Can you give Zodiac Spot On to 8 week old puppies?

Answer by  Trueakitalover (1728)

Yes this is the age that it suggests that you start using it on a puppy. Any younger and it would be too much for them and could possibly make them sick.

Answer by  Kaydee (252)

I would not recommend using Zodiac Spot On on puppies due to the harsh chemicals in it that can cause severe reactions such as lethargy, seizures or even death. Although it is cheaper, it contains older chemicals that are much more toxic than the newer flea medications. I would recommend getting flea protection from your local veterinarian.

You really need to call the vet about that I know they administer that by weight and if you give it to them and they aren't heavy enough you can kill them by using it.

Do not use zodiac products. It is incredibly common for over the counter flea/tick products to be toxic to dogs and cats. They can cause seizures and permanent damage. Always get your flea and tick products from your vet. And do not use anything on 8 week old puppies- they are especially fragile at this age.

You should check with a vet to make sure it's safe, but usually spot treatments are safe in 8 week old puppies.

Yes, you can give Zodiac Spot On to eight week old puppies. It is for dogs and puppies six months of age or older.

Answer by  Shalena (21)

No, it is not a good idea to give your dogs the Zodiac Spot On flea and tick control if they are six months old or younger. If you would like to use some sort of flea and tick control for the puppy, I recomend using the flea and tick collars, or using the flea and tick shampoo's.

It is not recommended that you use zodiac spot on puppies less than six months old. Several other brands are usable on younger puppies such as advantage and frontline.

Yes, you can, provided you have chosen the appropriate variant of the Zodiac, suited for the puppy's age and size. In case of doubts you should consult your veterinarian!
