Dog Flea, Tick & Wormers

Year-round protection for your dog

Parasite control is a key part of keeping your dog healthy and comfortable. Fleas, ticks and worms can cause irritation, illness and discomfort, and can easily spread to other pets or your home. Regular treatment ensures your dog stays protected throughout the year, preventing infestations before they start.

Flea treatments for dogs

Fleas can quickly multiply, causing intense itching and allergic reactions. Effective flea prevention includes both on-animal and household solutions. Spot-on treatments such as Frontline Plus and Beaphar FIPROtec kill fleas and eggs fast, providing long-lasting protection. For home infestations, products like Beaphar FLEAtec Spray and Johnsons 4 Fleas Fogger eliminate larvae in carpets and furnishings, ensuring complete control.

Tick control and prevention

Ticks are common in long grass and wooded areas, and can carry diseases like Lyme disease. Regular use of tick prevention products such as Beaphar Canishield Collars or Frontline Spot-On reduces the risk of bites and transmission. After walks, use tools like the Johnsons Tick Remover to safely detach any ticks found on your dog without irritation or infection.

Worming made simple

Worm infestations can affect digestion, coat condition and overall health. Wormers such as Beaphar One Dose and Johnsons Easy Wormer provide targeted protection against common intestinal worms, including roundworms and tapeworms. Regular dosing, every three months for adult dogs, keeps parasites under control. For puppies, more frequent treatment is advised to protect developing immune systems.

Household flea control

Flea eggs and larvae can remain dormant in soft furnishings for months, making household treatment essential. Beaphar FLEAtec and Johnsons Extra Guard Spray eliminate fleas in carpets, pet bedding and upholstery, providing up to 12 months of protection. Vacuum regularly and wash your dog’s bedding to support the effectiveness of sprays and foggers.

Choosing the right treatment

When selecting a flea, tick or worm treatment, consider your dog’s age, size and lifestyle. Active dogs or those who spend time outdoors benefit from longer-lasting collars or spot-on treatments. For multi-pet households, always use products specifically formulated for dogs, as some cat treatments can be harmful if applied incorrectly.
