Adantix For Dogs - Comprehensive Protection
Advantix is a triple protection product designed not only to repel and kill ticks and
fleas but also to kill and repel mosquitoes before they can bite. Effective
ingredients in advantix include imidacloprid and permethrin which work synergistically
together against parasites. In other words, the action of imidacloprid complements the
activity of permethrin. Applied topically once a month, advantix
is designed to be
gentle enough for puppies 7 weeks of age or older and dogs of any size. It is also designed
to work for up to four weeks and to maintain it's
effectiveness after swimming and bathing.
However, advantix has compounds that could be adverse to the feline
physiology and metabolism, therefore, k9 advantix is for dogs only and it should
never be used on cats.

Choosing Between Original K9 Advantix & New Advantix II
Both advantix products are manufactured by Bayer and both contain the
ingredients imidacloprid and permethrin to help repel and kill fleas,
ticks and mosquitoes in the adult stages, and both come in
blue, red, green, and teal. Advantix ii
has an additional ingredient however - pyriproxyfen. The ingredient pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator that will
help prevent eggs and immature fleas from developing into adults, so not only will it help control adult fleas but
it will help prevent further infestation from developing ones as well - something not all products can do.
Since Advantix 2 has an extra ingredient it may cost more than the regular variety but the
extra protection it provides may make it worth the extra cost to many pet owners, particularly those with
a bad flea problem inside their home.

Advantage Flea Products Compared To K9 Advantix Meds
Advantage flea products and K9 Advantix flea and tick control all contain the ingredient imidacloprid to repel fleas,
all are applied topically monthly and all are water resistant. However, k9 advantix contains an additional ingredient,
permethrin, that advantage products do not have. Permethrin works in combination
with the imidacloprid to control fleas, ticks and mosquitoes, something that advantage products alone
cannot do. A very important reminder, K9 Advantix is designed for
dogs only because it has ingredients that should never be used on felines,
as a matter of fact, it should not even be used on dogs if there is a possible chance that a cat may lick or groom that canine.
However, advantage products are available for both dogs and cats in a traditional variety known simply as
Advantage - mainly for fleas, and in a new multi variety, known as
Advantage Multi which helps control both fleas and heartworms.

Frontline vs Advantix - Differences And Similarities
Frontline and Advantix utilize different ingredients but both offer versions that work against adult flea and ticks only and then slightly
more expensive options that also help fight fleas and ticks at egg, pupae and larvae stages too. Advantix is designed to help repel mosquitoes whereas Frontline is not.
On a personal note we've tried both Frontline and Advantix on our own dogs. We liked K9 Advantix for our outdoor dogs because we
liked the added protection against mosquitoes and it held up well against our dogs constant efforts to take a dip in the horse trough.
However, it seemed that Advantix did not give much "cheat time" after the four weeks of usage were
up - in other words the minute those four week were gone Advantix's effectiveness rapidly declined.
So we like Frontline better for our inside dogs.

Other Bayer Pet Products
Bayer also makes two other flea control based pet products, Advantage and
Advantage Multi, these products do not provide the additional tick protection that you can get from
K9 Advantix. Advantage is mainly just for fleas whereas Advantage Multi also protects against heartworms too.
