergic reactions to transmitting dangerous diseases, these parasites need to be kept under control. The good news is, there are various ways to protect your pet, including chewable flea and tick tablets, spot-on treatments, and other solutions.
How Do Chewable Flea and Tick Tablets Work?
Chewable flea and tick tablets, such as FrontPro, are an easy and effective way to protect your pet from parasites. These tablets contain active ingredients that kill fleas and ticks by entering your pet’s bloodstream. When a flea or tick bites your pet, it ingests the treatment and dies quickly.
The benefits of chewable flea tablets include:
- Fast-acting protection, often killing fleas within hours.
- Easy to administer – no messy application like spot-on treatments.
- Waterproof – unlike spot-on treatments, there is no need to wait before bathing your pet.
- Long-lasting protection, typically up to a month per tablet.

-
Flea collars: Provide long-term protection but may not be as effective against heavy infestations.
-
Shampoos and sprays: Useful for killing fleas on contact but do not provide ongoing protection.
