Ideally, you should return the product and exchange it for the appropriate size based on your dog's current weight. Manufacturer's packaging protects the product from 2 important things: light and air. Drugs and insecticides can be destroyed and rendered ineffective if mishandled. Keep in the syringe, expel all bubbles, and store in a cool, dark place. Refrigeration is ideal, but under the sink or other ‘chemical repository’ is ok. Airtight tupperware is best as some of these insecticides are volatile. [Revolution](https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/selamectin) is very volatile and must be stored chilled once packaging is breached. Do not freeze. [Frontline Plus](https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/frontline) (Fipronil & (s)-methoprene), use the following guidelines: The dose is 0.0305ml/pound. Multiply 0.0305 times your pet’s weight for dose (package instructions) Dogs 11-22 pounds - 0.67ml 0.6ml for 20lbs 0.75 for 25lbs Dogs 23-44 pounds - 1.34ml 0.9ml for 30lbs 1.5 for 50 lbs Dogs 45-88 pounds - 2.68ml 1.8ml for 60lbs 2.68 for 88lbs Dogs 89-132 pounds - 4.0ml 2.7ml for 90lbs 4.0 for 133lbs

You can wash the product off his har with Dawn dish soap (it is a grease/oil remover). Then wait 24 hours and apply the Frontline again. If you can't get the topical product on him effectively you may need to switch to an oral product or use a Seresto collar. One Seresto collar lasts up to 8 months. It is very cost effective and easy to use. You didn't mention the age of your puppy so be sure to read all package instructions to make sure products are safe to use on whatever age your puppy is. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Please do not feed garlic to your dog, it can cause blood disease in dogs! Here are instructions for flea prevention: Unfortunately fleas only hop on the body of your pet when they want to feed, then they hop off again and stay in your pet's environment. So you need to treat all pets in the household as well as the environment (which contains the fleas, their eggs and larvae). Flea treatment: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly 2) get flea powder, put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and vacuum your house and furniture and also non-carpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae and eggs which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the pet's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas. Flea products: Spot-ons and/or chews Advantage, Advantix Advantage Multi (Advocate in the UK) Frontline (ticks as well) Bravecto spot on (ticks as well) - for cats, in tablet form for dogs Simparica, Nexgard Revolution (stronghold in the UK) Tablets: comfortis (will only kill fleas once) Collar: Seresto (ticks as well)

Sometimes the best place to get advise for fleas is from the locals or the local veterinarian. The reason for this is that fleas in certain geographic areas are more susceptible to certain products than others. For instance, when I lived in NY everyone used Frontline and loved it. When I went down to Virginia, everyone hated it and their animals would be crawling with fleas regardless of use. Here in Pennsylvania, it doesn't seem to work well either. I find that that the Seresto collar is the most effective product, and it is nice because it lasts or eight months. It can be purchased over the counter on websites such as amazon or at Walmart. Hope this helps.
