| Frontline Plus dosage for 5 lb dog? We have a 5lb. dog that is one year old. She will be on Frontline Plus but I am concerned about the dosage. The "small dog" dosage is for dogs 5lb to 22lb. It is hard to think that a 5lb dog can have the same dosage as a dog four times her weight. What flea/tick protection do all of you use for your tiny pups? (My last dog was a Lab so I didn't worry about such things.) |

| I use half doses. I recently switched because FL isn't working well for ticks here. I'm now using Sentinel for heart worm, parasite and fleas and am about to try the Preventic tick collar recommended by my dog's neurologist as being safe for him and very effective against ticks. We can't use Nexguard due to seizures and won't use toxic permethrin like advantix II.
