Fast-Acting Oral Flea Treatment Soft Chews with Imidacloprid for Dogs 4-110 Pounds, 7- or 30-Count Options
A fast-acting oral flea treatment uses a flavored imidacloprid soft chew to start killing adult fleas within one hour. It is intended for active flea infestations rather than ongoing flea prevention, making it a convenient option when fleas are first noticed and a veterinarian or label-directed treatment plan calls for an oral dose.
Choose the Small Dog formula for animals weighing 4 to 22 pounds or the Large Dog formula for 23 to 110 pounds, with 7- or 30-count packages available. Dogs and puppies must be at least 10 weeks old. One dose is listed to leave the dog’s system within 24 hours, and treatment may be repeated as often as once daily if reinfestation occurs, but never exceed the label. This chew does not prevent fleas and should not replace a monthly flea and tick preventive.
