 Best Flea Prevention On the Market July 30, 2005

I have used this product on my active pointer since he was just a young pup and he has yet to ever have a flea or tick. I have found ticks on him, but they were dead. This product is wonderful. You have to remember though, its very important to not bathe your dog within 48 hours of applying the Advantix because it works with the natural skin oils and they must not get wet for around 24 hours or so afterwards to achieve maximum effect.
This product is great! He gets into trees, ponds, bushes, fields, etc. and never brings home fleas or ticks. Which is nice because the cat wouldn't appreciate that. It is worth the hefty price you shell out for it. Once a flea gets into your home, they are everywhere. It is very difficult to remove fleas from your home once there is an infestation. Best to place this product on your dog to prevent it from happening to begin with.
 Adverse reaction, beware July 27, 2007

I tried Advantix (as opposed to Advantage) for the first time recently and immediately noticed that my dog was having a strong reaction to it. She stayed up all night panting heavily and periodically would run in circles. I checked the package insert and it said nothing about possible adverse reactions, and the product website also failed to warn of potential problems. However, I read on a vet's site that Advantix, unlike Advantage, is known to cause a variety of side effects, including hyper-activity, which was obviously what was going on with my dog. This site said not to use the product again in the event of a bad reaction. Not only was I unhappy with the product, but was upset that Bayer didn't bother to list possible side effects. Very irresponsible. I won't use any of their pet products again.
 Works Great! November 26, 2004

K9 Advantix works great on my dog. He is a little more active than most and likes to run around in the rain, so the medication doesn't always last a whole month for him. It lasts about two and a half to three weeks if it's raining a lot. It does kill every flea that touches him. Another thing I like about this product is the repelling ability. It kills whatever is on my dog, and keeps new bugs away. I use K9 Advantix every month, and my dog stays happy. Remember: You get what you pay for, and your dog won't be happy if you're using the cheap brands under $10. You might as well throw your money away, because fleas are immune to the lesser-brand medications now.
Also, I'm glad to see Amazon selling this MUCH cheaper than other stores. I went all over the internet looking for cheap meds for my dog. Then I thought, I'll check out Amazon, they sell everything. Shop around, you'll see.
Almost killed my dog! August 19, 2007

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. If you feel you must use it, first read the horror stories on [...] on the K9 Advantix topic. Bayer Animal Health will tell you it is perfectly safe. Don't believe them!
ADVANTIX KILLED MY DOG!! April 29, 2008

Although I have used Advantage safely for years, Bayer has added a toxic pesticide Permethrin, to it's formula to market the once flea only product for ticks also...The very same Permethrin sold over the counter as Bio-Spot your vet will tell you is unsafe....Do a google on Advantix toxic, Permethrin toxic & see the results....My Min-Pin started showing signs of neurologicalproblems the very next day...I regret applying at night before going to bed as I could not do a thing the net day...I tried washing the product off 3 times with soapy Dawn, but it was too late....He became confused, lethargic, spaced out without ability to focus...later couldn't even go out to pee...He died 3 days after application.....Bayer denied any of the symptoms exhisted before & said it must have been something else...The dog was in good health, & never left the house after application ....The neurological symptoms came within hours of application...I MISS My "Little Man"....Permethrine IS POISON for your yard...read the warnings...My dog died from this product advantix...don't believe the marketing & advertising HYPE by Bayer....it's all for money at the expense of sme pets reactions....do the research BEFORE!!
