The very best you can get is either Advantage or Frontline.  I'm more
familiar with Advantage because I've used it on my crew for several
years.  You can get it from a vet or from online stores like
http://nationalpetsupply.com.
 
I get the size for the 55 pound and over dogs.  I use an insulin syringe
to draw up 0.2 ml and apply that to the back of the neck once a month.
All sizes contain the same chemical, just different amounts of it and all
sizes cost about the same so you can see why I get the largest.
