Important Information
Onguard works to eliminate fleas in all life stages. If you’re still seeing fleas after application, it may be because your dog has picked up new fleas from the environment, which may include other pets, surfaces and outdoor areas. Don’t worry, Onguard starts working immediately on any new fleas that get on your dog, eliminating them within 24 hours from contact. It may take up to 30 days to break the entire flea life cycle. Additionally, you should also treat sources of new fleas (i.e., carpet, yard, etc.) to ensure complete flea control.

Will I stop seeing fleas after the first application?
Onguard works to eliminate all life stages of those fleas that are already on your dog. While your dog can still get new fleas from an untreated environment, Onguard will continually eliminate any new fleas within 24 hours form contact, with uninterrupted monthly treatment. To ensure complete flea control, you must treat environmental sources of recurring flea infestations, including other pets, household surfaces and outdoor areas.
What if I still see fleas on my dog after treatment?
Seeing more fleas after treatment can be a good thing, as fleas come up to the top of your dog’s coat as they are eradicated. If your dog has had an ongoing flea infestation prior to applying Onguard, it may take up to a month to break the flea lifecycle and eliminate them entirely. Your dog can also pick up fleas from other pets, household surfaces and outdoor environments like the yard, so you must treat these other sources of flea infestations for more complete flea control.
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 dog after application?
It is recommended to wait 24-48 hours after application prior to your pet getting wet or being bathed. If this has happened the effectiveness of the product may be reduced. You can bathe your pet with a dishwashing liquid to remove any of the product that is still left, wait 24 hours and another application can be applied.
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 like this treatment for two reasons: The weight and placement on the dog. This has a wide range for the weight than most flea and tick treatments. I like that fact that I just have to put this between my dog’s shoulder blades. I wonder why it leaves a white residue after it dries??

Just so you know, I am verrrry disappointed in the Onguard flea treatment. Used it faithfully on both dogs and one cat and it didn't do a darn thing. I would never ever buy it again at any price and wish I could rate it a zero.

I saw a couple fleas on my dog and immediately gave both of them a bath. After 3 days I applied the OnStar Flea and Tick Protection and haven't seen a flea since! I noticed no side effects, like lethargy or nausea, which I usually see after after spot on applications. This product is worth the money!

I treated them on the 21st because I had seen a couple ticks. Today is the 29th and I have more then before. Now I am worried about doing any other treatment because of to many chemicals on them. Do not buy it does not work!

We treat our fenced in yard with flea and tick granules, however we were going on vacation with our fur family. They were totally protected from those nasty flea and ticks in the mountains.
