My puppy has fleas. Is it safe to give his new flea medicine early?

Great question! Your adult dog should be protected, but the house will be infested and he can get the fleas when the flea treatment wears off. I can give you a flea treatment for Brody, since he is almost 8 weeks of age. First, 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. I hope this helps!

Great question! Yes, you can give Chico Capstar. Follow it up with a spot on treatment like Revolution or Frontline. 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. Best of luck.

I would recommend that you talk to your vet about a prescription oral preventative, since they are a lot easier to give! It would be okay to retreat with a new tube of that preventative at this time. Put Koda in your lap or sit with him on the floor and wait until he is calm to part the hair and apply the medication. It is important to apply the whole tube to ensure he gets the full dose.

Fleas can be the worst! According to the Bravecto website, it can be administered as early as eight weeks of age as long as the puppies are each at least 2kg in weight. It is safe to give to your adult dogs and puppies. You will also need to disinfect the environment in order to kill all the fleas. Wash their 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. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Great question! I will give you a flea treatment program for Lioh. First, I would give him Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes.

Your dog is so cute! He looks like a young puppy, and it's best for me to know his age so I can know if it's safe to recommend specific medication to treat him. There are certain ages at which puppies can receive flea medications, and it's not safe to give them to puppies below a certain age. You can post again with more details about his age, but I can recommend bathing him in Dawn dish soap. That's safe to do for even young puppies.

Since it's been two weeks, yes it's fine to apply the Advantix now. I would also give Barney Capster. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas in 30 minutes. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash his bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces.
