How to Apply
Applying
K9 Advantix II to your pet is a fast and easy process. First, remove
the K9 Advantix II applicator tube from its packaging and use scissors to peel down the
foil. Next, hold the applicator tube in an upright position and pull
the cap off the tube. Use the upturned cap to break the protective seal,
and you're ready for application.
For
easiest application, your dog should be standing upright. Evenly apply
the entire contents of the K9 Advantix II tube to two or three spots
from the back of the shoulder to the base of the tail. Part the hair at
each spot until the skin is visible, then place the tip of the tube on
the skin and gently squeeze out a portion of the solution. Be careful
not to apply an excessive amount of the solution in any one spot,
otherwise some of the solution might run off the side of your dog.
Dispose of the container and do not reuse or refill. Do not empty unused
product in any indoor or outdoor drain.
For
optimal control and prevention of parasites, use K9 Advantix II every
month. K9 Advantix II is available in four- and six-month supplies. Do
not use K9 Advantix II on cats or any animals other than dogs.
Application Instructions
Evenly
apply the entire contents of the tube to four to six spots on the top
of the back--from the shoulder to the base of the tail. Apply monthly.

Keep out of reach of children. How long does K9 Advantix last?
A single application of K9 Advantix keeps working for one month.
How often should I use K9 Advantix?
Experts recommend monthly application to keep your dog protected year-round.
My dog is strictly indoors. Should I still use K9 Advantix?

ticks and fleas can be brought into the home by people or other
pets--without owners even realizing it. Immature flea stages remain
dormant until conditions are appropriate for development. This is why it
is also important to protect indoor pets.

How young can the dog be for application?
K9 Advantix is gentle enough for puppies as young as seven weeks.
