Advantage Multi® for Cats contains two active ingredients: Imidacloprid (10 mg/kg) and Moxidectin (1.0 mg/kg).

Imidacloprid spreads over the skin and coat to kill fleas through contact so they do not have to bite to die. 

Moxidectin is quickly absorbed through the skin into the subcutaneous fat and the bloodstream to prevent heartworm disease, treat and control internal parasites, and treat ear mites in cats.  

Use monthly (every 30 days), year-round, to kill fleas, treat flea infestations, treat and control ear mites, hookworms and roundworms, and prevent heartworm disease.  

The recommended minimum dose is 4.5 mg/lb. (10 mg/kg) imidacloprid and 0.45 mg/lb (1.0 mg/kg) moxidectin once a month by topical administration. Administer the entire contents of the Advantage Multi for Cats tube that correctly corresponds with the body weight of the cat.

9.10% imidacloprid 

0.46% pyriproxyfen 

Imidacloprid attacks the flea's nervous system — paralyzing and ultimately killing it. Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that mimics the juvenile growth hormone of fleas; this prevents immature flea stages from molting into the next stage of the life cycle and keeps them from developing into adult fleas. It also offers additional larvicidal properties when compared with imidacloprid alone. 

Advantage® II for Cats can be applied monthly, year-round to keep your patients protected from fleas. A single application of Advantage® II for Cats stops biting fleas for one month. 

However, if the cat has a severe infestation, re-treatment within a month may be necessary. Do not re-treat more often than once every 14 days for kittens or once every 7 days for small and large cats; after flea control is attained, your client can return to a monthly re-treatment schedule. 

Advantage® II for Cats is available in three weight bands: 

Advantage® II Kitten, 2-5lbs 

1 Sleeve of 6 2-Packs (o.23 mL tubes) 

Advantage® II Small cat, 5-9 lbs. 

1 Sleeve of 6 4-Packs (0.4 mL tubes) 

1 Sleeve of 6 6-Packs (0.4 mL tubes) 

Advantage® II Large cat, over 9 lbs. 

1 Sleeve of 6 4-Packs (0.8 mL tubes) 

1 Sleeve of 6 6-Packs (0.8 mL tubes) 

With an IGR (insect growth regulator) as part of your practice’s flea control plan, the flea life cycle is disrupted at multiple stages through different active ingredients and modes of action. This is often referred to as integrated flea control (IFC). The addition of an IGR to Advantage® II provides ovicidal properties, as well as additional larvicidal properties, to target flea infestations and kill flea life stages. 

9.10% imidacloprid 

0.46% pyriproxyfen 

 Imidacloprid attacks the flea's nervous system — paralyzing and ultimately killing them. 

An insect growth regulator (IGR), such as pyriproxyfen, inhibits the development of flea eggs by mimicking the juvenile growth hormone. This ingredient prevents immature flea stages from molting into the next stage of the life cycle and keeps them from developing into adult fleas. It also offers additional larvicidal properties when compared with imidacloprid alone.

One treatment of Advantage® II for Dogs II is effective for 1 month. In cases of severe flea infestation, re-treatment may be necessary earlier than 4 weeks; clients should not re-treat more often than every 7 days. After flea control is attained, your patient can return to a monthly treatment schedule. 

Advantage® II for Dogs is available in four weight bands. Each weight band is available in 4- or 6-packs: 

3-10 pounds, small dog

Yes, Advantage® II for Dogs waterproof after 24 hours. There is no need for clients to reapply the product after weekly swimming or a bath. For best results, it's recommended to use a non-detergent shampoo. 

Each mL of injectable solution contains 22.7 mg enrofloxacin.

Baytril® Injectable Solution may be used as the initial dose at 2.5 mg/kg. It should be administered intramuscularly as a single dose, followed by initiation of Baytril^® Tablet therapy 12 hours later. 

Each ML contains:

• 5 mg enrofloxacin
• 10 mg silver sulfadiazine (SSD)

Silver sulfadiazine is used to treat infections. It attacks on the outside of the infection by breaking down cell wall membranes. SSD is effective against Gram (+) cocci, Gram (-) rods and budding yeast.

