Fleas and ticks on a dog are a problem for several reasons. Most importantly, they can be harmful to the dog's health. Parasites can also quickly invade a home and infect people. One way to get rid of fleas and ticks in dogs is to apply Advantix. It is important to apply Advantix correctly to your dog in order to get the best flea and tick control results and to prevent infestation.

Steps

  1. 1 Find the right dosage for your dog.
    • Advantix is ​​sold in dosages based on dog weight, including small dogs (less than 11 lbs or 5 kg), medium dogs (11-20 lbs or 5-9 kg), large dogs (21-55 lbs or 9.5-25 kg), and very large (over 55 pounds or 25 kg).
    • These dosages are for dogs over 7 weeks old.
  2. 2 Place the dog in a rack.
    • This position will cover as much of the body as possible and allow for easy application.
  3. 3 Spread the fur on the shoulders and back of the dog until the skin is visible.
  4. 4 Turn the tube upside down and remove the cap.
  5. 5 Run the tube over the dog's shoulders and back. Squeeze the tube so that the liquid flows out of it in 2-6 different places along the spine from the shoulders to the tail.
    • For dogs with short backs, make 2-3 such spots, and for dogs with long backs, make 4-6 such spots.
    • Make sure the liquid is on the skin and not on the coat.
    • Do not allow liquid to enter the dog's mouth or eyes.
  6. 6 Throw the empty tube into the trash can.
    • Do not pour leftover liquid down the drain. Call your solid waste disposal company to find out how to properly dispose of unused liquid.
  7. 7 Keep your dog away from cats for at least 1 hour until the liquid is dry.
    • Advantix ingredients are not designed for feline metabolism.
  8. 8Reapply once a month.
  9. 9 Store closed tubes in a cool dry place. However, don't put them in the refrigerator.

Tips

  • Advantix is ​​waterproof. Therefore, you do not need to reapply it if your dog gets wet or bathed.
  • Each dosage is sold in a different color package to make it easier to find the right size. The colors of the packages are as follows: green for small dogs, turquoise (green-blue) for medium dogs, red for large dogs, and blue for very large dogs.

Warnings

  • Do not use too much Advantix on the dog at one point. Distribute the liquid evenly between the selected points.
  • Use only one tube of Advantix per dog once a month.
