Flea/tick medication for 9 week old puppy? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I spotted a little tiny bug on my yorkie's ear today. I quickly brushed it off without taking a close look at it so I am not even sure if it's a flea/tick. I checked the rest of his body and found nothing else, but if eggs have been laid, I will probably need to buy flea/tick medication.

I have no idea if they make them for puppies, does anyone have some safe recommendations?

I've used frontline plus for 11 years now in all my dogs. All were started as puppies. I use half doses.

Advantix II is safe for puppies 7 weeks and older, that's what we use on Lola
