Product Information

Full details

Stronghold Spot-On is a versatile parasite control solution designed for dog owners seeking a comprehensive defense against both internal and external threats. It is ideal for dogs weighing between 5.1 and 10kg, offering protection against fleas, mites, and specific internal worm parasites in a single, easy-to-apply topical treatment. While highly effective, it is crucial to ensure you select the correct dosage based strictly on your dog's current weight to maintain safety and efficacy.

FAQs

Is this product safe for puppies?

Please consult your veterinarian regarding the minimum age and weight requirements for your specific puppy before application.

Can I use this on a cat?

No, you must use products specifically formulated for cats. Always check the packaging to ensure the product is labeled for the correct species.

How often should I apply Stronghold?

It is generally recommended to apply the treatment once every month for consistent protection.

Does this protect against ticks?

Stronghold is primarily focused on fleas, mites, and certain internal worms. Consult your vet if you require protection against ticks.

What if my dog is slightly over 10kg?

Do not exceed the dosage. If your dog has gained weight and is now over 10kg, you should switch to the medium dog (10.1-20kg) formulation.

Troubleshooting

Dog tries to lick the application site.

Distract your dog with a toy or treat for a few minutes immediately after application until the liquid is fully absorbed.

The dog was bathed immediately after application.

If the dog was washed shortly after application, the efficacy may be reduced. Contact your veterinarian to see if a re-application is necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To apply, ensure your dog is standing comfortably. Part the hair at the base of the neck to expose the skin. Empty the entire contents of the tube onto a single spot, being careful not to rub the product into the fur. Avoid applying to broken or wet skin. After application, wait until the area is completely dry before allowing the dog to swim or be bathed. Store the product in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and ensure it remains inaccessible to children and other pets.
