We typically recommend waiting 3 weeks between product changes but if she is miserable, you are probably OK to give it to her now. Just be sure you are home to monitor her for any possible reactions. Hope this helps. If you have more questions you can always opt for a private consultation where we can chat back and forth. That way you can ask as many questions as you'd like. Best wishes!

I would contact your veterinarian for specific advice for Kera, but I can give you the following information. The two ingredients in Sentinel are very safe and there is a moderate dosage range. You don't mention Kiera's weight, but depending on her weight, repeating Sentinel may still be within her dosage range even if you gave the Sentinel on the 28th. I would also ask your veterinarinan about when you purchased the Sentinel since that may help you determine (with the number of tablets you have left) if you gave her one last month or not. Finally, it is generally recommended to repeat heartworm medication if you are not sure you gave it since heartworms and intestinal parasites can cause significant disease. I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Even though Sentinel spectrum is not licensed for cats, in this case there should be no problem with this medication and dosage as the ingredients (milbemycin oxime, lufenuron and praziquantel) each are licensed for cats. There is not enough of each in the 2-8lbs dog dosage to hurt your kitty. I suggest you hide the rest of the sentinel so Maurice does not find it. Praziquantel tends to sometimes make cats vomit, so this could happen within the next 30 minutes or so. This should not be a problem.

Hello. I would stop the Cap Shield Plus because it contains lufernon & so does the Sentinel. Lufernon is useful for flea control, but does not kill adult fleas. You can use a similar product just called Capstar, & this can be used daily, if necessary to kill adult fleas. Or, you can administer it as needed if you see fleas. It is safe to give with the Sentinel. You can also use something else to kill your adult fleas & get ticks, such as Frontline Gold, Advantix or even a Seresto Collar to compliment the Sentinel. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Sentinel is a monthly heartworm and intestinal parasite prevention. It also is a birth control for fleas. This means it does not kill the adult flea but it prevents them from laying eggs. If your pet has a flea allergy, this product would not be helpful because the flea would still be able to bite. There are many other flea preventions that kill adult fleas like Nexgard, Vectra, Frontline Gold, and Revolution. If you are having flea problems, I would talk to your vet about other options they have. Good luck!
