Can I buy K9 Advantix for my small dog at Petco for flea prevention?

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The Seresto collar is a flea and tick preventative that is safe for small dogs. It is a collar that provides up to 8 months of prevention. K9 Advantix II is also safe for dogs that are 4 pounds, and is a topical medication that is applied monthly. I recommend reaching out to your local veterinarian to see what products they have for the tiny dogs :) I do not recommend using a preventative that can be purchased from a food or pet store or online, as these are NOT safe or effective for use in dogs. Omega-3 supplements are generally very safe for dogs, but should be used in moderation as they are very high in fat. I hope this is helpful!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Mich. K9 Advntix II controls the mites that cause sarcoptic mange, but it does not treat it. You need medication from the vet to treat it. I would take him back into the vet to have skin scrapings done to check for mites. If he does have mites, then the vet can prescribe treatment for it. Best of luck.

It depends on the brand of flea and tick preventative and heartworm preventative. The best thing you can do is to check with your local PetCo or see if PetCo.com carries it online to order as a prescription. I hope this helps!

Yes, flea prevention is offered through VETCO clinics which is a mobile veterinary service that has weekend clinics inside local Petco stores. You can find out more information and look for clinics in you area on their website or call their customer service line.

Petco carries a variety of flea and tick medication over the counter. You can only get a prescription product from a veterinarian if they have examined Bruno. Petco does offer vaccine clinics but you would need to check with the specific services individually.

This is true! I’ve heard of counterfeit flea medication being sold on websites like Amazon. PetCo will have the real stuff, so it’s safe to buy from them. I do think getting it from the vet is best, as they have the prescription treatments that are the best on the market. I hope this helps!

There are many good flea and tick preventatives on the market. My first choice is Bravecto which is a chewable tablet that lasts 3 months. This product requires a prescription. If you're looking for something over the counter I prefer the Seresto collar which lasts 8 months. Both products are good for fleas and ticks
