Nexguard for Benny The Dog. We don’t use anything for Mittens the Cat; he is an indoor cat, so Benny’s medicine is the line of defense.

It’s expensive, but extremely easy, and if Benny got a tick, or we got fleas in the house, we’d sure as hell pay a lot to fix those problems.

Seresto collars for the cats. It works!  
Bravecto for the dog. It works!  
Didn’t we do this a while ago?
