Advantix for Dogs

Advantix for Dogs

Advantix is a topical parasiticide used in the treatment and prevention external parasites in dogs. It is formulated to kill ticks including the paralysis tick, the brown dog tick and the bush tick; and also control biting insects such as fleas, lice, mosquitoes, sand flies, and repels stable flies. This easy to use spot on treatment is used monthly to control most parasites and fortnightly to control paralysis ticks. Advantix starts killing fleas and ticks within two hours of application and is water resistant so it won’t wash off. 

Advantix is safe for use on pregnant and lactating bitches and puppies over 7 weeks old. DO NOT USE ON CATS. Advantix kills fleas and ticks on contact, so they don’t have to bite your dog to be killed. Advantix also repels ticks, mosquitoes, sand flies and stable flies. This means that it helps in controlling flea allergy dermatitis and prevents any diseases caused by parasites. 

So how does it work?

Advantix contains two active ingredients Imidacloprid and Permethrin. Imidacloprid eliminates fleas by attacking their nervous system, causing paralysis and kills them before they lay their eggs. Permethrin kills the ticks by lacking sodium channels in the nervous system which kills the pests.
