Apply the Correct Dosage

K9 Advantix II products are specifically formulated and tested for efficacy and safety on dogs of specific weight ranges. The full dose of the correct product needs to be administered on a monthly basis. Control measures may fail if the manufacturer’s instructions on the label aren’t adhered to closely. Don’t under-dose or over-dose pets. Under-dosing sometimes occurs when pet owners split treatments between different dogs. Under-dosing can also arise from toxicity fears.12345

Re-dosing Early

Don’t apply more than one tube per treatment, even for larger dogs. Under normal circumstances, one dose will last 4 weeks. However, in severe flea infestations, re-treatment is allowable earlier in order to establish control. In these situations, don’t retreat more often than once every 7 days. Once flea control is attained, return to a monthly re-treatment schedule.

FAQ

Fleas are a common and important external parasite of dogs and cats. The most common flea species infesting dogs and cats in North America and in many areas of the world is Ctenocephalides felis felis, the cat flea.

Cat fleas are voracious blood feeders consuming up to 15 times their body weight in blood daily and female fleas use that blood to produce up to twice their bodyweight in eggs daily. So it does not take long before a flea infestation can get completely out of hand.

These fleas can cause allergic skin disease (FAD), produce anemia through their blood feeding activities, and transmit tapeworms and bacterial pathogens. 

It is therefore important for the health and well-being of our pets that we control these harmful parasites.
