| I use heartguard on both of my babies for heartworm and I use K9 Advantix for fleas, ticks, and mosquitos. I like heartguard because I don't have to worry about them eating the pill, they think it's a treat. My vet also said Advantix is the best for fleas and stuff...

| Can they give anything against fleas to 9 week old pups? My pups love it outside but the fleas are crazy. I gave them a flea bath & they were freezing sitting there a couple of minutes in the lather & scared since they aren't used to baths yet.

| I'm not familiar with revolution but the flea and tick med I have on mine is Frontline Plus, which I've used since I got them at 10 weeks. Some people with very tiny puppies use half the dosage. You put it on the back of the head, once a month. For heartworms I use Heartguard, which looks like a pink, square treat. This is also once a month. If you are unsure of whether or not to use and the mosquitos are bad, like here in Fl., I'd use pads rather than let my puppy get bitten by a mosquito carrying the heartworm infestation. If you want, try using Avon's Skin so Soft. It is definitely something that will keep fleas off. |

| Thanks. The pups are going to the vet Saturday & I'm sure they will have something. I just get impatient. Pixie - Maybe they won't get any fleas until you go back next week. I bought flea shampoo & it's supposed to be good for 10 days. Maybe use that until Revolution comes in.
