Credelio Chewable Tablets for Dogs are a fast-acting, monthly treatment for the control of fleas and ticks. These prescription-only tablets are palatable, easy to administer, and designed to provide long-lasting external parasite protection for dogs.
Credelio is ideal for use as part of your dog’s regular parasite control routine, helping to keep your dog and home free from infestations. It is effective against adult fleas and multiple tick species, and starts killing fleas within just 4 hours of administration.
Available Dosage Strengths
Credelio is available in five weight-specific strengths to ensure accurate dosing:
- 56 mg tablet – for dogs 1.3 kg to 2.5 kg
- 112 mg tablet – for dogs 2.5 kg to 5.5 kg
- 225 mg tablet – for dogs 5.5 kg to 11 kg
- 450 mg tablet – for dogs 11 kg to 22 kg

Each pack contains 6 chewable tablets – a 6-month supply when used monthly. For dogs over 45 kg, your vet will advise the appropriate combination of tablets.

Typical Dosage
Credelio is given once per month, ideally on the same date. For best results, administer the tablet with food or immediately after feeding to maximise absorption.
Always follow your vet’s prescribing instructions. Do not alter dosage without veterinary guidance.

- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
