Numerous non-prescription or OTC (over-the-counter) pet meds are available online these days. Dog meds are no exception. A primary benefit of non-prescription medication for dogs is that they are readily available and no veterinary consultation is required.

There are two types of dog medicine that you should probably consider keeping on hand as both of these categories involve treatment on a regular basis. First and foremost, it is always wise to have flea and tick dog meds put by for the obvious reason. However, it is also important that you keep a de-wormer preparation for your dog ready for use. Your dog should be regularly de-wormed once every 90 days, whether they are showing symptoms of worms or not.

A good flea and tick killer is a good idea as well, as the flea and tick season are right around the corner once again. Dog medicine for flea and tick treatment is also readily available.  The wide array of options may be daunting but we have provided information about each to help your decision. See our Help and Advice centre for detailed advice.

The bottom line is that you need to be prepared.  You can effectively handle a variety of ailments and conditions that could seriously affect and harm your dog if untreated.
