Johnsons 4fleas Tablets For Puppies & Small Dogs

Johnson’s 4fleas Tablets for Puppies & Small Dogs are an oral treatment for adult fleas in dogs over four weeks old weighing 1–11kg. Each tablet contains nitenpyram 11.4mg. Effects on fleas may be seen as soon as 15 minutes after administration, with complete efficacy against adult fleas reached within 24 hours according to the authorised packaging.

Choose a pack of three or six tablets. Oral administration leaves no topical treatment residue on your dog’s coat.

Dose and administration

Weigh your dog before treatment. For a puppy or small dog over four weeks old weighing 1–11kg, give one tablet when fleas are seen. Both the age and weight requirements must be met. Do not use in animals younger than four weeks or weighing less than 1kg. Follow the supplied packaging; ask your vet about suitability at any unclear age or weight boundary.

Give directly into the mouth or disguise in a small portion of food and give immediately. Treatment may be repeated on subsequent days if necessary, but do not give more than one treatment per day. Dogs above this weight range require the appropriate larger-dog product.

Managing reinfestation

These tablets treat adult fleas and do not have persistent activity. They are not a monthly preventative, do not directly treat flea eggs or larvae, and do not treat ticks. Ask your vet for an appropriate flea-control programme, including suitable treatment for immature flea stages.

Vacuum bedding and regular resting areas, wash or change bedding, and use suitable household treatments according to their instructions. Other pets require products appropriate to their species, age and weight.

Precautions

For dogs only. The authorised product information permits use during pregnancy and lactation and in breeding dogs. No known interactions are listed, and compatibility with commonly used veterinary medicines has been demonstrated. Ask your vet when planning a combined treatment programme.

Your dog may scratch more during the first hour as fleas react to the treatment. Very rare reported reactions include temporary hyperactivity, panting, vocalisation, excessive grooming or licking, muscle tremors, lack of coordination and convulsions. Contact your vet if serious or unexpected effects occur, or signs of illness persist or appear.

Storage

Do not store above 25°C. Keep the container in the outer carton and out of the sight and reach of children. Do not use after expiry. Always read the supplied packaging before use and follow its disposal instructions.
