Flea, Tick & Worming131 products
Parasite protection for fleas, ticks, intestinal worms, and heartworm.
Flea, tick, and worming protection is non-optional for Australian dogs. The paralysis tick belt on the east coast is one of the most dangerous parasite environments in the world for pets, and intestinal worms and heartworm don't take a season off anywhere in the country. This category covers the full range — spot-ons, chewable tablets, collars, and all-in-one products from the brands Australian vets actually use, grouped so you can see what each product actually covers.

The biggest decision here is coverage. Some products only handle fleas and ticks; others add intestinal worms or heartworm; a handful cover everything in one dose. Isoxazoline-class chewables (Bravecto, NexGard, Simparica Trio, Credelio) are the modern standard for flea and tick control, with monthly or three-monthly dosing. Spot-on products like Advocate, Revolution, and Advantage cover different parasite combinations — check the label for exactly what's included. Weight banding matters: every product in this category is dosed by the dog's weight, so buying the wrong band is the single most common mistake.
In Australia, the paralysis tick season runs longest in Queensland and northern NSW, but ticks appear as far south as Victoria during warmer months. If you live in tick country, prioritise products that explicitly cover Ixodes holocyclus — the paralysis tick — not just the common brown or bush tick. Heartworm is a year-round risk almost everywhere in Australia because of our mosquito populations, so monthly or annual heartworm prevention belongs in every dog's routine regardless of where you live.
How to choose
Start with coverage. Make a list of what your dog needs protected against based on where you live and how your dog lives. Tick country means a product that explicitly lists Ixodes holocyclus on the label. Multi-dog households with shared bedding need fast-kill flea control. Dogs that eat raw or roam freely need regular intestinal worming. Heartworm prevention is separate from most flea-and-tick products unless specifically labelled — it's usually a monthly chew, an annual injection from your vet, or a combination product. Match the weight band precisely — under-dosing reduces efficacy and over-dosing raises side-effect risk, so never round up or down. Chewables suit dogs that bathe or swim often because water doesn't wash them off. Spot-ons are fine for most dogs but can lose efficacy if bathed within the first 48 hours. Puppies, pregnant dogs, and dogs on other medications have product restrictions — read the label or ask your vet before switching.
Key considerations
Paralysis tick coverage matters
In tick country, look for Ixodes holocyclus on the label. Common flea products don't always cover paralysis ticks.
Weight band precision
Dose strictly by weight. Under-dosing reduces efficacy, over-dosing raises side-effect risk — never round up or down.
Heartworm is separate
Most flea-and-tick products don't include heartworm. Add a monthly chew or the annual vet injection for year-round cover.
Chewable vs spot-on
Chewables aren't affected by swimming or bathing. Spot-ons are fine for most dogs but can wash off in the first 48 hours.
Intestinal worms too
Flea-and-tick products usually don't worm. Use a separate wormer every 3 months, or an all-in-one if your vet agrees.
Check for interactions
Puppies, pregnant dogs, and dogs on medications have product restrictions. Read the packet or ask your vet before switching.
Frequently asked
Which products cover paralysis ticks?+
The main paralysis tick products in Australia are Bravecto (chew and spot-on), NexGard, NexGard Spectra, Simparica, Simparica Trio, and Credelio. All are isoxazoline-class chewables or topicals that kill ticks fast enough to prevent paralysis in most dogs. Check the specific product label and discuss with your vet if your dog has had tick issues before.
Do I still need to worm my dog if I'm using a flea product?+
Usually yes. Most flea and tick products don't include intestinal worming — exceptions are 'all-in-one' or 'trio' products that specifically list worms on the label. A standard flea-and-tick chew covers fleas and ticks only, so you'll need a separate wormer every three months, or a broad-spectrum product that combines both.
Can I use a dog flea product on my cat?+
No — never. Many dog flea products contain permethrin or other active ingredients that are highly toxic or fatal to cats. Always use species-specific products. Permethrin poisoning in cats is a veterinary emergency that still happens every year in Australian multi-pet households. Keep treated dogs separated from cats during application.
How often do I need to apply flea treatment?+
It depends on the product. Monthly dosing covers most spot-ons and some chewables like NexGard and Simparica. Three-monthly chewables include Bravecto. A few products stretch longer for specific parasites. Set calendar reminders — missed doses open windows where fleas establish or ticks attach before the next dose starts working.
Is chewable or spot-on better?+
Neither is universally better. Chewables aren't affected by swimming or bathing and are useful for water-loving dogs. Spot-ons don't require the dog to eat anything and suit dogs with food sensitivities or fussy eaters. Both work when used correctly — the 'best' one is the one you'll remember to give on time.
