Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How quickly does K9 Advantix II start killing fleas and ticks after application?

Ans: K9 Advantix II begins killing adult fleas within twelve hours of application and continues working for four full weeks. The contact-kill action means parasites die upon contact with treated fur, preventing biting and reducing disease transmission risk throughout the protection period.

Q2: Can my dog swim or bathe after applying K9 Advantix II?

Ans: Yes, K9 Advantix II features a waterproof formula that maintains effectiveness after bathing, swimming, or rain exposure. The treatment bonds to skin oils and hair follicles, providing consistent protection even with regular water activities throughout the month.

Q3: Is K9 Advantix II safe to use on dogs with sensitive skin?

Ans: K9 Advantix II may not be suitable for dogs with sensitive skin conditions. While generally safe, some dogs may experience localized irritation, including redness or scratching. Consult your veterinarian before use if your dog has known skin sensitivities or allergies.

Q4: What precautions should I take when applying K9 Advantix II around cats?

Ans: Keep cats away from treated dogs for at least 24 hours after application. Permethrin is extremely toxic to cats and can be fatal if cats contact treated areas before the product dries completely on the dog's fur.

Q5: Why am I seeing more fleas after treating my dog with K9 Advantix II?

Ans: Seeing more fleas initially is normal as dying fleas rise to the coat surface and become more visible. Environmental fleas may continue jumping on your dog for up to 30 days until the complete flea lifecycle is broken in your home.
