How it works:
Credelio Plus consists of two active ingredients lotilaner and milbemycin oxime. Lotilaner actively kills fleas and ticks (including Paralysis ticks, Brown dog ticks and Bush ticks). The onset of killing fleas is within 2 hours; fleas are eliminated within 6-12 hours of administration and kills re-infesting fleas within 4-6 hours. The other ingredient milbemycin oxime is a known chemical component in Australia that targets deadly heartworms and gastrointestinal worms such as adult and juvenile roundworms and hookworms along with adult whipworms.
For dogs without flea and tick infestations, it works as an effective, long-lasting monthly topical preventative against fleas and ticks - just apply once a month.

The safe use of Credelio in breeding, pregnant or lactating
