We use Simparica TRIO one pill once a month for fleas, ticks, hookworms, and heartworms.

Simparico, which sounds like it should be a Mexican Pilsner.

I've had good luck with the Seresto collar

lives in the woods within 25 miles of Lyme CT

Thanks all! Will pick some up. Residential hood with no woods, but tick season has def begun

We use bravecto chew treats, flea and tick protection for 3 months at a time and the dog just thinks he's getting another treat.

I just stick the flea meds in a clump of peanut butter. She’d eat literally anything if it’s got some peanut butter around it.

same with my 5 yr old lab, but then again, she eats pretty much anything

We use Tri-X Heartworm pills (apparently taste like treat - we hide them and she finds them. We also use the generic FrontlinePlus for fleas and ticks - that's the stuff in the little squeezepacket you use once a month.

She also gets Denamarin for some sort of a kidney issue. To me, it smells the same as the heartworm pill, but pill pockets, peanut butter, sliced chicken just get her to spit it out and we have to shove it down her throat - hard because she gets two at a time daily.

The only thing that disguises it is if I hide them in a half of a BabyBel (those cheese things in the red wax) - cut it in half, dig a hole in it, stuff the pill in and squish it shut.
