Is Adams flea and tick spot-on safe for my 11-year-old small dog?
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.

Is flea powder safe for my pet, or are there better options?
Flea powder isn't terribly effective in stopping and preventing fleas. It would be best to try and use a topical or oral flea medication that is both designed to kill fleas and eggs on the body, and prevent them from returning, as well as to thoroughly vacuum and clean all bedding/areas your pets frequent. If you're looking for something to quickly kill fleas and ticks, there are flea shampoos available, however be sure to read the instructions carefully as the medications used on dogs can be harmful and toxic to cats. A safer alternative is to use something such as Dawn dish soap to kill fleas on the body and then use a fine-toothed or flea comb to remove them, then switch to a safe topical treatment.

Is it safe to combine natural flea chews with flea powder for dogs & cats?
Yes, the products can be used together. Zodiac flea and tick powder can be quite irritating to a dog's eyes, nose, throat and lungs and is a very harsh chemical, so it is not my favorite method of flea control. I much prefer using a topical spot-op or oral flea and tick prevention which will work better and likely be safer and less irritating for Alice. The oral tablets are safe, but are likely not as effective as the other products on the market. I am attaching a handout below on flea control and a second one that has a link to current flea products on the market for dogs that might be helpful for you. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951999 https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952808 Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My puppy has fleas and ticks. Is flea powder safe or effective?
Because Pocholo is 10 weeks old, a flea powder can be used on him, but I would read the label of the specific powder to make sure it is safe. Flea powder isn't an effective flea treatment, and it can cause skin reactions. I would give him Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash his bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home.

My German Shepherd still has ticks after shampoo and powder. Help!
HI, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Gypsy is very cute! Flea and tick powders do not work well. They may kill what is on the pet but will not prevent. I recommend one of the following products: Nexgard or Simparica which are monthly edible products, Bravecto which is also edible but lasts 3 months and I like the Seresto collar which repels ticks for up to 8 months. I wish you and Gypsy the best!
