All in one parasite protection in New Zealand

Introduction

All in one products combine flea and tick control with worm cover in a single dose. In New Zealand that can be a simple way to stay on track, especially for busy families or when you plan overseas travel. Prepared with input from our lead vet and founder, Dr. Feargus McConnell, BVSc.

When all in one makes sense

If you struggle to keep multiple products aligned, one monthly dose can improve consistency. It also helps in mixed households where different people share pet care. For dogs that travel to heartworm areas, combining coverage is practical.

Points to consider first

All in ones are usually monthly, so they suit people who like a regular date. If you prefer fewer applications, a longer acting flea and tick option with a separate worm plan may fit better. Always dose to today’s weight and match the label’s minimum age.

Quick decision guide

• You want one monthly routine that covers more than fleas: choose an all in one

• You want longer gaps between flea and tick doses: choose a longer acting option and follow your vet’s worming plan

• You plan to travel with your dog: choose a plan that includes heartworm cover for the whole trip
