sallyandtex Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 A lady at the park told me that her vet gives her dog a new 2 monthly tablet that protects against ticks and fleas for 2 months She can't remember the name of it. Anyone know what she talking about it costs $50 per tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sallyandtex Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 I'm not aware of any such thing. Is there any vet nurses out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappie Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I'm not aware of it either. There is new product from Elanco that does heartworm, fleas and intestinal worms but I don't know of any long acting tablets for fleas and ticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I think she's confused, a lot of people aren't very clear about what preventatives they use or what they're called. I've heard some doozys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I just did a very quick google search and Proban tablets pop in the results although I wasn't of the belief that Proban was used for ticks. For my guys (a small Aussie Terrier and a medium Beagle cross) I use Comfortis for fleas and Frontline Plus for ticks every 2 weeks. I buy the Frontline Plus for XL dogs and apply the correct dosage with a 30 cent syringe from the chemist. One vial of XL dog Frontline Plus is the equivalent of buying a 6 month supply of small dog Frontline Plus. So much cheaper!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Proban is for ticks too but it is taken every other day (or thereabouts), not monthly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the Rebel Wolf Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I haven't seen and heard of any tablets for ticks, no. Comfortis and Capstar are the two flea tablets I know well, and the price doesn't sound right for either of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallyandtex Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Ok thought it was too good to be true. Maybe her vet is swindling her , I'll ask her again next time I see her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
