Trifexis

[Deets]

I am moving to Oklahoma from Colorado in a few months. I will have to start treating for heartworm and fleas. Has anyone had experince with Trifexis? My parents suggested it. Apparently it protects against heart worm, roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms and kills fleas.

My clients like it and it's usually what we recommend although, at around $100 for a six month supply, it is a big up front cost. You will need an additional product for ticks, which are about to carry us off already. I use and recommend the Preventic collar.

I use it on my dogs and have been very happy with it. It does have about 2 weeks of effectiveness against ticks, but not the whole 30 days, so thats why it doesnt carry the label for ticks. I agree with casey, add a preventic collar to it and you should be set.

I have been giving 1,000 - 1,500 mcgs of ivermectin once a month for two years now and except for a coouple Jan-March ticks, when I am not giving the Ivermectin, I haven't seen either a flea or tick.

In Spring and Fall, I probably will still use the generic Frontline.

I use it and have had no problems.

While sitting in the waiting room at the vet last week, I believe I heard the vet tech tell a woman who came in for flea /tick that the office had switched from Vectra 3D to Trifexis (unless there is another medication that sounds very similiar). She said it was effective against both fleas and ticks. Obviously not disagreeing with you Dog Dr, merely wondering if it has been found to be more effective than previously thought?

I take my pup to the vet again next week for a lyme and lepto booster so I'll ask for a clarification and report back.
