Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What pests does this topical treatment protect small dogs against?

Ans: This once-a-month formula provides five-way protection, repelling and killing fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, biting flies, and lice. It targets all life stages of fleas and ticks, making it one of the broadest-coverage topical treatments available specifically for small dogs.

Q2: How quickly does this treatment start killing fleas after application?

Ans: It kills existing fleas on dogs within 12 hours of application. Reinfesting fleas are eliminated within 2 hours, and protection against further infestation lasts at least 4 weeks. Monthly reapplication is required to maintain continuous flea and tick control.

Q3: How is this treatment applied to small dogs differently from larger dogs?

Ans: For small dogs under 21 lbs, the entire contents of the tube are applied to a single spot between the shoulder blades. Dogs over 21 lbs require 3-4 application spots from the shoulder to the tail. Always part the hair to apply directly at skin level for full effectiveness.

Q4: Why is this treatment dangerous for cats?

Ans: The formula contains permethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid that is highly toxic to cats and can be fatal if applied to them or ingested. Treated dogs must be kept away from cats for 24 hours after application, and this product must never be applied to cats under any circumstances.

Q5: Which tick species does this monthly treatment protect against?

Ans: It repels and kills Deer Ticks that may transmit Lyme disease, American Dog Ticks that may transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Brown Dog Ticks that may transmit Ehrlichiosis, and Lone Star Ticks that may also transmit Ehrlichiosis for up to four weeks per dose.

Q6: Is this treatment waterproof after application?

Ans: Yes, the formula is fully waterproof and remains effective after bathing, swimming, rain, and exposure to sunlight. However, the dog must stay completely dry for 24 hours immediately after application to allow the product to properly absorb into the skin.

Q7: Can puppies use this treatment?

Ans: It is approved for dogs and puppies at least 7 weeks old and weighing at least 5 lbs. Do not apply to younger puppies or those below the minimum weight, as doing so may cause adverse reactions or serious harm to the animal.

Q8: What should I do if my small dog shows a reaction after application?

Ans: If side effects such as skin irritation, lethargy, or agitation appear, consult a veterinarian immediately. For emergencies, call 1-833-571-1532, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Have the product container on hand when calling for the most accurate guidance.

Q9: Does this treatment also work against mosquitoes?

Ans: Yes, permethrin in this formula repels and kills mosquitoes for up to four weeks per treatment, preventing blood feeding on treated dogs. This makes it especially valuable for small dogs that are frequently outdoors or live in areas with high mosquito activity.

Q10: Should this treatment be applied year-round for small dogs?

Ans: Yes, year-round monthly treatment is recommended. Fleas and ticks can remain active or remain dormant even in cold climates, emerging when conditions change. Consistent monthly application is the most effective way to prevent infestations and protect small dogs year-round.
