Credelio Plus is an advanced parasitic treatment for dogs, combining flea, tick, and heartworm protection in a single chewable tablet that provides up to 30 days of protection. Safe for puppies as young as 8 weeks old and weighing at least 4.4 pounds, Credelio Plus starts killing fleas within 4 hours and achieves nearly 100% efficacy within 12 hours. It also provides excellent efficacy against several types of ticks, including black-legged ticks, American dog ticks, and lone star ticks, within 48 hours, and protects against heartworm, roundworms, and hookworms. Regular use ensures your dog remains free from harmful parasites.
Credelio Plus contains the active ingredients lotilaner and milbemycin oxime, which inhibit the nervous system of parasites, leading to their rapid death. These ingredients are absorbed quickly, starting to work within hours to provide fast and reliable protection against a broad spectrum of parasites.
