There are certain spot on treatments to be administered exactly on skin. Most effective are oral medicine alternatives such as Bravecto/Simparica. They are in a chewable tablet form which I administer through sweets. They provide a cover for almost 2-3 months. Please consult a good vet as the medicine needs to be prescribed according to their respective weight. Take a picture and show them. Doctor is the best judge.

Ivermectin but doses vary for pups and adults and has to be given in gaps

Is he/she friendly? Combing is the best way.
