| If your pet absolutely refuses to eat either flavored medicines or even tablets secreted in treats (like peanut butter or cheese), then there are still viable options for the preventative approach to parasites: |
| Injectable parasiticides |
| Topical parasiticides |
| Topicals are liquids applied to the skin of the pet. Most work by spreading through the sebaceous (or oil) glands found in the skin. When fleas or ticks attempt to feed, they are destroyed. |
