If Your Pet Hates to Take Pills, the Answer May be in a Tube.

One of the common reasons why a pet takes a monthly preventative medication is for the control of internal and external parasites.

Recent advances have heralded formulations that are applied to the skin. Some of these stay on the skin, while others are absorbed, circulate through the body, only to return to the surface later. Science has created products that can protect your pet from a multitude of "bugs" with one treatment.

Not all products are created equally. Some can be used only on dogs, and can be highly toxic to other furry creatures. Some of the topicals are insecticides. The more high tech means of parasite control are insect growth regulators, or affect the insect's nervous system. These types are extremely safe for your pet and for your family. You can even bathe the pet without diminishing the effectiveness.
