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!

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.

I have a toy poodle that weighs 6.5 lbs. She is inside. Only goes out to potty. she has gotten fleas. I just gave her the 4th capstar pill over the last month. Is it safe to also use k9 advantix topical treatment on her? If so how long should I wait?
You can use both products on the same day so it is fine to start the Advantix at any time. There are better products that Advantix. Top products for dogs are oral products such as Simparica and Nexgard. Top products for cats are topicals such as Revolution and Cheristan. There is also an oral product called Comfortis that both dogs and cats can take. You will need to switch all the pets over to a good flea product. Make sure to discuss these products with your veterinarian first. These products are generally safe for all pets but there are some conditions which are contraindicated for the oral products. Cleaning up and treating the house and yard will also help but it will not clear all the fleas. The main control is making sure the pets are on good products. This is what will ultimately stop the infestation. Also remember every female fleas lays about 50 eggs a day and it could take up to 6 months before the eggs hatch. Therefore, you will need to treat for at least 6 months. Best of

My dog is already on a heartworm medication that is effective on heartworm and stomach parasites. What products would you recommend for flea and tick protection? We have done a topical application, but still see fleas every now and then, but just one
I like Advantage. I use it on my dogs with great success. Keep in mind as well you have to disinfect the environment, as fleas live there and not on the animal. They only jump on the animal to feed. Wash Mocha's 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!

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!
