Troubleshooting
My dog refused to eat the tablet.
Try offering the tablet mixed with a small amount of their favorite food or treat. You can also try breaking the tablet into smaller pieces and mixing them into their meal.
I still see fleas or ticks on my dog after treatment.
Ensure the tablet was given correctly and your dog's weight matches the product.

If the problem persists after the full action time, consult your vet, as your home environment may require treatment for fleas.
My dog vomited shortly after taking the tablet.
