- Consult with your vet before application.
- Follow the product packaging guidelines closely.
- Monitor your puppy for any adverse reactions.
For puppies, it's critical to use age-appropriate treatments. K9 Advantix II can be safely used on puppies that are at least 7 weeks old. With a 3-month-old puppy, you should still confirm with your veterinarian to ensure it's suitable for your pet's specific weight and health status. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and observe your puppy for any unusual symptoms after application.
