I’m shopping around for a pet flea treatment and control product. Can you tell me more about K9 Advantix?

K9 Advantix is one of the most effective and complete pet flea treatment and flea control products on the market. K9 Advantix works to:

• Prevent ticks from attaching by repelling and killing them before they can bite your pet
• Stop fleas by killing them before they can bite or lay eggs. Also breaks flea life cycle by preventing flea larvae from maturing.
• Repel and kill mosquitoes before they can bite your pet and transmit disease
• Repel biting flies
• Kill chewing lice within one week of application

K9 Advantix should be used once a month year-round by placing the substance on the skin of the shoulder blade. For larger dogs, you should place the K9 Advantix in three or four spots on the back of the dog. K9 Advantix is water proof and will stay effective even if the dog goes swimming, affected by rain, or is bathed. When bathing, owners should opt for a non-detergent shampoo to avoid interfering with the effectiveness of the K9 Advantix.

K9 Advantix combines to proven and power ingredients to help your pet fight off fleas, ticks, and other external parasites. The two ingredients are permethrin and imidacloprid. The imidacloprid complements the permethrin, and together they immobilize, paralyze, and debilitate the parasite nerve cells and kill the fleas, ticks, and other external parasites.

What distinguishes K9 Advantix from other topical flea treatment products is that it not only kills the fleas, ticks, and other parasites but also repels them as well. Other top topical flea treatment products such as Frontline Plus only kill the ticks, fleas, and chewing lice and do not repel them. Also, K9 Advantix works on biting flies and chewing lice, which are two external parasites often not covered and protected for with other topical flea treatment products.

K9 Advantix is designed for dog use only, and since cats cannot metabolize certain substances and compounds, K9 Advantix should not be used for cats. For cat flea solutions, you can check out the Advantage topical solution from the same company.

K9 Advantix can be purchased from licensed veterinarians. K9 Advantix is made by Bayer Animal Health, which is a division of Bayer HealthCare, LLC. Bayer is committing to providing quality products to keep your pets healthy and well, since they are significant companions and parts of human lives.

How do I pick the right flea treatment or flea control product for my pet and home?

For picking the right safe and effective pet flea control treatment for your pet and home, the first place to start is with your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can recommend a safe and effective flea treatment product brand along with the right doses and instructions for usage. If you have any questions about any particular product or solution, be sure to ask your veterinarian and another appropriate expert. You can also ask other pet owners, friends, and family for their experiences with certain flea treatment medicine and get their recommendations.

Another way to approach is is you can also read reviews of the different flea treatment products on the web and see which ones pet owners have had success with and would recommend. Reading web reviews is also a good way to identify pet flea control products that people have not had good experiences with. We had a reader submit a review on the a pet flea product called Sentry Pro XFC that he bought at Petsmart thinking that all their products would be safe. His dog had such a severe reaction to this product (wheezing, trouble breathing, and general body aches leading to insomnia) that he rushed to wash the product off and take him to the emergency room. When he searched for the product on the web later on, he found that there were many pet owners complaining about the dangers of this product; if he had done this research ahead of time, he could have avoided this potentially dangerous and fatal pet flea product.

To help out with flea problems or infestations inside the home you can think about some of the products mentioned about. The best approach is probably to find different pest control and exterminators companies to get their expertise. Many of these flea control companies will send a technician out to your home or place of business to assess the problem and offer quotes for different solutions they have. Some pet owners will opt for regular monthly or periodic flea spray services for pets that are particularly prone to flea issues or live in areas that may have more fleas. You should also ask friends and family for their experiences with different pest control or flea exterminator companies to get their impressions, experiences, and recommendations.

Getting all the information you can about certain flea treatment medicine and flea control solutions will allow you to make the most educated decision you can about picking the right solution for your pet and home.

How do I get the best deal for the flea treatment and control product that I choose?

Our best suggestion is to shop, shop, shop around. Once you know what product you want, there are so many different retailers and stores especially online. You can shop around to get the best prices and look for special deals like quantity discounts, automatic reordering, free shipping, coupons, price match, or any other special deals. One word of caution: you need to also be aware of disreputable web companies which may sell fake, expired, or imitation doses of different flea treatment products. It is often difficult to distinguish these from the real thing. So, the only thing to consider is not price only. You want to be sure you are choosing a reputable seller with a customer service and reputation. A good place to check out certain companies, distributors, and websites is to verify their status with the Better Business Bureau to make sure that there are not outstanding complaints against them and that they strive to resolve any customer disputes.
