    How We Help Kiwi Homes Choose Parasite Protection

    Our approach in one minute
    We start with four questions.

    • Where does your pet spend time. Home, bush tracks, farms, beaches.

    • How often do they swim or get bathed.

    • Do you prefer monthly or fewer application dates.

    • What can you give on time, every time. Chew or spot-on.

    Scenario 1: The beach and river dog
    Water is part of the week. A chew suits many swimming dogs because there is no drying time to plan around. Dose with food and set phone reminders for the next date.

    Scenario 2: The city cat who visits the bach
    Even mostly indoor cats meet fleas. Travel adds risk for ticks in long grass. A monthly spot-on with tick cover keeps things simple for short trips.

    Scenario 3: The busy family 
    Busy families might be prone to missing the odd application day. Having fewer application days can help you stay consistent. Long-acting options reduce the number of times you need to dose across the year. Keep a calendar note for the next due day.

    Shortlist we trust in NZ
    Chosen by Dr Feargus McConnell for coverage, safety and ease at home. Read the label and match the correct weight band.

    Packing and delivery you can count on

    • Batch and expiry checked for every item.

    • Weight band verified against your order.

    • Leak-resistant packing for spot-ons.

    • Quick dispatch across Aotearoa so you can stay on schedule.

    Safety basics

    • Weigh your pet before each dose.

    • Use dog products on dogs only. Never use dog products on cats.

    • Do not combine treatments unless your vet advises it.

    • Apply spot-ons to clean, dry skin and keep the site away from children and other pets until dry.

    • Ask your vet first if your pet has a health condition, is pregnant, or is on other medicines.

    FAQ

    Do indoor pets in NZ still need protection
    Often yes. Fleas thrive in warm homes. A steady, on-time plan prevents flare ups.

    What about ticks in New Zealand
    Risk can rise after time in bush, farm paddocks and long grass. Do quick hands-on checks during risk periods and keep prevention on time if advised by your vet.

    How do I switch products safely
    Start the new product when the previous one would have been due. Avoid overlap unless your vet says it is safe.
