It effectively kills nearly all adult fleas in 8 hours and completely destroys ticks in 12 hours.

Can I combine more than one treatment?

Absolutely! Most flea, tick, and worming products on the market are safe when used in combination with other products. In many cases you may find combining 2 or more products is necessary for complete coverage.

How frequently should I treat my dog for fleas, worms, and ticks?

Adult dogs must be protected against heartworm and fleas at all times.

When it comes to intestinal worms, adult dogs should be wormed at least every three months, but those who come into contact with children, the elderly, or immune-compromised people should be wormed monthly.

Puppies are more vulnerable to the health effects of worms than adults, so they must be dewormed more frequently. We recommend fortnightly from 2 weeks to 12 weeks, monthly until 6 months, and at least 3 monthly after that for the rest of your life.

What flea and worming treatments are suitable for my puppy?

Most flea and worming products are safe for puppies to use, though the minimum age varies. Before giving your puppy any treatments, always read the label and product information and consult a veterinarian if you are unsure. Intestinal wormers should be started at the age of two weeks, and heartworm prevention should begin at the age of twelve weeks.
