I second this. This will be my third year to use them. My retriever's are in the water several times per week.

I'm using a heartworm pill that keeps my dog free of fleas and ticks as well. No messy oils, powders or collars.

I'm using a heartworm pill that keeps my dog free of fleas and ticks as well. No messy oils, powders or collars. I'm intrigued. What's it called, if you,don't mind me asking?
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

Not sure, but can check. Just know the vet said it's an added bonus of using this med and I've been using it 9 months and have no issues with ticks or fleas. And she is at the lease with me every time I go.

I'd like to know as well. I don't know of any pill that covers heartworms, fleas, and ticks. Only ones I know of are heartworms, fleas, and parasites.

I don't think I've ever posted over here but I'd like to jump in here if you guys don't mind.
The Seresto collars are great for fleas and ticks. The only collar I've ever recommended to clients.
Trifexis is a pill that prevents heartworms and fleas and treats/prevent internal parasites. It does not offer tick prevention. Its a great product though.
I'm not aware of a product out there that will prevent fleas tick and heartworms. I'm sure someone is working or has worked on one but haven't been able to get it to work.
Bravecto is also a great product 3 months flea prevention and up to 12 weeks of tick prevention depending on the species of tick.

It's Triheartplus. Those benefits are not listed by the manufacturer but the vet said it's a side benefit. I just know I don't use anything but that and have no flea or tick issues. The one tick found on the dog was sick and barely able to move and that was last fall so . . .

The one tick found on the dog was sick and barely able to move and that was last fall so . . . No offense to your vet but he is not correct. That product does not offer any flea and tick prevention. It contains Ivermectin which kills heartworms and other parasites as well as pyrantel pamoate which is basically a dewormer.

Revolution. Applied Topical.
Revolution for dogs and cats is an easy to use, topical treatment that kills fleas, flea eggs, ear mites, scabies and controls dog tick infestations in dogs. In addition, it helps with heartworm control as well as the spread of parasitic worms like roundworm and hookworm.
Have used it for years on the dogs and cats here.
