It is always recommended to use caution when using these products on a pregnant pet. Although the package states it contains the same ingredients as Advantix II (which is labeled as safe for use in pregnant dogs), this box has the following warning on it: "As with any product, consult your veterinarian before using this product on debilitated, aged, pregnant or nursing animals." Frontline and Revolution are options and are both safe to use on pregnant dogs.
