We started our Bella on Revolution, which is available in smaller doses for dogs under five pounds. Revolution prevents heartworms, fleas, dog ticks, and worms. It is applied topically on the back of the neck, and each treatment lasts a month. We started Bella on it right after her first vet wellness checkup at about 9 weeks. Please take your puppy to the vet as soon as possible after you pick it up for a wellness checkup, and ask the vet for their recommendations.
