How old does my 22 pound 3.5 month old Australian Shepherd puppy need to be before can start flea protection? Afraid he will get them while on walks and bathroom breaks.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Storm is old enough and weighs enough to start many different kinds of flea and tick prevention. Frontline, Advantage, Advantix, the Seresto Collar and Nexgard are all appropriate now. Have a great day!
