Credelio for Cats – Monthly Chewable Flea & Tick Protection
Credelio for Cats is one of the first chewable flea and tick treatments developed specifically for cats. Formulated with lotilaner, this convenient monthly chewable tablet provides fast-acting protection against fleas and helps control black-legged tick infestations in eligible cats. Unlike topical treatments, Credelio offers an oral alternative that eliminates the need for spot-on applications, making parasite protection simple and mess-free.
Featuring a cat-friendly vanilla and yeast flavor, Credelio is designed to appeal to a cat’s unique sense of taste and smell, helping make administration easier. Suitable for kittens and cats 8 weeks of age or older weighing at least 2 lbs, this monthly chewable starts killing fleas within 6 hours and eliminates most fleas within 24 hours. Available in weight-specific strengths, Credelio provides reliable monthly flea and tick protection for growing kittens and adult cats.
Coverage

- Monthly flea treatment and prevention
- Black-legged tick control (cats 6 months of age and older)

How it Works
Credelio contains lotilaner, an ectoparasiticide that targets fleas and ticks after administration. Once ingested, lotilaner circulates in the bloodstream and begins working quickly to eliminate parasites. Credelio starts killing fleas within approximately 6 hours and eliminates most fleas within 24 hours, helping reduce infestations and maintain ongoing monthly protection. It also helps control black-legged tick infestations in eligible cats.
