Should i use advantix

I found then one on my son, who was caressing the dog. I am very worried. I am thinking about start using Seresto again. But how long should I wait? Any info regarding interactions between the different active ingredients? These are two totally unrelated active ingredients, and should be totally fine for you to use together. But when in doubt, talk to your vet about this.

Is it safe to combine Sentinel with a topical fipronil? Yes, but Sentinel is also a heartworm medication and your dog must be heartworm negative before starting this. Deer ticks are our concern here. We have removed brush, etc, and created a barrier. The CDC also lists some natural ones here:. Hi there! Any comparable info on Parastar? Also, Credelio is spelled incorrectly, but no biggie! I recommend pet owners to this comparison so much, thank you for compiling this!

Thanks so much for writing — spelling corrected! Is there any secondary exposure risk to humans from properly handled bravecto given to dogs that love to kiss their people a lot? One dog with history of multiple benign cancer growths, another with history of cystine stones and pancreatitus and another with history of allergies and on apoquel. Great question — no, very little risk.

The other problems you describe are very common problems unfortunately in older dogs with miniature Schnazuers coming to mind! No contraindications that I know of with anesthesia or surgery. The biggest contraindication would be if your dog has a seizure history!

Does Bravecto protect against hookworm infestation? My dogs take Bravecto for fleas and ticks, and they take Heart Pro shots for heart worms. Are they protected from hookworms? Great question — total personal preference but I would ask your vet too.

That said, check with your vet — they are all very effective and safe! I recently read information about the risks of using Bravecto. Have you seen any new information about it? What is your opinion? I did not see a review for Intercepter used for heartworm prevention. Your thoughts on it?

Whatdo you receommend for a liver shunt dog as far as flea and tick medicine? I have a chipom who is on medications for mitral valve disease and failure…. My question is my dog is now treated with frontline and had a flea bath…can I give her capstar? Yes, it is — but check with your veterinarian.

You can find the Freedom of Information act on it and the pertinent info here:. In repeat-dose toxicity studies in rats, the target organs are the adrenal glands, liver and ovaries. In rats, gross enlargement of the adrenal glands at Moreover, vacuolation in the adrenal gland was observed in males and adrenal gland weights were increased in females.

Also dose dependent histopathological changes were observed in the ovary. Signs appeared to occur primarily in the first 24 hours after dosing and resolved without treatment. Prenatal developmental toxicity studies have not shown any teratogenic effects, but studies of the effects on reproduction were not provided. Sarolaner is not genotoxic and no carcinogenicity studies were carried out. No treatment-related clinical signs were observed.

Such dogs are particularly susceptible to treatment with macrocyclic lactones e. K9 Advantix made my 50 pound lab nutty for two days. Jittery, stopping to scratch in an odd manner. The dose said What would it do to her if she were 20 pounds. I do not recommend! Oh no! When in doubt, call the on the box immediately. You can also apply a cool compress to the area after bathing it off and then open up an oral Vitamin E capsule and spread the oil over the site.

That may help! When in doubt, contact your veterinarian about which type of flea and tick medication to use. I saw on the news that dogs were having side effects with Bravecto, Nexguard and Simparica. My dog does better with a chewable any recommendations? I use these in my own dog, FYI. Thank you so much for the well written article but alas it has left me with further questions since leaving our own vet today.

We live on the East Coast of Canada. Is your dog on heartworm preventative too? If so, that typically has a dewormer in it. Does Bravecto prevent flea infestation as well as killing them? I am trying to decide between Bravecto and Seresto. Does either repell reinvesting fleas as well as killing the ones already on the dog? My 3 large dogs are on Sentinel Spectrum and Simparica.

Is it really necessary from them to take both? From what I can see the only additional protection Simparica gives is for ticks? Great question — yes, if you live in a tick infested area, you do need tick coverage. The Sentinel has NO tick coverage.

