How to Buy Flea & Heartworm Medicine

Fleas attach themselves to a dog's skin and hair. You can use sprays, pills, soaps, powder or topical liquids to remove them. Heartworms can cause death in dogs. Therefore, it's best to give your dog a heartworm preventative.

  1. Online

    • Many heartworm pills and treatments can be purchased online. You can also purchase flea shampoo, soaps, powders, collars and sprays online. Many are fairly inexpensive. If purchased online your order ships right to your front door.

    Veterinarian

    • The best place to purchase flea and heartworm medicine is from your veterinarian. He can diagnose your dog and recommend the best way to treat your dog. Even if your dog does not have heartworms, the vet can suggest a preventative plan to keep it heartworm-free.

    Farm-Supply Stores

    • You can purchase heartworm medicine and flea-removal treatments at your local farm-supply store. These stores carry numerous dog supplies including medicine, fences, food and collars. Most items for dogs are cheaper at a farm-supply store.
