Small Size. Big Benefits.

- Allows for a potent, small chewable that's easy for cats to take
- Less potential for side effects
- Less strain on the cat's system
Lotilaner was hand-picked from over 1,000 isoxazoline compounds during development for its efficacy and safety profile.
Formulated to Pass the "SNIFF TEST"

Credelio Cat development:
- Highly emphasized product smell and flavor
- Heavily considered cats unique eating behaviors and physiology
- Tested multiple flavor/smell attributes
Testing determined that vanilla and yeast were the power combo credelio cat needed.

- A working treatment for cats that cannot be handled. Flea infestation much improved.
- Obvious side affects - made both cats ill for a short period. Dosage on box is more than is actually needed for cats in the low end of the stated weight range.
