      How important is it to keep within the weight guidelines when using Hartz flea and tick products for dogs?
      It is very important to keep within the weight guidelines when using dog topicals. For example, if your dog weighs 20 lbs. and you use drops for a 4-15 lb dog, then you are lowering the dosage and hence lowering the efficacy of the product. On the other hand, if you were to use drops for a dog weighing over 60 lbs. on your 20 lb dog, then you are going above the recommended dosage set forth by the EPA for safety. Just like with a medication it is important not to go above or below the recommended dosage.
