APEX ANIMAL HEALTH Flea & Tick Prevention for Small Dogs 2.27–9.98 kg — 3-Month Supply, Monthly Topical with Fast-Acting Adulticide & I

Apex Plus Flea & Tick Prevention for Small Dogs is a monthly topical treatment that kills adult fleas and ticks while preventing flea eggs and larvae from developing.

Apex Plus from APEX ANIMAL HEALTH combines a fast-acting adulticide with an insect growth regulator to interrupt the flea life cycle and provide up to three months of protection with the included doses. Formulated for small dogs weighing 5–22 pounds, this topical solution is designed for easy monthly application and disperses across the coat via natural skin oils to cover common parasite hotspots.

How quickly does Apex Plus start working on fleas and ticks?

The adulticide component begins eliminating adult fleas and ticks shortly after application, while the IGR prevents new generations from maturing. Results depend on infestation level, but most owners see a reduction in visible parasites within 24–48 hours.

• Contains a fast-acting adulticide to target currently present fleas and ticks.
• (S)-methoprene IGR stops flea eggs and larvae from developing.
• Visible parasite reduction commonly within 1–2 days in mild to moderate cases.

How should I apply Apex Plus to my small dog safely?

Apply directly to the skin at the base of the neck in one or two spots, avoiding hair-only application. Ensure the dog does not lick the treated area until it dries, and follow weight-specific dosing instructions provided on the package.

• Part the coat until skin is visible and apply at the recommended site.
• One dose per month for continuous prevention; three doses included for a 3-month supply.
• Do not bathe or swim for 48 hours after application for best absorption.

Can Apex Plus be used to treat an existing infestation or only for prevention?

Apex Plus is formulated for both immediate treatment of fleas and ticks on your dog and ongoing prevention to stop future generations. For heavy household infestations, combine topical treatment with environmental controls and consult a veterinarian if problems persist.

• Kills adults on contact and prevents immature stages from reaching maturity.
• Best used alongside cleaning of bedding and living areas for severe infestations.
• Speak with your veterinarian for integrated management in heavy infestations.

Is Apex Plus suitable for year-round use and different dog sizes?

• Designed for monthly application throughout the year for continuous protection.
• Available in weight-specific formulations to ensure accurate dosing.
• Topical distribution by natural skin oils helps maintain even coverage across the coat.
