Flea and Tick Prevention for Extra Small Dogs 5-10 lbs, 3‑Month

I recently purchased the Vectra 3D for Dogs and Puppies (Gold, for Extra Small Dogs 5-10 lbs, 3-month supply) for my 4-year-old, 10-lb terrier, and it’s been a game-changer for keeping fleas and ticks at bay! This topical treatment, containing Dinotefuran (4.95%), Pyriproxyfen (0.44%), and Permethrin (36.08%), starts reducing flea feeding in just 5 minutes and kills fleas within 4 hours, which is perfect for my active terrier who loves romping through grassy parks. Living in an area where ticks and mosquitoes are common, I’m thrilled that it repels and kills pests like Deer Ticks, Brown Dog Ticks, and mosquitoes without requiring a bite, reducing the risk of Lyme disease and other vector-borne illnesses. It also protects against lice, mites (excluding mange mites), and biting flies, offering broad-spectrum coverage for up to 30 days per dose. Applying Vectra 3D is a breeze with its patented applicator. I part my terrier’s wiry coat at the base of his tail and apply a continuous line to his shoulder blades, as instructed, and the quick-drying, non-greasy formula sets in without leaving a mess or strong odor. My dog showed no irritation or discomfort, which is crucial since terriers can have sensitive skin. The treatment is waterproof after 24 hours, so his occasional puddle-jumping doesn’t reduce its effectiveness. As an eco-conscious pet parent, I appreciate that it’s an over-the-counter product with no prescription needed, and the packaging is minimal, reducing waste. Overall, Vectra 3D has kept my terrier flea- and tick-free, even during our long walks in tick-prone areas. I highly recommend it to owners of small dogs who need reliable, fast-acting protection that’s easy to apply and long-lasting. My terrier and I are both happier for it!

Work at Banfield Pet hospital, we sell First shield trio it’s Rx only , had a rep from the manufacturer brand come in for a lunch and learn , vectra 3D is actually First shield trio , compared both boxes same ingredients! This is Rx flea control that’s OTC As a Vet Tech def recommend this to anyone who cannot go to the vet and get Rx flea control

Works good, no real complaints. I do wish it lasted longer, but I think it lasted as long as it was supposed to.

I gave this treatment to my Pomerania on April 23, 2026. I noticed on May 10th that my dog has fleas. I don't request this product.

Like the applicator as compared to others. My toy poodle has been itching and scratching for months while we used other flea, tick and mosquito products. The vet even put her on prescription medication that really didn’t stop the itching just made it a little less frequent. Tonight we applied this product and she hasn’t scratched once since the application. Not scratching once lasted for one evening. Update: She still gets her daily allergy pill and her itching seems less than before. It’s mosquitoe season and mosquitoes like black so I am guessing the mosquitoes probably bite her at least once as she is black. At this time I would say the product is awesome. I will update if things change.

Worth a try. Didn’t get rid of all fleas and I even did every three weeks . Ended up with a collar instead.

By week 3 this is wearing off, will find a flea or 2. Trying something different.

Finally, a collar that got rid of all of my 2 Shih Tzu‘s fleas. Easy to use, have had no problem with the collar falling off we’re coming off even when these two get rowdy and wrestle
