: K9 Advantix Flea Control for Dogs 11-20 Pounds, 4 Pack

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works great !! Really like this this product.
I never had fleas and my two Jack Russell terriers have never had ticks with this product. I have used Frontline plus and have had fleas and ticks..too the cost of five hundred dollars to de-flea my house! Buying flea bombs and shampoo's which didn't work and finally hiring an exterminator and switching to K9 Advantix and we were finally able to get rid of the fleas. We have been flea and tick free for 4 years after switching to Advantix. My girlfriend is battling fleas and was using Frontline plus..what does that tell you. My dogs have had no serious health issues with this product. My dogs and I really like Advantix.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Almost killed my dog!
I used K9 Advantix because I was bringing my dog with me on vacation into a remote camp in tick-infested woods. I used three-quarters of the 20 lb. dose on my 13 lb. poodle. Approx. 12 hours after application, she began to have terrible neurological symptoms, running in circles and crying, jerking and jumping. Her nose became very hot and her breathing became rapid and shallow. We were up all night. By the time I got instructions over the telephone to wash it off with liquid dish detergent, it had been 24 hours. She survived, but the cartilage in her throat has been damaged and her bark is permanently changed. If you are using this product for the first time, PLEASE use only half the recommended dose and standby with the liquid dish detergent. If your dog can stand it, you can apply the rest two days later. The only antidote for permethrin poisoning is to wash it off with liquid dish detergent within the first 24 hours! Many dogs have been injured, and deaths have been attributed to K9 Advantix. If you feel you must use it, first read the horror stories on the internet. Bayer Animal Health should have included on the box instructions on how to wash it off with detergent if there was an adverse reaction.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Terrier mom
This works well for my dog --I have been using the product for about a year.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works
I bought this item for 2 small dogs. It started killing fleas within a few hours of putting it on them. They stopped scratching and looked so much happier. It has been almost a month and they are still flealess. I don't think it repels mosquitos. I've seen swarms gather around the dogs. I will buy this product again.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Does not repel or kill ticks
I cannot speak for everyone as everyone's dog is different...that being said from my perspective this product is not worth the money. My dog seems to be a tick magnet so I was desperate to find something that would help keep the ticks off of him. Each month I would apply the advantix a few hours after my dog had gotten his bath, the product was useless. We would go for our walks and I would keep him out of the brush, but when we came home and I would do I tick check I would find a tick attached to him. There were even occasions when he would just act like something was really bothering him and upon closer examination it was a tick. On top of it not repelling ticks it made my poor little terrier mix itch really badly. I stopped treatment after two months, disgusted with the product. Since then I have sprayed the perimeter of his yard with OrthoMax (which kills ticks that transmit Lyme Disease) and do regular checks for ticks; I have no longer had a problem with ticks. The positive thing is that I am not applying a pesticide to my dog that could potentially harm him or my cats. The best thing you can do for your pet when it comes to ticks is to keep the grass mowed short and eliminate the environment that ticks thrive in. By the way if you do have problems with ticks get a tick twister they work great when it comes to removing an attached tick!
