2. Can I use Advantage on my puppy?

Advantage for Dogs is suitable for use on puppies. The treatment of the mother, prior to weaning, helps protect the litter through their close contact. You can treat individual puppies after they have been weaned from their mother.

3. Can I bathe my dog while using Advantage?

5. Can I use Advantage with other medications?

To avoid any probable interactions, please consult your veterinarian before using Advantage topical for dogs in conjunction with other medications.

6. Can I split an Advantage tube between dogs?

It is not recommended to split an Advantage tube between pets. For full efficacy, it is required that your dog receives the correct and full dosage. Please refer to the product label and follow the usage directions. If in doubt, please consult your veterinarian.

7. Do I need to use Advantage if my dog mostly stays indoors?

Fleas can hitchhike on other pets in the house during their outside exposure or on clothes and shoes, and can also find their way inside from open doors and windows. Indoor pets can catch flea infestations from their environment and are, thus, not completely protected from parasite attacks. It is therefore recommended to administer parasite treatments and preventives even to dogs that mostly stay indoors.
