Welcome to FleaTickWorm Philippines: Vet-Led Parasite Protection

Who we are
We help pet owners in the Philippines choose parasite protection that works. Our veterinarian, Dr Feargus McConnell, reviews every product we recommend. We focus on clear advice, safe dosing, and simple plans you can follow all year.

Why parasite control is year round here
Warm, humid weather keeps fleas, ticks and mosquitoes active most of the year. Eggs and larvae can live in sofas, rugs and car seats. Mosquitoes spread heartworm in dogs. A steady plan protects your pet and your home.

What we recommend

• Pick one proven product and use it on time.

• Treat every pet in the household on the same day.

• Wash bedding hot and vacuum high-use areas often.

• Do quick nose-to-tail checks for ticks after parks, gardens or farm visits.

• Set phone reminders so you never miss a date.

How Dr McConnell selects products

• Coverage that fits local risks such as fleas, brown dog ticks, heartworm in dogs and common intestinal worms.

• Clear labels and weight bands to reduce mistakes.

• Forms that suit real homes. Monthly chews for swimmers, spot-ons for owners who prefer a quick skin application, and long-acting options for busy schedules.

Products you will see mentioned
We keep guidance brand-agnostic and practical. You will see trusted names like Simparica Trio, NexGard, Bravecto, Revolution Plus and Revolution Original used as examples. Always read the label and match your pet’s current weight.

Quick start plans

• Dogs: Choose a monthly chew or a long-acting chew/spot-on for fleas and ticks. Keep heartworm prevention on time.

• Cats: Choose a monthly or long-acting spot-on that fits your routine. Apply at the back of the head where your cat cannot reach.

• Multi-pet homes: Dose every pet the same day to stop flea bounce-back.

Simple safety tips

• Weigh your pet before each dose and pick the correct pack.

• Use dog products on dogs only. Never use dog products on cats.

• Do not combine treatments unless your vet advises it.

• Apply spot-ons to clean, dry skin and keep the site away from children and other pets until dry.

• If your pet is ill, pregnant or on other medicines, ask your vet first.

FAQ

Do indoor pets in the Philippines still need protection
Often yes. Fleas and mosquitoes can get indoors. A steady plan prevents flare-ups.

Chew or spot-on. Which should I pick
Both work when used on time. Chews suit swimmers and busy homes. Spot-ons suit owners who prefer a quick application. Choose the one you can give reliably.

How long until a flea problem settles
Expect clear progress in one to two weeks. New adults can hatch for several weeks, so keep dosing on schedule and clean weekly.

Can I switch products
Yes. Start the new product when the old one’s protection period ends. Avoid overlap unless your vet says it is safe.
