How does Onguard protect my Dog and kill fleas and ticks?
Once Onguard Flea & Tick for Dogs is applied, it stores itself in the oil glands in your pet's skin. It then self-distributes continuously for one month to your pet's hair and skin through the hair follicles, killing fleas and ticks.
How often should you apply Onguard Flea & Tick for Dogs?
It should be applied once per month to protect from fleas, ticks, and chewing lice.
How old does my dog need to be/or weigh to use Onguard Flea & Tick for Dogs?
Your pet should be at least 8 weeks old and at least 6 lbs to use this topical treatment. Please use the correct product for your pet's weight.
Can I use the same size of topical on my two dogs or can I buy a larger size and split the product between my dogs?
We always recommend using the proper size product for your pet. The active ingredients are in a liquid form and there would be no way to certain that you applied the proper amount of actives for your pet. This could lead to ineffective pest control or an overdose for your pet.
How long does Onguard take to dry?
We suggest keeping your pet off of carpet and furniture for around 2 hours to allow the product to dry.
Is Onguard Flea & Tick for Dogs waterproof? Does that mean pets can swim after application? Or can I bathe my pet after application?
Dogs can swim or be bathed after application but it is recommended that you wait 24-48 hours after application.
Can I use it if my pet is on medication?
Before using Onguard Flea & Tick for Dogs, ask your vet about possible interactions with any medications your dog is taking.
Can I apply Onguard Flea & Tick for Dogs on my cat?
No, never apply a dog product on a cat it is always recommended to apply the proper product for your pet.
I applied Onguard Flea & Tick for Dogs on my Dog, why am I still finding fleas?
You may still notice a small number of fleas after application as fleas rise to the top of the Dog’s haircoat as they die. However, if your dog had an infestation of fleas prior to application of Onguard, it may take a month or so to break the flea lifecycle and get rid of all fleas entirely. We also recommend treating your home to help avoid your dog picking up more fleas.
About Onguard Flea & Tick For Dogs
Onguard is a monthly topical spot treatment that helps eliminate fleas and ticks and protects your pet from painful bites and infestations. This flea and tick preventative treatment not only stops ticks and fleas in their tracks, but also prevents the hatching of new fleas and keeps fighting off ticks so your dog can find relief from these pests.
Fleas are not only a nuisance for your pup, but they may also cause bigger problems like flea allergy dermatitis. The best way to prevent and eliminate a flea problem is to attack them at all life stages, which Onguard does efficiently.
Flea finds a home
Once on your dog, it bites to feed within just 2 hours.
Eggs are laid
In 2 days, an adult flea will lay eggs.
Eggs hatch into larvae
Eggs fall off your pet, scatter around the home, and then hatch.
Larvae turn into pupae
Pupae can wait for up to a year before emerging as adult fleas.
Onguard uses two active ingredients that are commonly used to protect dogs from fleas and ticks. Fipronil and (S)-methoprene work together to stop an infestation in its tracks and prevent future ones. Fipronil kills adult fleas, ticks and chewing lice and aids in the control of sarcoptic mange mites. (S)-methoprene prevents reinfestation by eliminating flea eggs and larvae by disrupting their maturation. Together the two create a highly effective flea and tick preventative treatment.
These topical flea and tick treatments are easy to apply and effective for up to 30 days. Each box contains six applications so you can keep your pet protected for a full six months. Simply apply it between the shoulder blades of your pet, and the long-lasting solution will keep protecting them from fleas and ticks. The formula is both waterproof and sunlight-proof, so you don't have to worry about reapplication throughout the month.
Onguard is an effective preventative that kills ticks at all life stages and keeps them from coming back. Monthly applications of Onguard can protect your pet from ticks that may carry Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. It kills many of the most common types of ticks that carry these diseases.
Onguard is dedicated to protecting cats and dogs from the discomfort and diseases that come along with flea and tick infestations. That is why they offer efficient and effective flea and tick treatments that will keep your pet happy and healthy. Their monthly solutions for flea and tick prevention are convenient and ideal for busy pet parents who want to spend more time with their pets, not fighting off fleas and ticks.

