Amazon.com Product Description

Biting fleas are more than just a nuisance for your dog. Left unchecked, they can cause serious disorders such as flea allergy dermatitis, secondary skin infections, tapeworms, and even anemia. This topical flea treatment lets you stop fleas before they become a problem. Used just once a month, it stops fleas from biting in less than five minutes, killing 98 to 100 percent of the fleas on dogs within 12 hours, and keeps working for a month. The dead fleas can't lay eggs, and the dead larvae can't hatch, breaking the flea's life cycle and halting the infestation in its tracks. A powerful solution, it also repels and kills ticks before they can attach and mosquitoes before they can bite. Applied before the start of flea season, it helps keep your dog from becoming infested in the first place. Used year-round, it prevents fleas from over-wintering in your home to feast on your dog next season. Gentle enough for puppies as young as seven weeks and older, the flea control remains effective even after bathing, water immersion, or exposure to sunlight, without the need for re-application. This package includes six pre-measured doses for dogs weighing 21 to 55 pounds in easy-to-use applicator tubes. For safety, keep out of the reach of children, and read all warnings and instructions carefully.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great!, November 25, 2004

By	Billy M (Charleston, SC, United States) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Adverse reaction, beware, July 27, 2007

By	Acme Edit (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond wonderful for fleas, and NIH says the same for ticks!, August 12, 2006

By	Caraleisa (West Chester, PA) - See all my reviews

Our two dogs became infested with fleas a couple years ago. We tried a ton of different medications, and were about to 'bomb' the house when our vet recommended K9 Advantix. Within one week there were NO fleas, not on the dogs, not in the house. Before using K9 Advantix, I'd sit at night picking fleas off our one poodle, and we were desperate for a solution. This is a fabulous product. As we didn't have experience with ticks or mosquitos when using this product, I can't comment on them, but for fleas, this is the best. I was told by a salesperson at Petsmart that Advantix has a repellant in it besides something to kill the fleas, and Frontline, its main competitor, has only a flea killer, which won't work until the flea bites the dog.

In addition, I found a review by the NIH regarding the two medications for ticks and I quote an excerpt from the abstract: "The number of live ticks on the control dogs ranged from a geo. mean of 12.0 to 29.5 ticks per dog during the study. Percent efficacy for the K9 Advantix group ranged from 84.0 to 98.5 % between test days 3 and 35. Percent efficacy for the Frontline Plus group ranged from -28.1 to 56.8% during the corresponding period."

You can find this study report yourself by googling as shown with the quotes: "K9 Advantix vs Frontline".

Sounds pretty definitive to me. We're sticking with Advantix.
