Frequently asked questions about flea and tick tablets for dogs

Does AdTab act immediately after administration?

AdTab begins to act quickly after ingestion. However, parasites must attach and feed to be exposed to the product. Fleas are eliminated within a few hours, which quickly relieves itching. This rapid action also limits flea egg-laying and therefore contamination of the environment.

Do ticks fall off as soon as the tablet is given?

No, ticks do not fall off instantly. They must first attach to the dog to ingest blood containing lotilaner. Once exposed, they are eliminated within a few hours. This mechanism significantly reduces the risk of disease transmission, although it cannot be completely ruled out.

Can AdTab be used all year round?

Yes, AdTab can be used all year round. Even though infestations are more frequent in spring and summer, fleas can be present indoors throughout the year. Continuous monthly administration is therefore recommended to ensure optimal protection and avoid any reinfestation.

Does AdTab replace a dewormer?

No, AdTab acts only on external parasites (fleas and ticks). It does not protect against internal parasites such as digestive worms. It is therefore advisable to combine AdTab with a suitable dewormer for complete protection.

Is the tablet easy to administer?

Yes, AdTab is designed to be palatable. Most dogs accept it spontaneously as a treat. If necessary, it can be mixed with food to make administration easier.

What should I do if my dog spits out the tablet?

If the tablet is not fully ingested, it is recommended to give a new one to ensure the correct dosage. Incomplete intake may reduce the treatment's efficacy. If in doubt, it is best to seek advice from a professional.

Can AdTab be given to a puppy?

Yes, AdTab can be used in puppies provided the manufacturer's recommendations are followed, particularly regarding weight and age. It is advisable to check this information before administration.
