4fleas Tablets for Small Dogs and Puppies
How it Works
Johnson’s 4Fleas Tablets use nitenpyram, a fast-acting oral treatment for fleas. After dosing, it’s absorbed into the bloodstream; any flea that bites ingests the active and its nervous system is rapidly over-stimulated, leading to paralysis and death.
Fleas start to die within 15 minutes, with more than 90% gone in six hours and complete eradication by 24 hours. Because the drug clears quickly, there’s no residue on coat or in the home, and it can be used alongside spot-ons or IGR sprays as part of a full flea-control programme.
Suitable for small dogs and puppies over 4 weeks of age, between 1kg and 11kg.
How to Use
Give one tablet to any dog or puppy over 4 weeks and 1 kg when fleas are seen. Offer directly by mouth or hide in a small amount of food - ensure the full dose is taken. Do not exceed one tablet per day. Repeat on any subsequent day fleas are present. Combine with environmental control (vacuuming, household spray) and regular preventatives to stop re-infestation.

Johnson’s 4Fleas Tablets for Small Dogs and Puppies provide the quickest route to relief when fleas strike. Each small, easy-to-dose tablet contains nitenpyram, a veterinary-active molecule renowned for its speed: once swallowed, it is absorbed rapidly, and any flea that bites your dog ingests a lethal dose. Within minutes, fleas become hyperactive, stop feeding and begin to die; by six hours you’ll see the vast majority gone, and within 24 hours the infestation on your pet is effectively cleared.
Unlike many topical preparations, 4Fleas Tablets leave no sticky residue, odour, or staining. There’s nothing to rub off on furniture, children, or other pets, making it a particularly convenient option for households where tactile contact with pets is constant. Because the active clears from the body within a day, you’re providing a sharp, targeted strike against existing fleas without committing your dog to a long-acting systemic treatment. That also means you can use the tablets alongside other products without concern, such as monthly spot-ons, collars, environmental sprays or foggers which may all be layered in to provide lasting protection and to break the flea life cycle in the home.
Dosing is intentionally simple: one tablet treats any dog or puppy between 1 kg and 11 kg. Puppies must be at least four weeks old, but beyond that there are no contraindications: the product can be used in pregnant or lactating queens and in breeding dogs. Administration is flexible: pop it straight into the mouth, or hide it in a morsel of food. If you still see live fleas the next day, you may repeat the dose.
Fast kill is only half the battle. Around 95% of a flea population exists off the animal as eggs, larvae and pupae in carpets, bedding and upholstery. For true control, pair 4Fleas Tablets with regular vacuuming and an environmental product containing an IGR to stop immature stages developing. Wash or change pet bedding frequently, and treat all pets in the household, as untreated animals act as reservoirs that can re-seed the problem.
Johnson’s 4Fleas Tablets are the ideal “first strike” in a comprehensive flea strategy: immediate relief for the dog, zero mess for you, and total flexibility to integrate with your year-round prevention plan. Keep a pack on hand so you can act the moment fleas appear, then follow up with ongoing measures to keep them from returning.
