What is K9 Advantix II?
K9 Advantix II is a monthly preventative for dogs that offers comprehensive protection against ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, biting flies, and chewing lice. K9 Advantix 2 is a top veterinarian-recommended brand because it repels and kills all life stages of fleas (eggs, pupae, larvae, and adult fleas) and ticks (Deer ticks, American dog ticks, Brown dog ticks, and Lone Star ticks). K9 Advantix 2 kills 98-100 percent of fleas within 12 hours and continues working for one month to prevent infestations. Fleas and ticks are killed on contact with a treated dog, which means that fleas don’t have to bite and ticks don’t have to attach to die. This helps prevent transmission of flea-borne and tick-borne diseases such as tapeworms, Lyme disease, tick paralysis, ehrlichia, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Killing fleas before they bite may also help prevent skin allergies caused by flea saliva. As well, K9 Advantix 2 repels mosquitoes before they bite, which may help prevent transmission of heartworms. K9 Advantix II protects your pet before parasites have a chance to bite, not after.
K9 Advantix 2 is the new and improved version of K9 Advantix for Dogs
K9 Advantix 2 has the exact same ingredients as the Original K9 Advantix formula but now includes Pyriproxifen, an insect growth regulator. Pyriproxifen is an Insect Growth Regulator, which that interferes with the hormone signals in growing insects, stopping them from maturing and ending their life cycle so that they cannot reproduce. K9 Advantix 2 not only kills and repels just adult fleas, ticks, and mosquitos, but complete life stages including flea eggs and larvae.

How to Apply
- Use only on dogs over 4 lbs and over 7 weeks of age. Do not use on cats or on other animals.
- Your dog should be standing for easy application.
- The entire contents of K9 Advantix 2 tube should be applied evenly to the top of the back from the shoulder to the base of the tail.
- At each spot, part the hair until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the tube on the skin and gently squeeze to expel a portion of the solution on the skin.
- Do not apply an excessive amount of solution at any one spot that could cause some of the solution to run off the side of your dog.
- For dogs up to 20 lbs, apply the entire contents of the applicator tube to 2 or 3 spots on the top of the back from the shoulder to the base of the tail.
- For dogs 21 lbs and over, apply the entire contents of the applicator tube to 4 or 6 spots on the top of the back from the shoulder to the base of the tail.
- Use only one applicator per treatment.
What are the side effects:
Individual sensitivities, while rare, may occur after using any pesticide product for pets. A small percentage of dogs have had adverse reactions to K9 Advantix 2. A sensation of burning, tingling, itching, redness or numbness of the skin may occur after topical application. This sensation usually begins 1-2 hours after application. In addition, reactions have occurred in cats that have been exposed to a medicated dog. That is why it is important to separate your cat from a medicated dog for 24 hours. Bayer, the manufacturer of K9 Advantix 2, indicates that some of these symptoms will dissipate within 48 hours; however, if your pet is experiencing adverse reactions, please complete the following steps:
- Stop applying the medication
- Wash your dog with a detergent based soap (Dawn or Palmolive dish detergents work best). Do not scrub the affected area, as this may cause more skin irritation. Please note: This process is applicable for both dogs and cats.
- Call your veterinarian
- Call Bayer Emergency Support Line at 1-800-422-9874. Let Bayer know your dog is having an adverse reaction to K9 Advantix by calling 1-800-422-9874. This line is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

How often should I use K9 Advantix 2?
Experts recommend monthly application to keep your dog protected year-round.
My dog is strictly indoors. Should I still use K9 Advantix 2?
