Advantix Spot On for Dogs

Advantix for Dogs is also known as K9 Advantix, a popular parasitic treatment for ticks, fleas, and lice. These parasites can cause dermatitis, and allergic reactions lead to secondary bacterial infections.

Pet owners often favorite a topical treatment because Advantix does not absorb into your dog's bloodstream. Instead, Advantix works when a parasite comes in contact with your dog's skin.

Advantix kills existing and new adult fleas as they appear and helps break the breeding cycle. Advantix also repels and kills ticks, including the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus), the paralysis tick, and the deer tick (Ixodes ricinus). 

Advantix kills and repels mosquitos, lice, stable flies, and sandflies, as Advantix protects from the irritation of biting insects.
