| Max has been using this for over a year. No fleas at all (knock on wood) and only 1 dead tick attached. Before K-9 Advantix that he was on Frontline and I pulled 3 ticks off in in 1 day alone!

| I love it He's been on it since June and not one tick/flea. When he was Frontline, he had well over 6 ticks in a span of one month.

| We've one back to it from Multi as we went back to a dedicated hearteworm med. The only thing I see and am testing, is that I think it irritates their skin or dries it out making it itchy. After a few days, they seem to try to scratch as close to the application area quite a bit. Next application I may try a bath a day or 2 after, just to get it out of the hair. Of course, with a shampoo that won't wash away the medication. As far as working, we've never had a flea, tick or anything, but they're either in the house or back yard only, most of the time. And they have free access to the back yard. |

| I think K9 Advantix works better than Frontline Plus, but my vet says fleas can build up immunity to one product so sometimes it helps to alternate. I ended up quitting both cause for all the toxicity they weren't working well enough.

| When living in Texas, where fleas, and mosquitoes were a problem I used it and had tremendous success. I used it a bit differently the instructions, I apply it 24 hours prior to a bath, never, ever seeing a flea, tick on them or a mosquito around them.

| So, if this product is not good for our babies...which one is? I have two pups under a year and we are just starting to let them explore outside so I need a flea prevention system. I hope there is a good one out there... |

| I use the K9 Advantix because it works and I don't know what else would work as well. I had to pull 3 ticks off of him on one day last year (when on Frontline). One was just above his eye lid. They attached really fast because i check him a few times a day when petting.

| Sentinel has a heartworm pill with flea prevention in it. It is VERY expensive but does anyone know if it really works? |

| I have a friend who uses this. She seems to like it. I think the cost is pretty good considering it has the heartworm and flea prevention all in one. I also think it has the wormer too. I will be considering this once my Frontline is all gone. |
