Fleas, ticks, lice, and mites can cause irritation, discomfort and even serious health problems. That's why choosing the right flea and tick treatment for dogs is so important. The most effective products use fipronil as the active ingredient, including trusted brands we stock like Frontline and Effipro, as well as our own TermaFlea Combo Spot-On - all providing year-round protection. With convenient spot-on treatments, tablets, collar options, and household sprays, it's easy to keep your dog healthy and happy.

Dog Flea Treatment Guide
Fleas are more than just irritating - they can cause serious health issues. A successful flea strategy involves treating both your pet and your home.
Spot-on Flea Treatments- applied directly to your dog’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. They are fast-acting, and help protect your pet and your home from infestation. Many of these double-up as tick treatments as well, such as VioVet TermaFlea™ COMBO.
Flea Collars - long-lasting protection, up to 7-8 months depending on the product in a single application - making them a convenient alternative to monthly treatments. Once fitted, the collar should be worn continuously and checked regularly (especially for growing puppies, as the fit may need adjusting over time).
Flea Tablets- oral tablets work systematically, killing fleas when they bite your dog. Suitable for dogs that don’t tolerate topical applications. Some chewable tablets also offer tick protection.
Flea Sprays- household sprays to kill fleas in the home, alongside vacuuming carpets, rugs, and furniture thoroughly, and hot washing pet bedding at 60°C (where possible). As well as flea spray treatments for your dog.
