Comprehensive Flea Protection

Fleas can cause itching, skin irritation and discomfort in dogs.

Some dogs also develop flea allergy dermatitis, an allergic reaction to flea saliva.

Credelio PLUS rapidly kills fleas, helping to control existing infestations and reduce ongoing exposure.

Fast-Acting Flea Treatment

According to Elanco, Credelio PLUS:

• Starts killing fleas within 2 hours.
• Kills existing fleas within 6–12 hours.
• Continues killing newly acquired fleas throughout the month.
• Helps prevent flea egg production by killing adult fleas.

Regular monthly treatment helps maintain consistent protection.

Paralysis Tick Protection

Paralysis ticks are a serious concern for dogs in many areas of eastern Australia.

The Australian paralysis tick, Ixodes holocyclus , can cause potentially life-threatening tick paralysis.

Credelio PLUS treats and controls paralysis ticks for one month when administered according to the label.

It also treats and controls:

• Brown dog ticks ( Rhipicephalus sanguineus )
• Bush ticks ( Haemaphysalis longicornis )

Important: No tick treatment provides 100% protection. Daily tick searches and prompt removal of ticks remain essential, particularly during tick season.

If your dog develops weakness, vomiting, difficulty walking, breathing difficulties or changes in its bark, seek emergency veterinary treatment.

Heartworm Disease Prevention

Heartworm is a potentially serious parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitoes.

Credelio PLUS contains milbemycin oxime, which prevents heartworm disease when administered regularly every month.

Heartworm prevention is important because established adult heartworm infections can cause serious damage to the heart and lungs.

Dogs that have not been receiving regular heartworm prevention should be assessed by a veterinarian before starting treatment.

Credelio PLUS prevents heartworm disease but does not treat established adult heartworm infections.

Intestinal Worm Protection

Credelio PLUS treats and controls several common intestinal worms affecting dogs.

Roundworms

Provides treatment and control of susceptible roundworm species, including Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina.

Hookworms

Treats and controls susceptible hookworms, including Ancylostoma caninum , Ancylostoma braziliense and Ancylostoma ceylanicum.

Whipworm

Treats and controls adult Trichuris vulpis.

Regular intestinal worm control is an important part of responsible dog ownership.

Flea Tapeworm Prevention

Fleas can transmit flea tapeworm ( Dipylidium caninum ) when dogs swallow infected fleas during grooming.

By effectively controlling adult fleas, Credelio PLUS helps prevent flea tapeworm infestations.

Important: Credelio PLUS does not treat existing adult tapeworm infections. Dogs requiring treatment for an existing tapeworm infestation may need an additional product recommended by a veterinarian.

Demodex Mite Treatment

Credelio PLUS also treats and controls demodex mites ( Demodex species).

Demodex mites may contribute to skin problems, including hair loss and inflammation, when their populations become excessive.

Dogs with suspected demodicosis should receive veterinary assessment to confirm the diagnosis and determine an appropriate treatment plan.

Active Ingredients

Credelio PLUS contains two active ingredients.

Lotilaner

Lotilaner belongs to the isoxazoline class of parasiticides.

It acts against fleas, ticks and demodex mites.

Milbemycin Oxime

Milbemycin oxime provides activity against susceptible intestinal worms and helps prevent heartworm disease.

Together, these ingredients provide broad-spectrum parasite protection in one monthly chew.

How Quickly Does Credelio PLUS Work?

Fleas

Begins killing fleas within approximately 2 hours, with existing fleas killed within 6–12 hours.

Ticks

Existing ticks are killed within 48 hours of administration.

Because ticks must attach and feed to be exposed to the active ingredient, dogs may still be bitten by ticks.

Heartworm

Monthly administration prevents heartworm disease by targeting susceptible immature stages.

Intestinal Worms

Provides treatment and control of the susceptible intestinal worm species listed on the Australian product label.

Can Puppies Use Credelio PLUS?

Yes. Credelio PLUS is suitable for puppies that are:

• At least 8 weeks old
• Weighing at least 1.4kg

Puppies grow quickly, so check their bodyweight before every monthly dose to ensure they receive the correct tablet strength.

What Happens if a Dose Is Missed?

If you miss a monthly dose, administer Credelio PLUS with food as soon as possible.

Resume the monthly dosing schedule and check your dog thoroughly for ticks.

If more than 14 days have passed since the missed dose, contact your veterinarian for advice about heartworm prevention.
