Great stuff, but takes a couple of days to be effective

On: 2007-07-01

We have active dogs and live in a rural location where they can chase ground-squirrels and rabbits through brushy areas. As this seems to be a particularly bad year for ticks, we decided to invest in this product as it had good reviews. At first I was concerned because for two days after application I was still finding ticks on the dogs. Then poof! No more ticks showed up on the dogs. I do not know how effective it is on fleas, as we had not noticed any fleas on our dogs prior to using the product. We applied it almost a month ago, and the dogs are still tick-free. We will definitely be purchasing more of this product.

Emergency Help Not Helpful

On: 2006-11-21

Weve been using Advantix for a long time and it works great BUT recently we had an emergency with our small dog.

I came home to find her eyes swollen shut. Wed 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 "its not like theres an antidote". Eventually I just hung up.

Im 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--dont bother calling and dont bother buying!
