 Worked for my dogs. April 28, 2008

I have used this product on 2 dogs now. One being a pug, the other a rat terrier. Both times have been a success. The biggest success so far was the pug. She had fleas when we got her and we put this on her and within 15-30 minutes, the fleas were coming off of her dead. The other thing was that this stuff repels mosquitos. That is not a lie. Our patio has frequent blood-suckers and they will bother you and make you come inside. But we took the pug out with us several times and never had mosquitos bother us, you could hear them flying around, but they wouldn't come in our vicinity. So far it has been winter and hasn't been an opportunity to see how the rat terrier will do with the mosquitos, but she has been flea free so far. I highly recommend this product but if your dog does have complications, then that's understandable you wouldn't like it. So, for me it's been 2 for 2 success rate.

I used K9 Advantix because I was bringing my dog with me on vacation into tick-infested woods. I used three-quarters of the 20 lb. dose on my 13 lb. poodle. Approx. 12 hours after application, she began to have terrible neurological symptoms, running in circles and crying, jerking and jumping. Her nose became very hot and her breathing became rapid and shallow. We were up all night. By the time I got instructions over the telephone to wash it off with liquid dish detergent, it had been 24 hours. She survived, but the cartilage in her throat has been damaged and her bark is permanently changed. If you are using this product for the first time, PLEASE use only half the recommended dose and standby with the liquid dish detergent. If your dog can stand it, you can apply the rest two days later. The only antidote for permethrin poisoning is to wash it off with liquid dish detergent within the first 24 hours! Many dogs have been injured, and deaths have been attributed to K9 Advantix. If you feel you must use it, first read the horror stories on the internet. Bayer Animal Health should have included on the box instructions on how to wash it off with detergent if there was an adverse reaction.
Emergency Help Not Helpful November 21, 2006

We've been using Advantix for a long time and it works great BUT recently we had an emergency with our small dog.br /br /I came home to find her eyes swollen shut. We'd done nothing out of the ordinary except apply her latest dose of Advantix the night before. We thought perhaps she had rubbed some on her bed and then gotten it in her eyes. While my wife ran the dog to the vet, I called the emergency help number for Advantix to see what they recommend should this be the case. After describing the situation to the Advantix representative, he told me in a most condesending tone that it sounded like "an interesting theory". After repeating that I was just interested in finding out what we should just in case, he again refused to give me any sort of advice and instead implied I was lying. He sarcastically informed me that "it's not like there's an antidote". Eventually I just hung up.br /br /I'm not sure why there is an emergency help number listed if Advantix is not planning on giving any help, but for all the other pet owners out there--don't bother calling and don't bother buying!
