Two Proven Ingredients with Enhanced Activity

Imidacloprid and permethrin work together to overwhelm the nervous system of the parasite, providing neurotoxic activity beyond that of each compound alone. This leads to more profound and quicker insect paralysis and death.

Specifically, imidacloprid increases the efficacy of permethrin by activating insect nerve cells and increasing the frequency of neurotransmissions. As a result, more sodium channels are opened and the pyrethroid can interact much better with its target site.

Imidacloprid

Imidacloprid is an ectoparasiticide, an antiparasitic agent that targets parasites living primarily on the surface of a host. Chemically classified as a chloronicotinyl nitroguanidine, imidacloprid inhibits neurotransmitter transmission in insects, resulting in paralysis and death.

Benefits

Imidacloprid exhibits both adulticide and larvicidal flea efficacy; it not only kills adult fleas and larvae on your pet, but it also kills larval stages in your pet's immediate surroundings.

Main Purpose

To kill fleas at all stages of their life cycles and stop them from being able to move or feed.

Permethrin

Permethrin is the additional ingredient in Advantix. It belongs to the Type I class of pyrethroid acaricides and insecticides, and it also acts as a repellent. Pyrethroids affect muscle and nerve cells' sodium ion channels by increasing their mean open time, which leads to hyperexcitability and death of the parasite.

Benefits

Thanks to its repelling activity, permethrin reduces parasite bites and thus the risk of diseases and stress for your dog.

Main Purpose

To repel ticks, sand flies, and mosquitoes; to kill ticks and fleas.

Pyriproxyfen

Pyriproxyfen is a pyridine-based pesticide. A juvenile hormone analog, it interferes with the hormone signaling of growing insects, so that insects in immature stages are unable to mature. Additionally, a female insect that touches the toxin will produce eggs that will not hatch.

Benefits

Pyriproxyfen provides an added layer of protection for pets and their surroundings. It interrupts the flea life cycle at multiple stages, halting the growth and development of insect eggs and larvae and preventing re-infestation.

Main Purpose

To prevent flea eggs from hatching and larvae from growing.

Useful Information

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.

Length of Effectiveness: Under normal conditions, the product is effective for one month. However, in cases of severe flea infestation, re-treatment may be necessary earlier than four weeks. Do not retreat more often than once every seven days. After flea control is attained, return to a monthly re-treatment schedule.

Individual sensitivities, while rare, may occur after using any pesticide product for pets. If signs persist, or become more severe, consult a veterinarian immediately.

    If swallowed: Call poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a class of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

    If on skin or clothing: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.

K9 Advantix II XL Dog Flea, Tick & Mosquito Treatment
March 31, 2024
So far, so good! My German Shepherd and Rhodesian Hound both continue to scratch a bit. However, we've only just put the treatment on them two weeks ago. I give five stars without experiencing the time and impact fully yet. We are very happy with shipping, packaging, timeliness, good customer service. Thank you!!

March 16, 2024
Advantix is the only product I use on my dogs. The other 2 name brand topicals are completely inferior. I only wish they made something for cats this good.
Pros
  • Works better and longer than stated.
  • Offers protection for more than just fleas
Cons
  • It's a pesticide. In a perfect world I wouldn't have to use it or anything else at all

Always Works As Described
July 23, 2022
I'd give it full marks for efficacy, in other words, a full five stars. However, the price has escalated considerably over the years, far faster than most person's paychecks have done. If the product was available at a more reasonable price it would be so much more attractive. I've used it for years on multiple generations of my dogs and always been pleased by how well this product protects.
Pros
  • Simply put: it works
Cons
  • Simpy put: exorbitant price which has escalated much faster than overall inflation

It works!
August 26, 2021
K9 Advantix works very well for keeping fleas away and killing ticks that get on my dog. That's important to me, since I live in the country and we have armies of ticks in the spring and early summer. It's easy to put on which is good, since I have a wiggly dog to use it on. It's a little pricey, but worth it to keep the pests off.
Pros
  • Works on fleas
  • Works on ticks
  • Easy to put on
Cons
  • High priced

Works on large dogs too

Works Great but Follow Directions
January 22, 2021
This works great when applied exactly as directed. Please read directions carefully and ask your vet if you have any questions so you will be sure to apply this product correctly. Note that this medication can be rendered ineffective if you give your pet a bath too close to applying this medication. I still prefer this medication over giving my pet a pill to take because she has a sensitive stomach.
Pros
  • Works if used as directed
Cons
  • Expensive

Great flea/tick/mosquito preventative for dogs

how many ml is in each application of K9advantixII for extra large dog? I have left over advantix for large dog (2.5ml) and want to use it up on a larger (extra large) dog.
1 Answer
Do not use left over doses on other dogs. This product is intended to have a full dose administer to each pet and should not be used in partial doses.
