Question by ctmom05: question to dog people about “Program” brand flea control products?
Program flea control products for canines is offered in a chewable flavor tab form.

Is it a timed-release medication? If it is, then the tablet cannot be split or the integrity of the timed-release coating will be destroyed. Then medication will not be able to work the way it is supposed to.

If it isn’t timed-release, the tablet can be split with no ill effects.

I ask because it is far more economical to buy the higher dose tablet of Program and use a pill splitter to cut off an accurate amount.

Overdosing a dog with any of these medications can be dangerous. I had a dog have seizures on Program…wound up being a sensitivity to the drug.

Yes it is time released so you maybe compromising the medication by cutting it in half…same with Interceptor for heartworm.