I gave this a try to give a review to my pet sitting clients. I am disgusted. This is no better than Hartz from grocery store. Im a vet tech and can slso share findings with clinic clients. We live by lake with wildlife and strays and fleas can be an issue. I use advantix ll which keeps guys flea free. I let it lapse to test this. BIG MISTAKE! All dogs have stayed with fleas. there is no difference than no product at all. So whilst im out money paid im also out for capstar and a round of Advantix WHICH im risking because they have this on them but since it didnt do a flea kill i doubt another product would do harm.

I've been using this for 6 weeks. So far no signs of fleas or ticks on my dogs. No signs of skin irritation from product. We live on an acre of wooded land that has lots of bugs and wildlife passing through.We are located in SE Texas. I decided to try this product as the K9 Advatix II was not working as well as it used to. I had a vet say that some fleas become resistant to certain chemicals over time. So far I am please with this product. I should note that I make sure to wash my dogs with a flea/tick shampoo and apply this topical a few days later during flea season. Also you can treat your yard with OFF or Cutter brand yard sprays. They work really well if you are having a flea/tick infestation I've been using this for 6 weeks.

In the area I live in, Frontline and some other flea and tick treatments are now ineffective (and caused quite the infestation at our house a couple years ago...). So when I saw this for sale on Chewy, I was cautiously optimistic. I bought this for my shih tzu puppy and applied it to her, hoping it would work. I live in up in the woods where wildlife (and therefore tick food sources) are everywhere. And because she loves to run around like a crazy person everytime she gets outside, she picks up a LOT of ticks along the way. I've had her come back inside and I pick 4 ticks off of her, give her a bath, and find 2 more!! So when I realized this stuff was really working, I was ecstatic!

I couldn't be happier with this product and will definitely buy again when I'm out! … more

I purchased Onguard Flea and Tick treatment for my 18 lbs dog. I used Frontline for almost 5 years, and i changed it to Onguard because Chewy recommended it. Honestly. i do not really know the difference between Frontine and Onguard, but this product has light smell then other. the product is so far so good. when i receive the package, i felt really bad because it damaged in packaging. it seems like someone opened it first.. this is not for me, this is for my pet...thus i contacted Chewy to check. Chewy solve my problem within 2 mins! they shipped new product right away. i always satisfied with Chewy Customer service!

I have a serious tick problem and no fleas. I was a little concerned at first because it took at least 48 hours before I found the first dead tick. Since then it has worked fine at killing ticks on my 2 terriers. This product does nothing to deter ticks. My dogs still bring live ticks into the house. Before they die from the On Guard treatment I have found live ticks on furniture and myself when my dogs snuggle with me. I may try a different product that offers a deterant next time.

I thought I would give this a try because it was 1/2 off first order. I can’t put anything else on them for a month. I always get k9 advantix 2. But the last 2 orders I tried to get something a little cheaper. Not happy with this product.

I live in an area where if you don't get fleas or ticks infesting your home then you're one of the lucky ones. I've used other flea and tick products before and wound up with nightmarish stories involving ticks infesting my room (not fun). This product seems to work great though. Especially with how expensive some remedies can get, first time promotion makes it worth it. I'll definitely buy again.

I've used many other brands, but Ongaurd is amazing! I brought my dog into a heavily wooded area and all the other pups got so many ticks, but NOT my Shiba! She stayed tick and flea free the entire time. Highly recommend.

I don't know if it's the products or just a really horrible year for fleas, but absolutely nothing is helping this year! I'm at wits end! I've never had a flea problem, but I sure do now.

It was easy to put on my 15 lb Mauxie, #RubiWhit. I let it dry, and it wasnt noticeable at all. She used to use a prescription chewable, but after a couple months, still flea free on onguard. Same ingredients, but a way better value, and no prescription.
