    dosage for K9 advantix - please help!

    Hi everyone,
    So I want to order K9 Advantix flea & tick control for my dog, Sasha (a Shih Tzu), but I'm not sure if I should get the dosage for 1-10 lbs or 11-20 lbs, since she's about 10.5 lbs, so right in between the two... I don't want to give her too high a dose, but I also want her to be well protected, especially because we'll be in an area with a lot of ticks and mosquitoes this summer.
    Advice is appreciated! Thanks!

    Did you ask your vet?  Harley was 11 pounds when I took him to the vet and I had gotten the 11-22 lbs.  Harley did have a small reaction and his skin got red on his shoulders.  Right now I am trying the Sentry Natural Defense flea drops on him.

    Hi Kathleen, I think the 1-10 lbs dosage should be just fine for your baby Tzu. My pup is the same weight as of now and am using the same dosage on him. Now when he reaches the 12lb mark I will need to use the bigger dose.
     
    You can call the vet to ask also, to be on the safe side.
