How Advantix works
Advantix repels ticks. The great advantage of this is that it can repel a tick before it bites your dog. Any ticks attached prior to the application of Advantix will be killed by the product but will remain attached.
Advantix continues to be effective after a treated dog is exposed to water. This allows the dog to continue to participate in swimming and being bathed.
How can you properly administer Advantix?
Advantix for Dogs is applied as a spot-on treatment at skin level. For dogs less than 25kg, the entire contents of the tube are applied between the shoulder blades. For dogs over 25kg, the appropriate dose is divided and applied between the shoulder blades, between the hips, and at one point in between.
Advantix for dogs is available in 4 different sizes:
- Dogs less than 4kg - green pack
- Dogs 4-10kg - turquoise (aqua) pack
- Dogs 10-25kg - red pack
- Dogs over 25kg - blue pack
Dogs over 50kg require dosage with 2 pipettes from the blue pack.
Owners of growing dogs need to be aware of any changes in their dog's weight to ensure that the appropriate dose is given to protect their dog as it grows.
Dogs generally accept the administration of spot-on treatments fairly well. However, if your dog doesn't cooperate, using distraction techniques may be of benefit. Having another person pat the dog or offer a small treat at the time of application is often beneficial for such animals. If your dog likes to roll in the dirt or grass immediately after application, take the dog for a walk immediately after application to ensure it is not rubbed off. After every application of Advantix, owners should consider placing a marker on the calendar for the next due date to ensure continuity of protection and avoid forgetting a dose.
What are the precautions in using Advantix?
Advantix must not be used on cats or animals other than dogs. Do not allow cats to actively groom or have close physical contact with a recently treated dog. Ensure that Advantix does not contact the mouth or eyes of the treated dog. Advantix must not be used in puppies less than 7 weeks of age.

k9 Advantix
Advantix works well in my dogs. I used to have problems with summer fleas but not anymore since I tried Advantix. Effectively removes ticks and fleas and prevents your dog from having them again. It's really a great med.
Advantix for dogs
It's a great med! My dog used to have seizures after med application but not with this one. It is safe and very effective. You'll never go wrong with Advantix.
Dog meds
Summer fleas are totally gone! Finally. Thanks to Advantix. As soon as the package arrives, I applied it to my dog and I saw great results after few weeks. Now they're totally off. No more fleas.
Great Flea/Tick Product!
I used to use Frontline but in NJ the fleas were very stubborn this year. I purchased Advantix hoping to alleviate our problem and was very pleased that I did so! Fleas are gone! Have not seen any ticks and we had so many this summer we could not keep up with them. I love Pet Shed's prices and product choices. I own a Professional Pet Sitting business and always recommend them to my clients. Great site!
