- How is K9 Advantix II different from Frontline Plus?
- Both are monthly topicals that kill fleas and ticks. K9 Advantix II adds mosquitoes, biting flies and lice, while Frontline Plus adds lice but not mosquitoes. K9 Advantix II is also toxic to cats; Frontline Plus is not.
- Can I use it on a dog that lives with cats?
- Only with strict separation. The product is highly toxic to cats, so keep cats away from the treated dog until the application site is completely dry, which usually takes a day or two.
- How long does it take to work?
- Fleas start dying within hours, but the product needs about 24 to 48 hours to spread over the skin and reach full protection. Bathing or swimming right after application reduces effectiveness.
- Does it prevent heartworm?
- No. It kills and repels mosquitoes, which can carry heartworm, but it is not a heartworm preventive. Dogs still need a separate heartworm medication prescribed by a vet.
- Which tube size does my dog need?
- Dosing is by weight, in four bands from very small dogs up to large dogs over 55 pounds. Use the band that matches your dog's current weight and do not split a large-dog tube among small dogs.
- Is it safe for puppies?
- It is labeled for puppies from 7 weeks of age and for pregnant or nursing dogs. Check with a vet first for very young, ill or medicated dogs.
