Guardian Nitenpyram

Fleas do not wait for a convenient moment. Each nitenpyram gelcap is dosed by your dog's weight, and it starts working in about 30 minutes. A dog that picked up fleas at the kennel, the groomer or the back of the truck can settle down the same afternoon.

The gelcap is blended with real smoked meat, and the outer wall carries the scent of the meat inside. There are no preservatives and no artificial flavors. The gelcap is gentle enough to give daily to puppies and to pregnant or nursing dogs, which makes it a practical choice for a household with a litter or a new mom on the place.

What it's for

Many dogs fight the tub, and a bath only reaches the fleas the water touches. A gelcap given with a treat avoids the fight and goes to work on the fleas on the dog within about 30 minutes, then clears the body within 24 hours.

It suits a dog that goes places: the boarding kennel, the dog park, the trailer. It is easy to give in the morning before you leave for work. If your dog is near the top of the weight range, weigh him first, since the dose is set by weight.

How to use it

Read the directions before the first dose, and match the dose to the dog's weight.

1. Match the gelcap to your dog's weight range.
2. Give one gelcap with a treat or a small amount of food.
3. It starts working in about 30 minutes.
4. Ask your vet how often to dose if fleas keep coming back.
5. Store the bottle closed, out of reach of children and of a dog that can reach the counter.

Good to know

• Weigh the dog first if he is near the top of the range.
• Ask your vet how to treat the home and yard, since fleas that leave the dog can stay in the house.

Keep a bottle in the cabinet so the next flea does not get a head start.