It is best practice to confirm Pseudomonas ear infections with cytology. A quick and inexpensive cytology test can find bacteria, yeast and inflammatory cells to determine rods, cocci and yeast organisms and can help you prescribe the best course of treatment.

Shake well before each use.

Tilt head so that the affected ear is presented in an upward orientation. Administer a sufficient quantity of Baytril® Otic to coat the aural lesions and the external auditory canal. As a general guide, administer 5-10 drops per treatment in dogs weighing 35 lbs. or less and 10-15 drops per treatment in dogs weighing more than 35 lbs. Following treatment, gently massage the ear so as to ensure complete and uniform distribution of the medication throughout the external ear canal. Apply twice daily for a duration of up to 14 days.

Baytril® Otic can be purchased in multiples of 12. Supplied as 15 mL bottles with dropper tips and extended tip closures, in boxes of 12 bottles each.

The active ingredient is enrofloxacin.

Dogs: Administer orally at a rate to provide 5-20 mg/kg (2.27 to 9.07 mg/lb) of body weight. Selection of a dose within the range should be based on clinical experience, the severity of disease, and susceptibility of the pathogen. Animals which receive doses in the upper end of the dose range should be carefully monitored for clinical signs that may include inappetence, depression, and vomiting.

Cats: Administer orally at 5 mg/kg (2.27 mg/lb) of body weight.

Dogs & Cats: The duration of treatment should be selected based on clinical evidence.

The dose for dogs and cats may be administered either as a single daily dose or divided into two (2) equal daily doses administered at twelve (12) hour intervals. The dose should be continued for at least 2-3 days beyond cessation of clinical signs, to a maximum of 30 days.

Bexagliflozin

For cats weighing 6.6 lbs. (3.0 kg) or greater, the dosing amount is one tablet by mouth per day and will not change based on blood glucose level.

No. Bexacat is only indicated for otherwise healthy diabetic cats that have not been previously treated with insulin.

Bexacat inhibits SGLT2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2), a membrane protein found in the kidney that is responsible for reabsorbing most of the glucose from the glomerular filtrate back into circulation.

No. Do not use Bexacat in cats who have previously been treated with insulin, who are receiving insulin, or in cats with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

The use of Bexacat in cats with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, or the withdrawal of insulin and initiation of Bexacat, is associated with an increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis or euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis and death.

Bexacat can be given with or without food.

Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody is delivered in unique packaging designed to keep it at ≤ -15°C or ≤ 5°F and should be stored frozen. This freezer box is required for proper storage in a standard refrigerator/freezer combo unit.

This innovative freezer box is environmentally safe and sustainable, containing Enviro Ice™ gel packs – the only eco-friendly ice packs that are 100% drain-safe and easily recyclable into plant food. 

Content uniformity of whole and half tablets has not been established. Therefore, Credelio Cat tablets are not scored and splitting of Credelio Cat tablets is not recommended. A variety of tablet sizes have been developed to allow for accurate dosing according to a cat’s weight. 

Credelio Cat chewable tablets are formulated to provide a minimum dose of 2.7 mg/lb of lotilaner. For cats weighing greater than 17 lbs, the appropriate combination of tablets can be prescribed to achieve the desired dose for a concentration of 2.7mg/lb. 

Credelio Cat must be administered with a meal or within 30 minutes of feeding to achieve full efficacy. 

Kittens should be weighed each month and dosed according to the dosing table based on their weight at the time of administration. 

Isoxazolines are chiral molecules with two stereoisomers that are exact mirror images of each other in a 50/50 ratio within the racemic mixture. For lotilaner, one of the enantiomers is active against parasites, the mirror image is inactive. Additional purification steps are taken during the manufacture of the lotilaner in Credelio Cat to remove the inactive form. 

Since the inactive portion has been removed, the patient does not need to metabolize the inactive enantiomer and the tablets are smaller. 

