Advantix - HELP: ADVICE

[Jessika]

Anyone here who has actually used advantix can help? We're leaving tomorrow...

I usually use Frontline but did try Advantix - Sherman was ok with it but Star had a terrible reaction - she developed what looked like skin burns everywhere I put the drops. They healed eventually but I'll never use it on her again. If you use it, check the skin to make sure there's no reaction.

I have 5 cats in the house with my Artica and I would never use Advantix due to the risk of something happening with the cats. My vet here and in Canada also recommends Frontline Plus. If there is the slightest chance it could hurt my kitties it doesn't even come through the door but that is just me. I am an overprotective pet parent.

IMO I would make an exchange for Frontline Plus and ditch the Advantix. I haven't heard many good things about it anyway. Good Luck.

Ugh well, too late now as we're leaving in 15 minutes, gonna use what I have, apply it at the campsite... at least they'll be away from any kitties for 3 days! And I'll be sure to watch them like a hawk even after they return home. I'll also keep an eye on rashes... thanks for the help...

Funny though, looking through reviews via google Advantix always was recommended over frontline, well not always but in general. Plus I read a LOT saying Advantix was not waterproof, but I'm reading in the booklet and it says it persists even after baths and swimming, so I assume it is.

Thanks, guys
