Beyond wonderful for fleas, and NIH says the same for ticks! August 13, 2006

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.

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.
worked wonders for my 200 lb. mastiff November 5, 2006

I bought this item for my english mastiff when we had a flea nest in our yard this summer. The fleas were not only on him but also in his bedding and in my house because of him. Within a few days of using our first treatment, his fleas were gone and even with him going outside daily, we did not have any additional problems for the rest of the summer when I used this as directed.
It was well worth any price and the product delivered as promised.

Actually, what I find interesting is that the negative, 1 star, ratings. Seven (7) of them are by the same person (Rick), Three (3) of them are by (D.Defenbaugh). Doesn't Amazon employ individuals with a little common sense. Can they not read? The negative responses are all the same. HEllO!!! I have been using this product for two (2) years and both of my dogs do not have any fleas or ticks. So I gave this product five (5) stars.
Advantix--best choice for fleas/ticks August 8, 2006

I have 3 dogs and have been using Advantix for about 3 years. I used to use Revolution, but at the time lived in a woody area of South Carolina, where ticks plentiful and are a year-round problem. My dogs would have 5-10 ticks on them everyday. I switched to Advantix, and then would rarely find a tick. Never any fleas, and since it repels mosquitos too, the dogs & I are much happier...no scratching from bites. I now live in FLA, and wouldn't use anything else. If you are switching from Revolution you will have to add Heartworm treatment, which is now available in a generic monthly chew, at a very reasonable price. The price here on Amazon is very competitive with other online pet supply sellers.
