I have used Advantix K9 for 5 Years or so. I usually buy it online from 1-800-Petmeds. It has always worked really good, and sometimes I can go over the month. Since I have 2 dogs it is expensive to use every month.

So I bought it off ebay a few times, and once it didn’t seem to work. I also bought it from Petsmart, and one week later there was a flea on my dog, and I had to put it on again. And than 2 weeks later I had to use another one.

It is very important it work for my Maltese, as she is allergic to flea bites.

So the question is, why do some work, and some not work. Anybody experience this also?
I went on viewpoints and reads some reviews, and they didn’t sound too good. I can’t take the chance of it not working!
I used to use Frontline, but that was allowing the flea to bite my dog before it was killed. So I was having alot of trouble with her scratching, and changed to Advantix, which worked wonderful untill I started to buy it other places, which by the way is the question!
We have to protect them against ticks too, as we go up to the mountains alot.
I am wondering if I should use the cheaper and safer advantage in the winter, and the Advantix in the summer when we are camping?
Just checked and Advantage is only 6 or 7 dollars cheaper.

Has anyone tried this product. Does it work. Even temporarily? I want to use this just until my cat gets Advantage or Frontline. By the way which one of those is better. (A question inside of a question..lol.)

i have 3 cats. 2 are 2 years old, and the other is an elder cat. i’ve been using frontline plus on them but i still saw fleas crawling on them. then someone told me that frontline only kills the fleas when they bite the cat. does advantage kills AND prevents the fleas from coming on my cats? advantage is mostly only for fleas but frontline kills ticks, fleas, etc. my cats go outside so i don’t know if they need tick protection. i don’t live near the woods. i live in NY in a suburban area. what should i do? for anyone who tried frontline and advantage, which one is better? and what are the side affects if any?
i’m just afraid because i saw reviews about advantage for cats and it gives them bad side effects. maybe i’ll only get the 4 pack and if it works then i’ll get the 12 month pack.

I don’t have a tick problem just fleas. How well has advantage worked for you? I have used Frontline for years and seems to be not effective anymore on the cats or dogs.

Just another note: dogs have got skin growths warts. I’m not sure but I have used Frontline for years. I’m wondering if they got the warts from the Frontline as well.

I have been a loyal Frontline Plus user, but found it has not been working lately. anyone else having a problem with it???
Is Advantage better for cats and dogs?
