APEX ANIMAL HEALTH Apex Plus Flea & Tick Prevention for Small Dogs (5–22 lb) 3-Month Supply — topical, dual-action fipronil + (S)-

Apex Plus Flea & Tick Prevention for Small Dogs is a monthly topical treatment that kills adult fleas and interrupts the flea life cycle while repelling ticks for up to three months of supply.

Designed specifically for dogs and puppies weighing 5–22 pounds, this three-month pack delivers a precise, easy-to-apply topical formula containing fipronil and (S)-methoprene. Together these ingredients address adult parasites and immature flea stages, helping reduce current infestations and lower the chance of recurrence when used as directed. Apex Plus is distributed across the coat by natural skin oils for consistent coverage and is intended for regular monthly use as part of a year-round parasite prevention plan.

How does Apex Plus stop fleas at every life stage?

Apex Plus combines an adulticide with an insect growth regulator to tackle fleas comprehensively. Fipronil targets adult fleas and ticks on contact, while (S)-methoprene prevents eggs and larvae from developing into reproducing adults. This dual-action approach reduces the existing parasite population and helps prevent future cycles.

• Fipronil targets adult fleas and common tick species quickly on the pet's skin and coat.
• (S)-methoprene stops flea eggs and larvae from maturing, breaking the lifecycle.
• Monthly repeat applications maintain continuous protection and reduce re-infestation risk.

Is the small-dog size appropriate for my pet?

The small-dog Apex Plus formulation is sized for dogs and puppies weighing between 5 and 22 pounds to ensure safe, measured dosing. Using the weight-specific tube helps deliver the correct amount of active ingredients for reliable efficacy. If your dog falls outside this weight range, choose the corresponding medium, large, or x-large product.

• Each tube calibrated to 5–22 lbs ensures accurate topical dosing.
• Weight-specific options available for pets above or below this range.
• Consult your veterinarian for multi-pet households or uncertain weights.

How do I apply Apex Plus, and when will it start to work?

Application is straightforward: part the hair at the base of the neck and apply the entire tube directly to the skin. Natural skin oils spread the formula across the coat; treat monthly for ongoing protection. Many pet owners observe a noticeable reduction in parasites within 24–48 hours after application, though full lifecycle control requires continued monthly use.

• Apply to the skin at the base of the skull, not on top of the fur, for best absorption.
• Allow the treated area to dry and avoid bathing for 48 hours when possible.
• Repeat every 30 days to sustain protection and interrupt flea development.

Can Apex Plus be used for both treatment and prevention?

Yes. Apex Plus is formulated to address active flea and tick infestations as well as to prevent future problems when used on schedule. Severe or persistent infestations may still require veterinary guidance and environmental control measures. Regular monthly application helps keep parasites from establishing on your dog.

• Use as a therapeutic measure to reduce current flea and tick loads.
• Use preventively to minimize the chance of new infestations.
• For heavy infestations, combine with environmental cleaning and vet consultation.

This Apex Plus three-month pack is best suited for pet owners looking for a clear, weight-specific topical solution for small dogs and puppies. If you want a monthly, easy-to-apply product that targets adult parasites and immature flea stages while fitting into a routine prevention plan, this formulation offers a balanced, size-tailored option. Always read the label carefully and consult your veterinarian for questions about age, concurrent medications, pregnancy, or severe infestations.
