About this item
DESCRIPTION:

Credelio is a chewable, once-monthly treatment that uses Lotilaner to control and treat tick and flea infestations. It is effective against Rhipicephalus sanguineus (brown dog ticks), Ixodes scapularis (black-legged ticks), Dermacentor variabilis (American dog ticks), Amblyomma americanum (Lone Star ticks), and Ctenocephalides felis (common domestic fleas).

Key Benefits:

  • Lotilaner, the active ingredient of this medication, is an ectoparasiticide.
  • It renders the pet's skin uninhabitable to the ectoparasite.
  • An ectoparasite is a parasitic insect or Acari (tick or mite) that lives on the outside of the host, typically on the animal's skin.
  • Credelio inhibits the ability of the parasites to transfer GABA chloride across the membranes of the cell.
  • These chemicals are known to be critical to neuromuscular homeostasis maintenance, which means that this inhibition leads to death of the parasite.
  • Your dog will then enjoy atick- and flea-free life.
  • This medication is known to be selectively toxic, which means that it can affect every mammal differently.

    Formulated For: Dogs aged 8 weeks or older and weigh more than 4.4 lbs.