Credelio Cat chewable tablets are made with vanilla and yeast flavor.⁶  

Lotilaner is a member of the isoxazoline class. It has acaricidal and insecticidal activity and is indicated for tick and flea treatment. 

Yes, Credelio Cat can be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) due to flea infestation. 

Lotilaner kills existing and newly emerged flea infestations on cats before the female flea can lay eggs. In a speed-of-kill study with Credelio Cat, lotilaner killed 100% of fleas on cats within 24 hours. 

As adult fleas cannot begin laying eggs until 24 to 36 hours after taking their first blood meal, the product breaks the flea life cycle and prevents environmental flea contamination in areas to which the cat has access.³

Treatment should be administered monthly. If a dose is missed, administer Credelio Cat with food and resume a monthly dosing schedule from that date on. 

The safety of Credelio CAT has not been established in pregnant, breeding, or lactating cats.

Credelio Cat is not approved for use in dogs.

Credelio tablets are made with meat flavoring containing pork liver and soy but no actual beef.⁵  Tablets also contain barley, wheat, and lactose.⁵   

Credelio has a 3-year shelf life from the date of manufacture.  

Yes, Credelio can be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) due to flea infestation. 

Lotilaner kills existing and newly emerged flea infestations on dogs before the female flea can lay eggs. In Credelio, lotilaner has shown a sustained speed-of-kill of greater than 99% within 8 hours and 100% within 12 hours throughout the month.³  

As adult fleas cannot begin laying eggs until 24 to 36 hours after taking their first blood meal, the product breaks the flea life cycle and prevents environmental flea contamination in areas to which the dog has access. 

Treatment should be administered monthly. If a dose is missed, administer Credelio with food and resume a monthly dosing schedule from that date on. 

The safe use of Credelio in breeding, pregnant or lactating dogs has not been evaluated.

While Credelio cannot be used in cats, Credelio® CAT (lotilaner) is available with a lotilaner dosage rate of 2.7 mg/lb.  

The most common way a dog gets tapeworms is from having fleas, which often carry immature tapeworms. Dogs infested with fleas will often ingest fleas as they chew on themselves and become infected with tapeworms. Dogs can also get tapeworms from hunting small rodents or rabbits and even from consuming raw meat from wildlife or farm animals, such as elk, deer or sheep.

The most common way a cat gets tapeworms is from having fleas, which often carry immature tapeworms. Cats infested with fleas will frequently ingest them as they groom themselves (a daily behavior) and become infected with tapeworms.

Cats that hunt small rodents (in your house or backyard) may also be at risk of infection from tapeworms.

It can be difficult to tell if your dog or cat has tapeworms as many pets with tapeworm infections won't act sick or lose weight. If your dog or cat has a flea tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum) you may periodically see tapeworm segments that look similar to small grains of rice or sesame seeds on the fur around their rear end or in their feces (poop). Other types of tapeworms shed microscopic eggs that you'll never see but can cause serious disease in people if inadvertently ingested. Your veterinarian is your best resource for information about tapeworms and how to treat and/or protect your dog from these parasites.

Luckily, one treatment with Droncit should be adequate to clear out the tapeworms. However, steps should be taken to treat and prevent fleas on the affected dog or cat (and other pets in the home) and remove rodents around the home or premises in order to prevent reinfection; otherwise, retreatment will be needed.

For complete directions for use and safety information read product label.

The directions for Droncit Tablets are simple! You can offer the proper dosage tablet(s), based on label directions, to your dog or cat by placing the tablet(s) in a pill pouch or include in a type of food your dog or cat will readily eat. Fasting is not necessary or recommended.

For complete directions for use and safety information read product label.

Tapeworms are considered zoonotic, meaning that infections can be spread between animals and humans. Practicing good hygiene such as routine hand washing, regularly picking up and disposing of pet fecal material, limiting opportunities for predation by your pet and maintaining good flea control can limit the risk of tapeworm infections for pets and people.

Droncit Tablets for dogs and Droncit Tablets for cats require a prescription and are available from veterinarians that carry the products.

