On approximately 01 May 2021 the dog, of an unknown signalment, exhibited fleas. On 11 May 2021 and 13 Jun 2021 the dog received 1 tube of Advantage II Medium dog for flea control. No Advantage II was applied in Jul 2021 (animal owner's email started Jun; however, captured as Jul due to email contradiction). On 14 Aug 2021, fleas were noted again, and Advantage II Medium dog was restarted (1 tube applied to dog topically). At this time the animal owner indicated a decrease in product efficacy due to the number of flea being seen. On 16 Sep 2021, the two dogs were bathed in dish soap and vinegar. On 17 Sep 2021, lots of fleas were noted, and Advantage II Medium Dog was applied to the dog (tube each, topically). The yard was sprayed. On 24 Sep 2021, the dog died. No additional information was provided regarding the dog's death.
