K9 Advantix And Frontline Plus For Dogs Kill Fleas, And Keep On Killing Them

 

Firstly, let us confirm, K9 Advantix is a Dog's Flea Treatment, hence the name. This is not a product which can be used on cats. So if you are a cat owner, stick with Frontline as that is definitely the best product to control fleas and ticks for our feline pets.

Dog owners though, do have a choice. K9 Advantix for Dogs does some of what Frontline Plus does, and a little more, and it is even sold at a lower price. But, do you need Dog Advantix flea drops?

Fleas
Both K9 Advantix and Frontline Plus for Dogs kill fleas, and keep on killing them for at least a month. But, Frontline Plus usually carries on killing new fleas which meet your dog for much longer, anything up to two months. This period of flea control varies depending on the number and activity levels of the fleas in your locality, so expect the longest time-span during the winter months.

There are some major differences that you should take note of when comparing K9 Advantix vs Frontline Plus. Not only do they use different chemicals and Frontline Plus uses only one compared to K9 Advantix use of two, they also have other benefits. Frontline Plus kills not only fleas and tick but chewing lice as well. It also breaks the flea life cycle by killing adult fleas within 12 hours of application keeping them from reproducing. K9 Advantix kills and repels fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. It also repels biting flies and kills chewing lice. Unlike Frontline Plus, K9 Advantix breaks the flea life cycle in multiple places.

Another major difference when comparing K9 Advantix vs Frontline Plus is the amount of treatment you get for the price. Both are comparably priced, within a few dollars of one another, but you actually get more treatment with the K9 Advantix package than you do the Frontline Plus package. K9 Advantix comes in a handy four pack. This can get you through four months or a couple of months if you have two dogs. That means at least you have to buy 3 packages a year. Frontline Plus only comes in a three pack. If you have more than one dog that means you have to buy at least a package each month at the very least to protect year round you have to purchase four packages, making it cost much more than the competition.

Ticks: Both these products demolish ticks but only the Dog Advantix resists them.
Biting Lice: Both these products also wipe out chewing lice.
Biting Flies: Here only Dog Advantix resists biting flies.
Mosquitoes: Here the story is different. Only K9 Advantix resists and kills mosquitoes.

When you apply the medication to the back of your dog's neck it is quickly absorbed into the glands under the dogs skin. It does not just sit on top of the skin. It is slowly released by the body over the period of about a month. Since it is stored under the skin it is a waterproof product and won't be washed off or made less effective by giving your pet a bath. Wait at least forty-eight hours before bathing your dog after applying topical medications like Advantix.

This medication is cheap. A monthly dose comes out to about fifteen dollars, on the high side. Fifteen dollars a month is inexpensive peace of mind that your pet is going to be happy, healthy, and protected from fleas, ticks, and other nuisance pests.
