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!

Congratulations on your new dog! I like Revolution if you are looking for a topical product. It consistently works well and is well tolerated. If you like the idea of an oral product better, I like Trifexis (it’s another all in one product). Sometimes though the pets can smell the Trifexis and they won’t eat it. In that instance, I like Simparica and Interceptor. My personal preference is oral products. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

No, if you are seeing fleas I would encourage treatment. I recommend using a different product with a different active ingredient from k9 Advantix. You could use another topical such as Revolution, or an oral product such as Nexgard or Bravecto. I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Fleas are super smart and have developed resistance to a lot of products. In the US we see fleas that are resistant to Frontline. Maybe a little less to Advantix/Advantage. Personally I think the new oral flea and tick preventions are the best: Nexgard and Simparica are monthly and Bravecto is one pill every 3 months. Also the Seresto collar is great and good value for the money, the collar lasts 8 months. These products are not cheap, they cost about $16/dose. But they are prescription from a Vet only. The price is worth the efficacy and it will save you in the long run from trying multiple products, bombing your house, etc plus it will help your dog quicker. I hope this helps and have a great day!
