Amazon Basics Flea and Tick Drops for Medium Dogs, 3 Count, Medium Dogs (23-44 lbs), topical

This pack of flea drops for medium dogs holds three monthly topical applications, one pipette for each treatment. Each dose is made for dogs and puppies weighing 23-44 lbs that are 8 weeks of age or older. Fipronil at 9.8% and (s)-methoprene at 8.8% are the two active ingredients in every application.

What the box contains

• 3 monthly applications of the topical drops
• One pack of 3 count, listed as Pack of 1
• Packaging that may vary between orders

Three doses are included, which the label describes as up to 90 days of flea and tick protection from the pack. The item itself weighs 18 g (0.6 oz).

Does your dog fit the weight and age limits?

The drops are made for dogs and puppies from 23 to 44 lbs, and the animal must be at least 8 weeks old. A dog outside that weight range, or younger than 8 weeks, does not match the label.

Two further checks apply before use. The product is for external use on dogs only, and the label says not to treat a dog with more than one pesticide product at a time. Overdosing a dog can result in adverse effects.

Fipronil and (s)-methoprene in each dose

Fipronil makes up 9.8% of the formula and (s)-methoprene 8.8%, with the remaining 81.4% listed as other ingredients. Pests named on the packaging include ticks, chewing lice, biting flies, flea larvae, flea eggs and fleas, as the label shows.

How the drops work through the month

One application is stated to provide up to 30 days of protection, and the three-dose pack covers up to 90 days. That gives a dog owner a set schedule of three treatments.

The product is waterproof 24 hours after application, so from that point on the label treats water exposure as acceptable. The drops are unscented and come in liquid form, applied from a pipette.