The active ingredients are 8.8% imidacloprid, 44% permethrin and 0.44% pyriproxyfen.

The active ingredient is carprofen. 

Carprofen is bioequivalent to Rimadyl®. Rimadyl® is a registered trademark of Zoetis Services LLC or a related company or licensor. 

Always provide Client Information Sheet with prescription. Carefully consider the potential benefits and risks of carprofen and other treatment options before deciding to use carprofen. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual response. The recommended dose for oral administration to dogs is 2 mg/lb of body weight daily. The total daily dose may be administered as 2 mg/lb of body weight once daily or divided and administered as 1 mg/lb twice daily.  

For the control of postoperative pain, administer approximately 2 hours before the procedure. quellin® soft chewable tablets are scored and dosage should be calculated in half-tablet increments. Soft chewable tablets can be halved by holding the tablet on each side of the score line and pressing up in the middle to break the tablet into two pieces. Care should be taken to ensure that the dog consumes the complete dose.  

quellin® is available in strengths of 25, 75 and 100 mg in bottles of either 30 or 120 soft chewable tablets.  

quellin® soft chews are scored and are easily divided for convenient dosing by your clients. The active ingredient is uniformly distributed in each chew so dosing remains accurate.  

No. While quellin® contains no animal proteins of any sort and may be useful for animals with allergies to those proteins, it does not contain hydrolyzed plant proteins nor has it been proven to be hypoallergenic.  

In many dogs, improvement can be seen in a matter of days.  

Seresto®  combines two active ingredients, imidacloprid (10%) and flumethrin (4.5%). The innovative polymer matrix enables Seresto® to slowly and continuously release the active ingredients in low concentrations for up to eight months. 

The Seresto^® collar for cats should be worn continuously for the eight-month protection period and replaced after eight months for optimal continuous flea and tick protection. Clients should check the collar periodically and adjust the fit if necessary, especially with growing kittens.

Shipping case: One display unit contains 6 tins, containing each a pouched Seresto®. The EPA does not require an expiration date on the packaging for Seresto® for Cats. The product should be kept in its original packaging and stored as directed on the label. 

Yes. Seresto^® can be used alongside identification collars without damaging them. 

Seresto® for Cats kills existing fleas within 24 hours after application. After 24 hours of application, re-infesting fleas are killed within two hours — before they can lay eggs.  

This collar is designed with a release mechanism. In the unlikely event of a cat being trapped, the cat’s own strength is sufficient to widen the collar to allow for quick release.

This hasn’t been tested and it might have an impact on the level of protection your pet receives. Therefore, we strongly discourage you from doing this. For the best flea and tick protection, Seresto® should be used continuously and ideally all year round. However, we do not see any problem if you temporarily need to remove the collar (e.g. during grooming).

Seresto® does not need to be removed when a cat gets wet or is bathed. The active ingredients are contained in the collar matrix and will not be released into water. They spread through the lipid layer of the cat's skin and hair and even if this lipid layer is partially washed off by bathing, Seresto® will quickly replenish the active ingredients and the pet will be protected again.

However, prolonged, intense exposure to water or extensive shampooing should be avoided as the duration of activity may be reduced.

The white powder is caused by stearic acid, a release agent used in the production process to make it easier to release the collar from its mold.

Stearic acid is completely safe and also graded for use in certain foods. The white powder normally disappears within a few days after application of the collar to your animal but if you prefer, you can simply wipe it off with a cloth.

Ticks may still grab onto your cat’s coat when she brushes past them, even if she’s wearing a Seresto® collar. The active ingredients work on contact, which means the ticks need to grab onto the fur to get exposed to the active ingredient. However, once they have climbed on, the ticks will fall off and die. You may therefore sometimes also see ticks tangled in your cat’s fur.

As the vast majority of active ingredients are bound in the collar matrix and not on the surface, they are not released or absorbed when the collar gets chewed. If any, mild gastrointestinal signs may be seen. Nevertheless, you should avoid chewing, and if your cat manages to get her own collar into her mouth it’s likely that it is applied too loosely. Ideally two fingers fit between the collar and your cat’s neck.

