Credelio™ small, monthly chew with flea, tick and mite protection for dogs.

Credelio is available in 4 different tablet sizes so you get the ideal dose for your dog based on their weight. 

Weight ranges include: 

 >2.5 - 5.5 kg 

>5.5 - 11.0 kg 

>11.0 - 22.0 kg 

>22.0 - 45.0 kg 

For greater than 45.0 kg, administer the appropriate combination of tablets. 

Puppies should be at least 8 weeks old and weigh 2.5kg to be able to take the smallest tablet range available in Australia. We do not recommend dividing tablets. Puppies should be weighed each month and dosed accordingly at the time of administration.

Because your dog can be exposed to dangerous parasites in a number of ways: 

• from their mum before they’re born or when they suckle  
• from their environment, inside or outside the home  
• through the bite of a mosquito 
• by consuming small animals like birds, reptiles or rodents 
• some worm larvae can even burrow through their skin 

 The consequences can be nasty. 

• Ticks can transmit deadly diseases and the bite from a single paralysis tick can kill  
• Fleas can transmit serious diseases and parasites to dogs and people 
• Heartworm disease is a potentially fatal disease transmitted by mosquitoes 
• Intestinal worms can cause severe disease in dogs and puppies, and threaten the health of your family 
• Demodectic mange is a skin condition that can cause your dog severe discomfort and lead to hairloss and secondary skin infections 

The flavouring used in Credelio tablets contains pork, wheat, barley, and soybeans. Dogs with food allergies other than to these ingredients should tolerate the flavouring in Credelio.

Treatment with Credelio results in a substantial reduction in, or elimination of, signs of flea allergy dermatitis, due to the rapid onset and sustained residual speed of kill of adult fleas. 

Yes, fleas (and ticks) need to take a blood meal to be killed by Credelio. Like all other systemically acting flea control products, including all chews and tablets and some spot-on products, Credelio does not act on contact or exert a repellent effect.

Credelio tablets are not scored and splitting of Credelio tablets is not recommended.

Yes. In order to be adequately absorbed, you should give Credelio to your dog either with food or within 30 minutes of feeding.

If Credelio was dosed within 30 minutes, feed your dog immediately. If more than 30 minutes have passed since dosing Credelio, redose with the next meal (even on the same day) and resume monthly dosing. Check daily for ticks and seek veterinary advice if a tick is found.

Lotilaner is the active ingredient in Credelio. It is a member of the isoxazoline class, and often referred to as an IOB (isoxazoline-substituted benzamide). Lotilaner has acaricidal and insecticidal activity by acting antagonistically on arthropod ligand-gated chloride channels (GABA-receptor and glutamate receptor), resulting in the rapid death of ticks and fleas.
