Hello Please help.. My dog is 27,5kg, she is a 21 months old GSD. WE've just moved and sing up with a new vet.. The time came for the worming tablets, we use Milbemax chewable; In the past we always got 2 big tablets as advised on the packaging but
Because the dosing range for Milbemax is so broad (5-25kg and 25-50kg) and because Samantha is right on the border of the dosing range, it is possible your new vet felt that one larger and one smaller tablet would be an adequate amount to protect Samantha. I recommend you check with your vet to be sure.

the vet gave me Combo Guard and Simple Guard to use on my dog. Is there something else I can use? do I have to use both?
These drugs are used for different reasons. Combo Guard is used to prevent heartworms and intestinal worms, along with fleas. Simple Guard protects against fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, lice, mites, and sand flies. In order to protect your dog again heartworms and intestinal worms, then yes you have to use both. You can use Advantage Multi that controls fleas, prevents heartworm infection, and kills intestinal parasites, but that is available by prescription only from your vet. If you want to go back to your vet to get it, then it's fine to use, but if not, I would use the medication your vet gave you for him.

My 9 month old, indoor cat has fleas and we purchased Capguard from our local pet store and gave him his first pill last night. We also washed him with blue dawn dish soap and vacuumed our whole house last night. Should we give him another pill fro
Capguard can be given daily as long as you are seeing fleas on your pet. Another option would be a topical such as Frontline, Advantage, or Revolution. These are monthly applications. Since Bear has been bathed recently, you will need to wait about 2-3 days before applying a topical preventative. Treat monthly for at least three consecutive months to break the flea life cycle. Year round treatment is recommended. In addition to vacuuming, you should wash all bedding in hot water.

Hello. My cat has a major case of fleas. I did research and found products that could possibly help. I'm just worried that they could cause harm if used in combination with each other. Would it be safe to use Advantage II and Sentry Capguard tablets
Great question! Yes it is fine to use Advantage II and Capguard at the same time. Capguard is a one time pill that starts killing fleas in 30 minutes, but doesn't provide lasting flea protection. The Advantage II will provide monthly protection from fleas as long as you apply it once a month. Be very sure to get the correct dose for Troy's weight, as cats are exquisitely sensitive to flea medications. 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 am moving from Loa Angeles to northern Georgia with my two indoor-only cats, but the area will be forested and screens only provide so much protection from mosquitoes. I am concerned about feline heartworm. What is the best topical preventative a
Love his name! That is awesome! I would recommend Revolution or Advantage Multi. I personally like Advantage Multi better. Any product containing a heartworm prevention is a prescription item so you need to get your vet to either dispense the product or write you a script. I hope this helps. Best of luck with your move!
