K9 Advantix is a topical monthly spot-on treatment that protects dogs against fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, sand flies, stable flies, chewing lice, and biting insects. The topical treatment kills fleas and ticks just by contact. The single treatment controls various external parasites and prevents secondary diseases transmitted due to fleas and ticks. Advantix remains effective for one full month and is safe to use for dogs and puppies over 7 weeks of age.
Imidacloprid and Permethrin are the active ingredients present in K9 Advantix. The combined effect of the ingredients helps in eliminating fleas and ticks. The ingredients attack their nervous system and blocks sodium channels responsible for nerve impulses. This leads to hyper-excitation, paralysis, and death. Additionally, due to the repelling action called the ‘ hot foot’ activity, the topical treatment repels ticks and stops them from sticking on the treated dogs.
