| Flea and tick meds At what age can you use flea and tick meds? Lily is 16 weeks and weighs about 2 1/2 lb. we are just now taking her outside some. The breeder gave me Advantixmulti however it says 3-9 lb so I am afraid to use it. Any suggestions?

| Just my opinion.......but I would definitely ask your vet. It all depends on the flea medicine and the puppies weight. Remy is 2 lbs 3 ounces and I have not used any flea medicine yet. My vet gave me a Comfortis pill to give him once he reached 2 lbs. Knowing my Remy he will not eat that big pill. I have the Revolution/Stronghold puppy medicine that I am going to use on him soon. Each puppy is different but my concern would be that your medicine says 3 to 9 lbs and your baby is only 2 lbs. I hope this helps.

| Rosie used Revolution <5 lbs for puppies and kittens. and although I was scared to use it on her bc she was small, she never reacted badly to it.

| Revolution! My vet said other brands claim to be water proof, but Revolution is the only one that actually is. And my vet said MJ can use it when he was 17weeks, so that should be an okay age for you. |
