Ultra Flea And Tick Prevention For Dogs - Dog and Puppy Treatment and Control - Mosquito Repellent - Large, Fast Acting Waterproof Topical Drops, 4 Month Supply

This is identical to K9 Advantix II. This product works great for my dog, but then again my dog's skin doesn't have severe reactions to permethrin. Permethrin is extremely deadly when used incorrectly. For instance undiluted permethrin spray used on goats with direct skin contact will send a goat into nervous system failure within 2-4 minutes. They loose control over their bladder. Their back legs shutdown. The goat will continuously stretch out long and it's legs get wobbly and their steps get very uncoordinated. If the permethrin isn't removed from the goat's body with soap that has sulfates in it, in order to break down the molecule structure compounds of the permethrin, then the goat will go into seizures and die. If permethrin can do all of that to a goat, just imagine what it can do to your dog. If permethrin is used properly and dosed correctly it has proven to be very safe and effective, compared to many pesticides used on livestock and pets.Please, when testing any pesticide product on your pet, only test a small penny size area to start. Just like you don't slather your face in a new unknown facial cleanser or cream due to possible skin reactions, you don't go pouring pesticide products on your dog's skin if they have never been introduced to the product prior before. Common sense goes a long way.Personally, this product works wonders for my English Mastiff. This isn't a fix all product though. If your dog already has fleas or ticks they need removed with a few baths soaked in Dawn dish liquid original. This product will NOT remove or kill off a current infestation. I know what the product claims, but as a goat farmer who has actually worked with undiluted permethrin; which is the active ingredient in this product, there isn't nearly enough permethrin in this product to kill off a full blown tick of flea infestation. This product is a good deterrent and keeps pests from wanting to bite and start a infestation.If you apply this to your dog and get a odd reaction within the first 5 minutes, then you should react VERY quickly. Use a soap with sulfates in it, such as Dawn Dish liquid original. Use cold water also to stop the skin pours from opening up and enlarging, which would allow more of the pesticide residue into the blood stream. Scrub and wash the affected skin area, vigorously. Do not toss water on or dunk the affected area. By not scrubbing the pesticide residue away from the skin and minimizing the effect of it soaking in deeper past the dermal layer, you're only wasting precious time. Scrub, scrub, scrub.I've used permethrin for a long time as a goat farmer. Around and in my barns. In our milking area and on our milking stands. In chicken coops and duck houses. In our buck barn and around common areas in the pasture. Also use it in our basement to keep out hundreds of pests. This product is a good product, but never let your guard down. Always be looking for ticks, fleas, mites, lice, etc. Do your best to minimize exposure, period. This product is for 2nd line of defense. This product is NOT a cure all fix all, 1st line of defense kinda product. But then again neither are the real expensive Rx script chewable tablets either. Been there, done that.

For our older dog, our primary focus for her is MOSIQUITOES repellent. Works great! She was able to sunbathe in her yard without being bothered, not one ear flick! A second concern is tick prevention. But since we live in town with short grass, they arent out in large numbers until you get out of city limits. But not one single blood sucker. This product works great for her. She doesnt have any history skin irritation from products in the past, nor did this cause a problem. Cant speak on the tick part, didnt need product to kill or repel (solo pet household and shes doesnt care to be as social as much with other dogs in her golden years)

This product works pretty well and is easy to apply. Must treat the house and yard for best results

Didn't work

I used this once before for my little dog and it seemed to work ,so I bought it again but this time it didn't work she s been scratching like crazy and I was t old by 2 different vets that these topical flea meds are not working because the fleas are becoming immune to it but I don't understan̈d why I mean I don't know much about fleas ,but that is the only reason my dog would be scratching and the reason I bought the advecta is because it is only 25$ and the vets says even the name brand stuff like this stuff is almost twice that price but if it doesn't work I feel like I should get my money back ,im so tired of paying for things that do not do what they say there going to do ! Why should they get a way with selling products that don't work ,to me that is stealing and they shouldn't get away with this i do not recommend this product because it doesn't work and now I have purchase somthing else because fleas cause problems!

It worked for about 3 or 4 days, then the fleas were back. It's not just this product, though. I have tried Seresto collars, which have worked well in the past, Amazon brand and another over the counter monthly drops, Adams flea spray, Adams flea collars, Furr life flea collars, Triazinon yard spray, Vets Best flea spray, Pestie (love them. They sent me some different kind of spray to try. Have to wait for a couple of dry days before I can), and last night I tried Bug MD. So far, so good with that, but it hasn't even been a whole day. Crossing my fingers. I do not have the money to take my 5 dogs to the vet for flea treatment and they hate going so much. The fleas are on steroids this year.

I have tried so many products that say they work but they don't, until Advecta!! Advecta has been my life saver on fleas and mosquitoes for both of my dogs for over two years! It's completely safe, is exactly as described, and keeps the fleas off for at least 60-75 days. I treat my yard, then the dogs and we have had flea free yard for two years since my first use. My dogs have no sensitivity to the medicine in this. They don't have any side effects whatsoever. I rely heavily especially during the summer months in Texas on Advecta. The best part is I don't have to use a vet, no prescription needed and better results than what I had been trying before. We are happy and satisfied with this product. I hope they never stop selling this!!Husky and chiweenie dog approved!! Really works!!

Worked as advertised, I will say my husband also treats our yards for ticks and fleas twice a year . In the spring and fall. It's a good buy and my dogs had visible side effects. We are about half way point between applications and it's still effective.
