K9 Advantix II is a top selling flea medicine for dogs and puppies over 8 weeks old. As with many popular flea medications, Advantix is applied topically to your dog's skin each month. Advantix's ingredients work to kill existing fleas on your dog and also prevent future fleas from attacking. Within minutes of being applied, Advantix begins to kill fleas and continues to work by killing 98-100% of fleas in 12 hours. Because of how Advantix works, you should not bathe your pet for at least 24 hours. This ensures the medication can work properly without being diluted.
If you have multiple dogs, it's important to treat all of them since fleas can jump from one animal to another. Advantix is harmful to cats, so you should be especially careful to ensure that cats are not near your dog during the application process.
To apply Advantix on your dog: Part the hair on the dog's back, between the shoulder blades, until the skin is visible. For dogs up to 20 lbs: apply the entire contents of the tube to this one spot. For dogs 21 lbs and over: Apply the contents of the Advantix applicator tube to the skin at 3 or 4 spots on the top of the back from the shoulder to the base of the tail.
To be safe, your pet's veterinarian should be notified before using Advantix or any other type of flea preventative on medicated animals, or animals using this product with other pesticides, and debilitated, aged, pregnant or nursing animals.
K9 Advantix II is for Dogs 8 Weeks Old and Over Only
Advantix contains the ingredient permethrin, which is often found in pesticides and can cause harmful side effects, but is also lethal for cats. Do not use K9 Advantix on pets that are younger then the recommended age on the medication's label.
For puppies younger than 8 weeks old, you should use flea combs, and a mild soap and water bath for flea removal. Always consult with your veterinarian to determine what is best for your pet.
