| Flea treatments My new Daisy is 4 months but only 2.6lbs. The flea treatment I use on Wall-e says for dogs 4-10 lbs. Does anyone know of a brand that is ok for the light-weights?

| Simparica should be okay for your little one. It is an oral flea/tick medication. The orals are the best for flea/tick because they have the best and fastest kill time. |

| One of my yorkies is only 3 pounds (he's 1.5 years old now) and even though frontline says it starts at 5 pounds my vet gave me the ok to give it to him. But the first time she told me to only use half and if he got sick to wash it off with dawn dish soap. He didn't get sick so she said it was ok to give him the full dose the next time. So far it hasn't made him sick and he's been taking it a while. It's really hard to find one for dogs under 4 or 5 pounds. |
