K9 AdvantixTM is a once-a-month topical flea, tick, and mosquito treatment for dogs and puppies 7 weeks of age and older. It contains imidacloprid and permethrin. It is available in 4 dosage sizes: 10 lbs. and under, 11-20 lbs., 21-55 lbs., and dogs weighing over 55 pounds. It is available in both 4 packs and 6 packs.
Nothing else offers this kind of triple protection against biting.
A synergistic effect that enhances efficacy.
K9 AdvantixTM is a unique combination of two proven ingredients that work synergistically against ectoparasites. The mode of action of imidacloprid complements the activity of permethrin. Each affects parasite nerve cells at different sites. When combined, the neurotoxic effect against parasites is enhanced. This leads to rapid paralysis and death of the parasites.
Prevents mosquitoes from biting.
K9 AdvantixTM repels and kills mosquitoes before they can bite - protection Frontline® Plus can’t offer. As the vector of West Nile Virus, mosquitoes are a growing concern. Research demonstrates K9 AdvantixTM kills up to 98.3% of mosquitoes and reduces their feeding up to 95.2%.1 Mosquitoes that do not bite cannot annoy dogs or transmit disease.
Keeps ticks from biting.
K9 AdvantixTM offers proven protection against ticks because it repels and kills Deer ticks, American dog ticks, Lone Star ticks and Brown dog ticks before they can attach. K9 AdvantixTM repels up to 98.5% of ticks—repellency Frontline® Plus can’t offer.2 Ticks that are repelled and die without biting cannot spread disease.
Stops fleas from biting.
K9 AdvantixTM offers the superior protection against fleas you can only get from imidacloprid. It stops fleas from biting in less than 5 minutes and kills them before they lay eggs.3 K9 AdvantixTM also kills flea larvae before they develop into adult fleas, so there’s no need to kill the flea eggs.
Protects dogs young, old, small and tall.
K9 AdvantixTM is gentle enough for puppies 7 weeks of age or older and dogs of any size. Just apply topically once a month to protect dogs from the problems of biting fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.
Keeps working after swimming or bathing.
K9 AdvantixTM remains effective after swimming or bathing. After repeated swims,
it kills 97.9-100% of ticks and 92.5-100% of fleas. After bathing, it kills 97.4-100% of ticks and fleas.4 You can use it with confidence for dogs who like water.
