My dog is over 132 lbs. How do I give flea & tick treatment?

Question

My dog is 188 pounds so what do I use to make up the difference since the weight only goes to 132 pounds for flea and tick treatment?? Pet's info: Dog | Mastiff | Male | neutered | 8 years and 5 months old | 188 lbs

What breed of dog do you have? I suggest you call the manufacturer of the flea and tick treatment you have on hand. Look on the packaging for the phone number for customer service, or the URL. They should have a customer service number on their web site. This is what I would do as a vet as well, as it is NOT possible to just add medication on for a higher weight. Most large dogs will need less medication per/lbs as the weight increases.
