Remains oily with lots of residue for days
I have given the amp a good shake before applying and each time I have applied this product it remains oily and tends to run a fair way which I understand is the carier but the residue like dandruff is awful.This continues for more than 2 days.

Poison
My happy and healthy 20 lbs 8 y.o. Havanese have never had issues with any preventative meds until I put this poison on him. Three day later, he is still having seizures, respiratory issues, fever, and depression. In the past three days, we spent one night in the emergency room and today at his regular vet. Stay away from Bayer, Merck, and other merchants of death, and buy a good tick collar or chewable alternative instead. And if they ever tell you it is harmless to apply carcinogenic neurotoxins, ask them to demonstrate that point by applying them on their children first.

Product kept fleas away in past. Previously dog was not as energetic after applications but survived.
Be cautious useing this product. Last application (around 7pm) caused healthy happy and loving 4 year old cocker spaniel to be admitted to vet hospital. A few hours after application dog became slightly uncomfortable. By next day dogs entire body was tense like he was flexing all of his muscles at the same time. Breathing sounded raspy. He had a difficult time panting as he would stop and start panting continuously like he wanted to pant but something was stopping him. Stayed in same spot for 2 days. Would eat and drink if food and water w...Read more
as brought to him. Only went outside to pee when carried. Became paralyzed in hind legs and refused water and food at the end of day 2 (48 hours after application). Day 3 dogs facial expressions, seem like he is ready to go for walks and play fetch but his body is still tense and he can no longer walk. Taken to vet and left there on day 3. The evening of day 2 dog became paralyzed in hind legs. Didnt pee or po for over 24 hours. Could no longer be carried outside due to pain (dog would bite you) On days one and two dog was able to walk but he walked wobbly with legs not in correct position sort of sticking out. Very strange. Dog is at vet now and prognosis is bad if he cannot regain movement of hind legs he will have to be put down. I am in shock as I am not ready to put my dog down he is only 4.Purchased in March 2021 for $69.00.

Great product and works perfect for my Bulldog
Great product and works perfect for my Bulldog.
I don't understand why this product has bad reviews.
My Bulldog got attacked by flies on his ears and nothing worked but this product!
I used sprays and creams on his ears and this is the only product that keeps the flies away!

Kills fleas, ticks, and dogs
I never leave reviews, but I hope to save someone the heartache of missing their best friend. My dog is well within the weight limit (6 month cane corso) and has never had health issues. Very healthy puppy. After applying this she could not eat, drink, barely breathe, or move. I had to carry her just to pee. Defecated herself because she's unable to move. I called the 1800 and was told to bathe her and take her to a vet. Thanks no thanks! Please find something else to give to your dog

Shih T'zu having a horrible reaction.
I bought Advantix on Friday and administered it on my 11 year old Shih T'zu. Throughout the evening and night he was digging at his backside and very itchy, rolling over trying to scratch uncontrollably. He is also twitching and jumps up from his sleep and can't seem to settle. This has been day 3 and the same thing this morning, very itchy, biting at his backside and very jerky. I called the vet and was told to watch him. I would never use this product again and I hope this settles down very soon. We have used other products with no problems.

Shih T'zus BEWARE.
Put this crap on my poor wee Shih T'zu. Took him for a walk less than an hour later. After 5 minutes he sat down which he Never does on a walk. Coaxed him back up for 100 ft + he did the same thing. 3rd time he lay right down + wouldn't get up. I had to carry him home. He was very lethargic. I bathed + scrubbed him well + rinsed with lots of water. Now he is suffering tremors. Most reports I have read that state these symptoms all mention Shih T'zus. Willy's symptoms are: lethargy, weakness in back legs, full body tremors. Hopefully he will eat + drink tomoro.

Disappointing: worked for less than 2 weeks.
I applied as directed and did not bathe my crossbreed dog (to avoid reducing its effectiveness) but after 13 days she had a lot of fleas. Will not be buying again.

My Dog Had a Toxic Reaction
We purchased the product on a recommendation from the people at our Local Petco Store. The product is very expensive and made our dog sick. After a $90 Vet visit he told us this product should not be sold. In essence it created a Toxic reaction in our dog. We now have to wait and see if the condition worsens or may get better. The Vet said we will not know for another 48 hours. Heartbreaking to see how our dog is reacting to this poison. I would not recommend this to anyone.... I cant even find a way to reach someone at the company. All you get is an outside Vet line. I do't want a Vet line. I want to speak to the manufacturer. So I am out of pocket $140.00 for Product and visit to the Vet and have nothing but a sick dog.