Yes, Seresto® can be used on kittens aged 10 weeks and older.

If your cat isn’t used to wearing a collar, there is a slim chance that she might develop mild reactions such as scratching, redness and hair loss. These symptoms usually disappear within one to two weeks, without removing the collar, as your cat gets used to wearing it. In some cases, temporary collar removal may be recommended until the symptoms have disappeared. In rare cases in cats, application site reactions such as dermatitis, inflammation, eczema or lesions may occur and in these instances, collar removal is recommended. Please consult your vet if the symptoms persist or become more severe.

Seresto^® combines two active ingredients, imidacloprid (10%) and flumethrin (4.5%). The innovative polymer matrix enables Seresto^® to slowly and continuously release the active ingredients in low concentrations for eight months.

The Seresto^® collar is for use on puppies and dogs 7 weeks of age and older, making it easy to protect dogs from fleas and ticks for eight continuous months. Seresto^® for small dogs is designed for dogs up to 18 lbs. (8 kg); Seresto^® for large dogs is designed for dogs over 18 lbs. (8 kg).

Under normal conditions, effectiveness lasts for eight months. In order to maintain an eight-month duration, dogs must not be bathed more than once per month. For dogs who swim once a month or more, the control duration is reduced to five months for flea control and reduced to seven months for tick control.

Remind your clients to replace the collar after eight months for optimal flea and tick protection.

Yes. Seresto^® can be used alongside identification or restraining collars without damaging them.

Seresto® kills existing fleas within 24 hours after application. Once Seresto®  has been on your dog for 24 hours, re-infesting fleas are killed within two hours — before they can lay eggs.  

Seresto® begins preventing ticks within 48 hours of application. Re-infesting ticks are repelled and/or killed in as quickly as 6 hours.

No. It's even important to put it on without any delay to assure a continuous protection of your dog. 

No, it doesn’t. Seresto^®  is odorless, so there are none of the unpleasant smells you usually associate with flea and tick collars. 

Trifexis^® contains two active ingredients: Spinosad and Milbemycin Oxime.

Spinosad paralyzes fleas, eventually killing them. Spinosad is produced by a bacterium first isolated from natural sources (a soil sample collected in the Caribbean).¹ As with all medications, sensitivities in individual animals can occur, sometimes resulting in side effects. See the Trifexis® label for complete safety information.

When fleas jump onto and bite a dog treated with Trifexis^®, they will be killed. If, within one month after your patient receives Trifexis^®, fleas are detected, they are most likely new fleas. These new fleas will be killed before they can produce eggs that contaminate the environment. Continued monthly use of Trifexis^® can protect against any new infestations.

All animals in the household should be treated with an approved flea product to help control the flea population. Dogs can continue to be exposed to fleas that live in the environment.

Milbemycin oxime prevents heartworm disease and protects against hookworm, roundworm, and whipworm.

In occasional cases, it is possible for intestinal worms to be expelled in your patient’s stool. This indicates that Trifexis^® is working. 

As with all medications, sometimes side effects may occur. In some cases, dogs vomited after receiving Trifexis^®. If vomiting occurs within an hour of administration, redose with another full dose. During field studies, no severe or prolonged vomiting occurred. Additional adverse reactions observed in the clinical studies were itching, decreased activity, diarrhea, inflammation of the skin, redness of the skin, decreased appetite and redness of the ear. All reactions were regarded as mild.  

Since the introduction of Trifexis^®, additional side effects reported are trembling/shaking, ataxia, seizures and hypersalivation. Please contact your vet with any questions. 

The flavoring in Trifexis^® comes from artificial beef flavoring made from pork-based proteins and hydrolyzed soy.³ 

Administer Trifexis^® with food for maximum effectiveness. Trifexis^® is a chewable, beef-flavored tablet that can be administered as a treat. 

No. Trifexis^® was developed exclusively for administration to dogs and is not approved for use in cats.
