My dogs monthly topical is due to be put on. Yet have been giving them the flea away supplement. I was wondering if it was safe for them to have both.

Yes they can have both at the same time. The "flea supplement" is not something I would recommend you give though. Fleas are extremely resistant and "natural" products are usually ineffective. They have no clinical trials or testing done on them and there is no ingredient in that product that makes sense to me as to how it would work to repel fleas. I think it is a waste of your money but it should not be harmful to give both products.
