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!

Thanks for visiting Boop by Petco. I really like the following products for small dogs: Simparica (30 day protection per pill), Nexgard (30 day protection per pill) or Bravecto (90 day protection per pill). They all also do tick prevention as well and are flavoared, so they are relatively easy to give because your pet thinks its a treat. Ask your veterinarian if these are available at their clinic, becuase different clinics carry different products in house. i hope this was helpful! Best wishes and take care.

There are several products effective against fleas and ticks that you can buy over the counter. They are in form of topical spot-on pipette that you apply on skin (for example Frontline, K9 Advantix), collars (Seresto, Killtix) or tablets (Nexgard). If you search online you will find many shops selling these products. Alternatively, you should be able to buy them in pet shops or at the vets.

The easiest way to do so is to go to your veterinarian and either buy the chews from him or get a prescription from your vet and get them over the internet. I am assuming you are looking to buy either Bravecto, Simparica or Nexgard. These are prescription only.
