I used K9 Advantix because I was bringing my dog with me on vacation into 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 around 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. [...].

Just because their emergency number isnt helpful, doesnt mean the product isnt good. In an emergency like that, you call your Vet or their emergency helpline asap, not a 1-800 number off the back of your product.
Ive been using Advantix after Frontline failed to keep fleas off my pup an its been working great every since, killed all the existing fleas once applied and havent seen a single flea since and i apply it every 30 days. The only problem I have with it is that it gets my Yorkie's coat all oily and spreads out on his back. I have to bathe him the next day to get his coat nice again but otherwise, it works great. I believe all flea meds are oily, so i highly recommend Advantix over any other brand, ESPECIALLY Frontline, thats a horrible product vets should be ashamed about giving out to patients only because they provide free samples. But Advantage works!

We've been using Advantix for a long time and it works great BUT recently we had an emergency with our small dog.
I came home to find her eyes swollen shut. We'd done nothing out of the ordinary except apply her latest dose of Advantix the night before. We thought perhaps she had rubbed some on her bed and then gotten it in her eyes. While my wife ran the dog to the vet, I called the emergency help number for Advantix to see what they recommend should this be the case. After describing the situation to the Advantix representative, he told me in a most condesending tone that it sounded like "an interesting theory". After repeating that I was just interested in finding out what we should just in case, he again refused to give me any sort of advice and instead implied I was lying. He sarcastically informed me that "it's not like there's an antidote". Eventually I just hung up.
I'm not sure why there is an emergency help number listed if Advantix is not planning on giving any help, but for all the other pet owners out there--don't bother calling and don't bother buying!