The Simparica does get both fleas and ticks! I need to leave him with a petsitter in a high tick infested area. Great Pyreneese lbs is on Revolution. Found a tick on him. Vet gave me NexGard. They suggested he be tested for Lymes Disease in weeks. Dog is on both meds. Should I continue giving him Revolution and NexGard? Seems like an awful lot of meds. Great question — the Revolution is needed for heartworm protection.

It does also get fleas and limited ticks. I would check with your vet! None of these products sound truly safe for our dog or for the environment. There simply has to be another way! Thank you for your input!

I want to use bravecto but my dog is only 3 months. Our vet only have comfortus. We call alot. What can I use in addition to comfortis go ticks? You can ask if it can be used extra-label. You can consider a Preventic collar, Seresto collar, Simparica, etc. We live in NC where fleas are awful and ticks are everpresent. They are indoor-outdoor dogs so they need coverage for both creatures. We seem to get about three weeks of use out of a dose of Advantix II.

Is there something different that I can use that will help with the itching, fleas, ticks, and gnats? Bravecto and Nexgard have caught my eye. A Seresto collar will help with repellancy for gnats and mosquitos, but with kids cuddling, I prefer oral. I personally use Bravecto in my dog every 3 months. This is an extremely informative article — thanks for the information.

I have an 8 year old Std. Poodle that I use Advantage-Multi for heart worm and flea control, and two weeks after applying it, I apply Advantix II for tick and flea control. I have had no problems with these 2 products in him. I have a new std poodle puppy 12 weeks old and want to know if this combination would be acceptable for her. I am asking this since I started the combination of the 2 products in my older dog when he was an adult.

Should there have been been a waiting period before starting a new medicine? I waited the 30 days until he was due again. But when in doubt, please call your vet or the company to confirm! Hi Dr. Thanks for this informative article.

One question. Are you familiar with Paradyne for cats? Does it have good efficacy versus Revolution? My previous dog a cockapoo had occasional seizures and I was always nervous giving her K9 Advantix.

Sadly we lost her last May not due to seizures and now we have a 7 months old puppy. The vet gave me Provecta topical which I have used twice and so far no seizures.

He is also on Tri-Heart Plus. Two questions, is it OK to buy online and what do you think of Provecta vs. K9 Advantix or another topical flea and tick product. Thanks in advance. Best information available on the web regarding flea control. I should have done research prior to administering an item. I decided to use Hartz flea and tick topical because the company has been around for years. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Do NOT apply this on cats though! What about Nexgard Spectrum? I started with Nexgard and then changed to Bravecto. I always say, do what your vet would do! All of these flea and tick medications are generally safe; there are rare adverse effects seen, so you do need to be aware e.

This article is SO helpful! We currently give Simparica and Heartgard to our dog. Also, we are getting a puppy and he will be 11 weeks.

Thank you! Thanks Ashley! You can use some of the orals on puppies e. For mosquitoes and gnats, I believe that Advantix and the Seresto collar gets them but would confirm with your vet or the Bayer Animal Health website. Hope that helps! My 17 pound mixed breed rescue hates to have Advantix applied to her.

She will squirm, hide etc. Afterward she seems a little depressed and it lasts for a day. Is this something to worry about? The reaction was twitching and staring in a trace like state very soon after dosing.

The vet switched back to a topical but not positive about brand, I believe it was Nexgard. He had same reactions. I am concerned now because we Just moved to a very heavily wooded area in Eastern TN where ticks are much more prevalent. Is there an holistic or organic option? Should we try the Frontline again? What are your thoughts? Thank you for your help. In TN, you definitely need a strong tick preventative.

Frontline can be used be has a slower kill, but still is effective. Leaning toward Brovector for the environmental important reasons you gave…. Thanks for the comparisons…. I do like that it is palatable…for a 4 month old puppy that does NOT like pills…. Recent sent this to my vet per your disclaimer.

