Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Female | spayed | 5 years and 7 months old | 7.5 lbs
My 7 lb, 5 yr old female Maltese took Brevecto (3 mo) flea and tick medication last month, and was given a dose of Simparica (1 mo) this month... will she be OK? Both were for dogs her size.

Parker should be fine. Both Bravecto and Simparica are similar types of medication, but they are tested before being sold at multiple times the regular dose and have minimal side effects. She definitely shouldn't have fleas now!
