- Monitor your puppy for signs of discomfort or allergies after applying any flea product.
- Consider alternative flea treatments specifically designed for puppies if in doubt.
Using the wrong flea treatment can be harmful to young puppies, leading to skin irritation or more serious health issues. It's always best to follow the manufacturer's instructions and, when in doubt, consult with a veterinarian for guidance.
To ensure your puppy's safety and health, book a consultation with one of our veterinarians at Dial A Vet.