Only repeled insects to face and into ear!
I bought the 2-pack and I put this on my dog who was scratching and itching and had hair missing from pea-sized spots along his rib cage. Within about 12 hours, he stopped scratching around his rib cage, where he had been infected. But after about 15 hours, he suddenly started scratching his face. He was scratching his face for about 2 days. Then he developed an infected bubble, about pea-sized, on his face! And every day over the next week, his scratching of his face increased, and he developed another pea-sized spot where his hair was mi...Read more
ssing, in addition to the infected pea-sized spot about an inch or so away, which was now healing. Over the following 2 weeks, the itching increased to what it was before the application. I returned the batch to the Petco where I had bought it. I asked if it was expired. They tried to research the Lot No. on the box, but could find no decoder for the Lot Np., and they found a claim that K9 Advantix II does not expire. I was skeptical, since so many people gave positive reviews. I could not help but wonder if I got a bad batch or if the effectiveness had expired...maybe the Lot No. could show the date that medicine was manufactured. But I could find no help. So Petco let me exchange the remaining medicine for one that seemed to have a Lot No. with letters further down the alphabet (which I hoped was an indicator that it was more recently manufacture). The new box Lot No. was KP0D26F KP0C5DU.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Beloved princess
I have been using Advantix for over the past 4 years with much success. It worked well for the past 4 year's. It wasn't until this year where my beloved pet princess contracted Lyme disease it was uncurable I had to put her down. My heart is broken I applied this medication Faithfully every month. Did not work for fleas or ticks buyer beware

Very happy with the results, most effective flea killer I've seen!
I have a healthy bull arab dog of 3 years whom was flea riddled, nothing I did was helping. Decided to try this and it worked wonders, I'm certain it was 100% effective in about 6 hours and I've monitored her for the two days following use, there appears to be no side effects and her fur is still just as soft as ever.
Very easy to use, and I have recommended to both friends and family.

Useless Flea Med! Useless Customer Service!
Changed to this 4 months ago because of the "Repel" feature. Gave last treatment on 7-31, had VERY ACTIVE fleas on him on the week of 8-10!! My dog was chewing himself up. Thought it was an allergic reaction to the grass at first, didn't think it was fleas the first few days since it had only been 1 1/2 weeks since his 4th application.
Called customer service. Blamed it on everything but the product. (of course)
Very disappointed ~~ $125.00 down the drain!
Back to using Frontline Plus.

Useless for fleas
This product is easy to apply on my sprocker. The vet prescribed this instead of the previous product as she kept getting ticks on her. Fair enough, she hasn't had any more ticks, but she is still crawling with fleas even after a second month of application. I have bought a flea spray for the home, including her bedding and thoroughly vacuum the area. We also bought a flea comb. We have never had such a problem with our previous dogs and once worst of the tick season is over I shall not be buying this product again. I would have rated this product as terrible but for the fact that it does seem to have dealt with the ticks.

What happens when a dog takes advantix and is currently on medication?

Is it safe to use out of date advantix.
4 answers
Should be fine as long as its not too out of date (less than 12 mos out of date). The expiry usually has a bit of lee way
And it will be safe to use - the worry is wether it will still be effective. If the box was stored in a cool place thats even better but if in direct sunlight not as good and you may not want to push the expiry to much
Stephen This product isnt very safe to use while it is in date, I certainly would NOT use it out of date.

better. He was ready to go! However, the dog couldn't move anymore and was laying in pee all day as the vet for some reason didn't give me a catheter bag. On day 5 he was put to sleep as the vet said that once you lose the ability to move your hind quarters you barely get the ability back and if you do it takes a long long time. Of course, I'm unemployed for the first time in 9 years due to my place of employment shutting down. I have two human kids at home. I need to spend a lot of time looking for work and then attending work. Am not in a position where its possible for me to stay with my dog all the time or believe me I would! This dog was my best friend, companion, the one I'm with all the time. Kids are with their friends at night and I'm with my dog. I talk to him all the time, he actually talked back he was very verbal, and he slept with me. Now he's dead. At 4. Not even close to what should have been the end. Not even 4 and a half. He was 4 and three months. Absolutely no health problems yet at all. I didn't have the funds or time to sit with him while he healed if he would have even healed from paralysis. He was so so so so so so so sad and frustrated. He wanted to move. He was ready to move. His eyes looked like he was all better. Before I applied this medicine he was the healthiest and happiest dog in the entire world. Please give your dogs a different flea med with less ingredients. I read another story I can't remember where at this moment, but there was another dog who became paralyzed after applying advantix ii and the vet said it was a spinal stroke. Occurred I believe the day of or day after applying this medication. Person commented it was too much of a coincidence for him to believe that as his dog was healthy too. There's been a ton of other reactions as well but I could only find one so far that lead to paralysis though. I'm sure there have been others. It can happen to your dog please don't chance it! I know this medication caused the death of my dog and I feel absolutely sick for putting it on him. The only way I can feel a little better is to warn others. I put the correct dose on my dog and applied it correctly. He was not around any other dogs at all so was not around any other treated dogs. Could not have licked it at all. He was my one and only. And now he's DEAD.
