K9 Advantix or Advantage?

What is K9 Advantix?

BudgetPetCare :: Flea & Tick Treatments

K9 Advantix for dogs, manufactured by Beyer, is a topical liquid treatment providing treatment and prevention of flea larvae and adult fleas, lice, ticks and biting flying insects such as mosquitos.

Containing imidacloprid and permethrin, K9 Advantix rapidly eliminates 98-100% of insects on your dog quickly and efficiently within 12 hours. K9 Advantix is said to prevent insect infestation for a month after the treatment.

What is Advantage?

Advantage for dogs, also manufactured by Beyer, kills all flea larvae and adult fleas.

The active ingredient, imidacloprid, quickly paralyzes the flea’s nervous system to kill them within 12 hours of application. 100% of all chewing lice on your dog will be eliminated within 7 days of treatment.

Which should I buy for my dog?

If you live in an area that has a high tick or biting flying insect population, BudgetPetCare

would recommend K9 Advantix. However one of the active ingredients of K9 Advantix, permethrin, is highly toxic to cats so if you also have a cat, separation during treatment is necessary. If you are unable to keep your dog and cat apart then it is advisable to use Advantage instead which doesn’t contain permethrin.

More bang for your buck!

Pet Med Spotlight – Capstar

Capstar for dogs and cats

Capstar – Product information

Flea infestations are a common problem for pet owners and can prove to be a nightmare, no matter how minor.  Left untreated, fleas can multiply rapidly to infect both your pet and your household, so it’s worth treating your pets as soon as possible to get rid of these pesky parasites.

Capstar is a fantastic product that helps to protect your dog from fleas. Capstar does not give off any odor, and there is no messy application. The active ingredient, nitenpyram, kills fleas and prevents them from laying more eggs, making it the ideal treatment against external parasites.

Unlike topical flea treatments, which can take up to 12 hours to kill fleas on your pet, Capstar treatment starts killing fleas in as little as 30 minutes. Within just 4-6 hours, over 90% of all the adult fleas on the animal will be eliminated. Capstar can be given to dogs and cats, as well as kittens and puppies from age 4 weeks and body weight 2 lbs and over.

Capstar – directions for use

Administered as an oral tablet, a single dose can be given with or without food at any time of the day. Please note that it is important for all animals in the household to be treated to control and protect against flea infestations.