We are now waiting for results of uninalysis with sedment to check for kidney damage. He has no symptoms. Vet wants to start doxycyline for 4 weeks, just in case.

I know that is controversial, and am concerned because I get upset stomach with the drug myself, and my poodle is already not a big eater. I found this convenient because we walk 3 times a day, rain or shine, and he is groomed every 4 weeks. Using topicals could get problematic when it rained too often. When using either med we have occasionally found ticks that were already dead, but once at least one was attached.

Her advice is to add Seresto to Nexguard, but since a month old grandchild will soon be living very close by, I have even more reason to feel uncomfortable with Seresto, or even Frontiline Plus, as an add on. There are no sidewalks to separate him from vegetation, and we steer clear of grass that looks too perfect and chemically treated. Because he is an industrious digger for moles etc, he no longer runs free in our fenced backyard, so realistically limiting his exposure to ticks would require him living in a bubble.

I think perhaps there was a 2 or 3 day lapse in his Nexguard when he was at the kennel, but am not sure.

I face this decision as I realize that we have been feeding one of the foods implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy, and so have put my dog in jeopardy on two accounts. Given that it is possible that his exposure could have come from a gap in meds, would it be imprudent to limit him to Nexguard with very strict adherence to the 30 day schedule?

But truly, does it have to be given exactly 30 days? No, approximately 4 weeks. Thank you so much for your advice. Backyard chickens are not a possibility in our town, so perhaps I need to investigate safe treatments for the yard, if such things actually exist.

The problem is that each thing we think is safe eventually is found not to be. Thank you very much for the advice. I always used heartworm meds year round, long before vets in this area began to recommend that.

Would it be the case that we should be doing the same with tick meds, no break when there is snow etc? I have an yr-old Pom who had his first grand mall seizure the day after administering Advantage when he was a puppy.

He has had a seizure disorder ever since which escalated in the last year so we have him on Keppra. As luck would have it, he started itching with fleas on Saturday. On Sunday we gave him Paradyne topical but he is still itching like crazy after 4 days and has flea dirt on him. What should we do? Sorry — life got ahead of me! I like the oral flea and tick medications honestly, to prevent environmental contamination and exposure.

I hope that helps! Best, Dr. We like to give Frontline Plus to our lab. I have been battling fleas all summer with natural products. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I was considering Seresto collars because i need to do something. Advice please! He would walk a few feet then sit down. Gave him a bath with dawn later that day to wash off any product that we could.

Condition remained the same thru Saturday. Sunday he seemed like he was better and now Monday morning he is whining and doing the walking a few feet then sitting down again.

Just not himself at all. How long will this last? Anything else we should do? You typically have to bathe 3 times, full body, to get it off. Thank you very much. It dehydrates them a little bit but the scientific evidence for their use is poor. He is currently on Denamarin.

I have been using K9 Advantix 2. I recently read this can cause elevated liver enzymes. Would revolution be better? Would Revolution be better? This is generally safe to use with increased liver enzymes.

You can always use the Seresto collar too but when in doubt, check with your vet! Is it safe to use oral and topical flea and tick treatment together? I like the ease of the oral but also want something to repel the ticks to prevent our dog from brining them into the house.

Also, we have a newborn — is topical treatment safe if the newborn is coming into contact with the dog? Can K9 Advantage be used for a heart worm preventative if my dog has a negative heart worm test. I have used Sentinel in the past with a topical for fleas and ticks. Advantage only gets fleas and ticks.

Advantix will prevent heartworm. I would consult with your vet. The negative HW test has to have been recent also.

Hi, first of all, thank you so much for compiling this. If all dogs are not treated the fleas will continue their cycle of feeding and producing eggs and infesting your home. Protect it from freezing and always keep out of reach of children. If a bath is necessary between applications, use an unmedicated shampoo specifically designed for dogs.

Baths can be given as often as once per month without affecting the performance of the product. Our Products. How does it work? Buy Online. Menu section text.
