Credelio Chewable Tablets

Credelio is a monthly chewable tablet that treats flea and tick infestations. Fast-acting ingredients begin killing adult fleas within six hours, and it continues to protect against fleas for one month. It also provides monthly control of tick infestations in cats 6 months and older. 

Formulated to taste like yummy vanilla and yeast, the chew is typically appealing to most cats, even ones who are picky eaters.  

“Credelio can be a good option for cats who easily take treats, as it can be placed in a pill pocket, or sometimes cats will consume it with no wrap,” says Veronica Higgs, DVM, adding that it must be given with food or within 30 minutes of eating. 

This medication might not be a good fit if your cat has a history of seizures, and your cat must be at least 8 weeks old and weigh at least 2 pounds to safely take it.
