Just bought Adams Pentagon flea and tick spot on for dogs wondering if it was safe because she's 11 years old about 18 to 19 lb
It appears to be a canine product, although for a smaller weight catergory, so should be ok. Do not give it to cats however! I do prefer Advantix and prescription flea/tick products, however, due to the reactions seen with Adams and similar products.

I have a dog and she is at least 4-5 months old. I have given baths to when she gets fleas and she's used to that but recently I used Adams flea spray and she's been getting rash spots. What should I do? Is it because she's not used to it?
Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. It sounds like Fifi has had a bad reaction to the Adam's flea spray, so this should NOT be used again. The only topical flea and tick products that should be used on dogs (and cats) are those purchased from a veterinarian. Flea and tick products that are purchased from a pet or food store or online are not safe or effective for dogs, and can cause these painful skin reactions, or can even cause dogs to become systemically sick. I recommend contacting your local veterinarian about what flea and tick products they offer. Appropriate topical options include K9 advantage and Frontline. There are also oral options such as Bravecto and Nexgard, as well as a collar than can be worn (Seresto collar) for up to 8 months of flea and tick prevention! I hope this is helpful.

Our Mini schnauzer has fleas and we're looking to rid them from her, looking at Adams™ Plus Flea & Tick Shampoo with Precor®. We have been applying Frontline Gold, concerned its stopped working hence the fleas, your advice is greatly appreciated.
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Frontline has showed a lot of resistance with fleas. Personally I don’t recommend Adam’s. I would use Nexgard, Simparica, Bravecto, Advantix ii, or the Seresto collar. Good luck!

How long after I treated my cats with Adams spot on flea/tick (Methoprene, Etofenprox) can I apply Advantage II (Imidacloprid, pyriproxyfen)? I had only one Advantage left so 2 of the 3 had Adams instead, but it is not working for them (one stopped s
I would say 14 days but you should call Adams as they are most familiar with their products. heir website states that it depends on the product you are switching to. Please contact the Adams consumer response line at (800) 234-2269 for more information. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

Doctor Jennifer. Do you think they sell K9 Advantix for small dogs in Bosnia and Herzegovina? It'd be great if they did because I want to protect the little goof of mine. Thank you once again.
I'm not sure if they do or not - in the United States, it's available at most pet stores and even some large, "general" type stores like Walmart. I would suggest calling or visiting your nearest pet store and/or any large grocery stores in your area to see if they have it :)
