She will prescribe the right medication. He does not recommend buying treatment online.

Our dogs have been on bravecto for as long as we've had them. I called my vet and she said bravecto does not kill or prevent tapeworms. She said Frankie would have had to eaten a flea.&nbsp; How does that even happen? According to her there is no prevention only treatment. Does anyone have any experience with this product that I can get on Amazon? Our vet's office is about 40 minutes away.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P><IMG src="https://community.qvc.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/321172iED02E7CE448553D0/image-size/original?v=v2&amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="1000010526.jpg" title="1000010526.jpg" /></P> Tue, 20 Aug 2024 22:34:33 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Pet-Lovers/Question-about-tapeworm-medication/m-p/8560467#M159123 monicakm 2024-08-20T22:34:33Z
