Does the flea, tick and worm plan protect against lungworm?

No, it doesn't. Our plan protects against three types of worm: hookworms, roundworms and tapeworms.

How long will the flea, tick, and worm treatment take to work?

Products containing Fipronil will start to kick in within a few hours of application, but require time to spread over the surface of your pet’s skin. This means fleas will be killed within 24 hours of coming in contact with a treated pet. If you have an active flea outbreak, it's vital that you treat the entire flea life cycle to eliminate the infestation. This includes washing pet bedding and any removable covers in your home on a hot wash, and thoroughly cleaning any areas the pet visits in the home and car. You may also need to treat your home (not your pet) with an environmental spray to address an active infestation. Read our guide to learn more about how to get rid of fleas on dogs and cats .

What happens if my cat or dog licks the flea treatment?

The most common side effect from licking a Fipronil-based spot-on treatment that hasn’t dried is excessive salivation due to the product’s bitter taste. Some pets may also become nauseous or vomit. Offer your pet water to rinse the solution out of their mouth. Giving them a treat can also help remove the taste in cases of salivation.
