My 11lb dog has fleas. Is small dog Advecta 3 dose effective?

In most cases, administering the larger dose would be recommended. The one caveat is that some cattle breeds are sensitive to invermectin. If the medication contains invermectin and Addie happens to be a dog with a sensitivity it could result in neurologic symptoms such as seizures. If the medication does not contain invermectin, it should be fine to administer the flea medication for dogs over 55.5lbs.

The antibiotics should not weaken the flea treatment. If you did not treat your house, especially where she spends most of her time, there are probably still fleas in your house and they are jumping back on her. The fleas should die once they bite her but you will continue to see fleas until the environment is treated, too. You will need to treat the environment with a product that has a growth regulator and continue to use the Advantix on her monthly.

Yes K9 Advantix is a good product, I recommend it. You don’t need to bathe Noble first, just apply it. You will have to disinfect your home as well, fleas live in the environment not on the dog. I hope this helps!

Advantage works well for some areas of the US and some pets. If you are still finding fleas on Lucky in a week or two, you may need to try a prescription product sold by your vet. It can take 3 months or more of consistently treating the pets in a household and the home to get fleas under control.

Starla is so cute! First, I would give her 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. Both can be given to puppies her age and weight. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash her 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. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The Advantus flea pill is once daily. This medication is best used to help kill what is on the dog. I wouldn't use it to prevent fleas as it is expensive to give once daily long term. Once a month Nexgard and Simparica are less expensive and are only given once a month. Also Bravecto is one tablet every 3 months and is about $50 every 3 months. I would spend your money on one of those products. The flea life cycle is 21 days so you would have to give the Advantus daily for at least 3 weeks. But once you stop there is nothing preventing more fleas to jump back on him. I hope this helps!

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.
