HI my name is genesis and I want to know . if can I give a my dog this Advantus Flea Soft Chews for Large Dogs 23-110lbs, 7 count is god or not?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! 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!

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 :)

Hi, I am preparing to adopt an adult Alaskan klee kai. She is between 18 and 20 pounds. I currently live in Phoenix, AZ, but may be moving in the near future. I am trying to determine which flea/tick and heartworm preventatives may be best for her. I
Congratulations on your new dog! I like Revolution if you are looking for a topical product. It consistently works well and is well tolerated. If you like the idea of an oral product better, I like Trifexis (it’s another all in one product). Sometimes though the pets can smell the Trifexis and they won’t eat it. In that instance, I like Simparica and Interceptor. My personal preference is oral products. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

My dog weighs 11 pounds. I purchased and applied the 1st dose off advecta 3 for small dogs (5-10 pounds) the medium dog dose is for 11-20 pound dogs. Will this still be effective? If not, what should I do now. He already has fleas. So I want to take
The small dog dose should be sufficient when she is borderline between small and medium. You should also treat all bedding, sleeping and resting areas with an insecticidal household flea spray as 95% of the flea burden is present as eggs and larvae in the environment and only 5% are adults on your pet. Be sure to treat all in contact animals and treat with a dewormer active against tapeworms as these can be transmitted by fleas

Daisy recently had fleas. To prevent it I bought K9 Advantix and hope to apply on Monday after a second flea bath on Friday. 1. Is this enough time to make sure the medicine works. 2. I'm considering the Sentry flea control collar. Is two methods mor
1. You don't need to give Daisy a flea bath before giving her the Advantix. You can give her the Advantix now. I don't recommend flea baths because they don't work well and can be very irritating to the skin. 2. You do not need to use the Advantix with the Sentry flea collar. Using Sentry (which contains fipronil) and Advantix together should be done with caution, as they have not be approved by the manufacturers for use together. The Advantix alone is enough protection. 3. You can give Daisy Capster with the Advantix. It's a one time pill that stars killing fleas in 30 minutes, and is safe to use anytime. That's the only oral medication I woken recommend to use in combination with the Advantix. Don't forget to disinfect the environment as well. Wash Daisy's bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a flea spray in the home such as Indorex, or you may need to flea bomb the house to kill the fleas. I hope this helps!
