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.

• 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.
