K9 Advantix II Flea, Tick & Mosquito Treatment for Dogs

K9 Advantix II Flea, Tick & Mosquito Treatment for Dogs

K9 Advantix II is a once-monthly topical parasite treatment for dogs and puppies eight weeks of age and older. It kills fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and lice, while reducing biting from mosquitoes and stable flies.

Main Uses

• Controls fleas, ticks and lice for at least four weeks.
• Kills adult fleas, flea eggs and flea larvae to help interrupt multiple stages of the flea life cycle.
• Kills adult ticks and helps reduce tick attachment and biting.
• Kills mosquitoes and reduces biting from mosquitoes and stable flies.
• Works through contact, so fleas and ticks do not need to take a blood meal before being affected.
• Rapid flea control may help reduce signs associated with flea allergy dermatitis.
• Suitable for ongoing monthly parasite control when exposure remains a concern.

Active Ingredients

• Imidacloprid 8.8%: Kills adult fleas through contact with the treated skin and coat.
• Permethrin 44%: Kills ticks, mosquitoes and lice while helping reduce biting from ticks, mosquitoes and stable flies.
• Pyriproxyfen 0.44%: An insect growth regulator that prevents flea eggs and larvae from developing normally, helping interrupt the flea life cycle.

Available Sizes

Select the product according to the dog’s current weight. Do not divide applicators between animals or combine multiple smaller applicators to create a larger dose.

Directions for Use

• For dogs and puppies eight weeks of age and older.
• Apply one correctly sized applicator topically once every four weeks when continual protection is required.
• The dog should be dry and standing during application.
• Part the coat until the skin is visible and apply the entire contents directly to intact skin.
• Depending on the product size, the contents may need to be divided among multiple application points along the top of the back. Follow the application diagram supplied with the selected package.
• Do not apply an excessive amount at one location or allow the solution to run down the dog’s sides.
• Do not rub the solution into the skin.
• Prevent treated animals from grooming one another until the application sites are completely dry.
• Keep the treated dog off furniture until the solution has dried.

Do not shampoo, bathe or allow the dog to swim immediately after treatment. Wait at least three days before shampooing, swimming or significant water exposure. Frequent bathing or swimming may shorten the duration of protection.
