Puppies also get sarcoptic mange and American Dog Tick coverage, while kittens benefit from added roundworm and hookworm protection. Your vet will confirm which of these are most relevant based on where you live and your pet's lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ2: What is the minimum age for using Selarid on puppies and kittens?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selarid is approved for puppies from six weeks of age and kittens from eight weeks of age. Using it on younger animals is not safe, as their systems are still developing and not equipped to process this type of medication without risk of serious harm. Always confirm your pet has reached the minimum age before starting treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ3: Why must Selarid never be applied to sick or underweight puppies and kittens?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Young animals that are malnourished or in poor health cannot process selamectin the way a healthy animal would, which means the medication can reach dangerous levels in the body. This risk is particularly serious in very young or very small patients whose organ function is not fully developed. A thorough health and weight check before every application is an important safety step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: When should heartworm prevention with Selarid be started in puppies and kittens?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Starting as early as the minimum age allows is the best approach for heartworm prevention, since getting protection in place before significant mosquito exposure gives the medication the best chance of working as intended. Your vet will advise on the right time to begin based on your location, the local transmission season, and your pet's overall health at the time of the first visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ5: How does Selarid for puppies and kittens differ from the adult cat and dog formulations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e The mauve box formulation is calibrated for very young, very small patients under five pounds, and it also includes species-specific coverage that adult formulations do not all share, such as intestinal worm protection for kittens. The number of applicators per box also differs, with the mauve box containing three rather than six. Your vet will confirm which variant is the right match for your pet's weight and age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical Research\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/dog\/conditions\/infectious-parasitic\/heartworm-disease-in-dogs\" title=\"Heartworm disease in dogs: symptoms, causes and treatment | petmd\" aria-label=\"Visit a webpage about Heartworm disease in dogs: symptoms, causes and treatment | petmd\"\u003ePetMD – Heartworm Prevention in Puppies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/flea-control-in-dogs-and-cats\" title=\"Vca hospitals – flea control in pets\" aria-label=\"Visit a webpage about Vca hospitals – flea control in pets\"\u003eVCA Hospitals – Flea Control in Pets\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Varies (Generic)","offers":[{"title":"1 Dose (1 Month Supply)","offer_id":44260910530721,"sku":"5552916741-1","price":16.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Dose (3 Month Supply)","offer_id":44260910563489,"sku":"5552916741","price":47.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Dose (6 Month Supply)","offer_id":44260910596257,"sku":"5552916741-PK2","price":94.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0593\/2446\/5313\/files\/selarid-topical-solution-selamectin-for-puppies-and-kittens-5-lbs-436.jpg?v=1778104005","url":"https:\/\/hardypaw.com\/en-ca\/products\/selarid-topical-solution-puppies-kittens","provider":"HardyPaw","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
