What is the minimum age and weight for this product?
This specific variant of Advantage Chewable is suitable for puppies aged 8 weeks and older, weighing at least 1.3 kg. This particular product is for dogs weighing between 1.3 kg and 2.5 kg.
Does it protect against all types of ticks?
Yes, Advantage Chewable is effective against all four major UK tick species: *Ixodes hexagonus* (Hedgehog tick), *Ixodes ricinus*, *Rhipicephalus sanguineus*, and *Dermacentor reticulatus*.
How quickly does it start working?
It starts killing fleas within 4 hours and *Ixodes ricinus* ticks within 8 hours. Other tick species are killed within 48 hours.
Can I give the tablet with food?
Yes, it is recommended to give the tablet with or shortly after a meal for optimal absorption and to help ensure your dog consumes it fully.
What if my dog spits out the tablet or doesn't eat it?
The tablet is beef-flavoured for high palatability. If your dog still refuses it, try offering it with a small amount of their favorite food. If difficulties persist, consult your veterinarian.
Is this product suitable for dogs over 2.5kg?
No, this specific product is for dogs weighing 1.3-2.5kg. Advantage Chewable is available in other variants for different weight ranges. Always ensure you select the correct product for your dog's current weight.
Troubleshooting
My dog won't eat the tablet.
Try administering the tablet with a small amount of food or after a meal. The beef flavor is designed to be appealing, but some dogs can be picky. If refusal persists, consult your veterinarian for alternative administration methods or flea/tick control options.
I'm still seeing fleas or ticks after administration.
It's normal to see existing fleas and ticks on your dog for a short period after treatment, as the product needs time to take effect. Fleas are killed within 4 hours, and ticks (like *Ixodes ricinus*) within 8 hours, with other tick species taking up to 48 hours. Ensure you are administering the tablet monthly without missing a dose. Also, treat the home environment for fleas, as new fleas can hatch and jump onto your dog.
My dog vomited shortly after taking the tablet.
If your dog vomits shortly after taking the tablet, contact your veterinarian. They can advise whether another dose is needed or if alternative treatment should be considered. Giving the tablet with food can sometimes help reduce stomach upset.
