Credelio Flea and Tick Chewable Tablets for Dogs and Puppies are indicated for the control and treatment of flea infestations and various tick species, including brown dog ticks and black-legged ticks. This fast-acting formula provides monthly protection, and the beef-flavored chewables are made without meat ingredients, making them safe for dogs with allergies.How it Works

The active ingredient in Credelio (known as Lotilaner) is an ectoparasiticide that works through rendering the skin of an ectoparasite's host uninhabitable. Ectoparasites are parasitic insects and Acari (mites/ticks) that live on the outside of their host, generally on the skin. Credelio deals with their infestation by stopping the parasites' ability to transfer GABA chloride across cell membranes. Because these chemicals are essential to the maintenance of neuromuscular homeostasis, their inhibition results in the parasites' death, leaving your dog happy and flea/tick free. Note* this medication is selectively toxic, and may affect mammals in different ways.
