Usually flea treatment shouldn't cause an issue with those medications, but I recommend checking with your veterinarian just in case, as the drugs in flea treatments can vary and may have different drug interactions based on the active ingredients. I recommend you give your vet a call with the brand of the product you intend to use on Buddy and have them check for you.
