Exciting news! There is now an annual injection that offers year-round flea and tick protection for dogs which is now available at Belmont Vet 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

In addition to its effectiveness, administering this injectable preventative alongside your pet’s annual vaccination and heartworm prevention is both safe and convenient. Not only does it begin killing fleas within two days and ticks within three days after administration, but it also eliminates the need for monthly treatments. Instead, with one simple annual injection, you can protect your dog and enjoy peace of mind all year long.

What pets are eligible?

This parasite prevention option is suitable for dogs and puppies aged six months and over, as long as they have reached their mature body weight. However, it is not recommended for dogs with hypersensitivity, or epilepsy, or for breeding dogs (whether pregnant, lactating, or planning to breed in the next 12 months).

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. Moreover, it is also effective in treating flea infestations and controlling flea allergy dermatitis, making it a comprehensive solution for your dog’s health.
