Advantix Medium Dog, flea and tick control 10 to 25 kg, 6 Pipettes - ELANCO

Advantix 10-25 kg: complete protection against fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and leishmaniasis

Advantix medium dog is an external veterinary antiparasitic product developed by the laboratory ELANCO to protect dogs from 10 to 25 kg against several parasites that transmit diseases.

Each spot-on pipette acts against:

• fleas
• ticks
• mosquitoes
• sandflies

These parasites can cause itching, skin lesions, significant discomfort and transmit certain vector-borne diseases. Thanks to its repellent and insecticidal efficacy, Advantix limits the attachment of parasites to the dog's skin.

A single application provides protection for approximately 4 weeks, which makes it easier to organize a regular antiparasitic program.

A dual action imidacloprid + permethrin against external parasites

A combination recognized in veterinary medicine

Advantix combines two complementary molecules:

• imidacloprid
• permethrin

Imidacloprid acts quickly against adult fleas by disrupting their nervous system. It eliminates parasites present on the animal within the first hours following application.

Permethrin exerts a repellent action against:

• ticks
• mosquitoes
• sandflies

This action limits the biting of parasites before pathogen transmission.

The combination of these two active ingredients thus provides complete protection against several major external parasites of the dog.

Protection against leishmaniasis and diseases transmitted by ticks

An essential repellent action against vectors

Sandflies are responsible for transmitting canine leishmaniasis. Thanks to its repellent effect, Advantix significantly reduces the risk of bites.

Similarly, tick repellency helps reduce the risk of transmission of certain vector-borne diseases.

Advantix is therefore a solution recommended by many veterinarians in areas exposed to seasonal parasites.

Why choose the 6-pipette format for medium dogs?

An economical solution suited for continuous protection

The 6-pipette format protects your dog for approximately 6 months, a full season of parasite exposure.

It facilitates:

• monitoring the antiparasitic treatment
• regularity of application
• optimizing the price per treatment

This packaging is particularly appreciated by customers seeking long-lasting protection against external parasites.

Frequently asked questions about Advantix medium dog 10 to 25 kg

Is Advantix dangerous?

Advantix is a safe veterinary medicine when used correctly in dogs. However, it contains permethrin, a substance toxic to cats. It is therefore essential to avoid any contact between cats and recently treated dogs. In dogs, adverse effects remain rare and may include localized skin reactions at the application site. When the conditions of use indicated are respected, Advantix has an excellent safety profile.

How to apply Advantix to a dog of 10 to 25 kg?

Application is done directly on the skin using a spot-on pipette. It is recommended to part the hair in order to deposit the product at several points along the dorsal line, between the shoulder blades and the base of the tail. This technique ensures optimal diffusion over the skin surface. Monthly application ensures continuous protection against external parasites.

What is the difference between Advantix 4 pipettes and 6 pipettes for medium dogs?

The difference concerns only the duration of protection. The active content remains identical between the two formats. The 4-pipette box covers approximately 4 months of protection, while the 6-pipette box provides coverage of approximately 6 months. The 6-pipette format generally offers a better price / treatment duration ratio.

Does Advantix protect against leishmaniasis and diseases transmitted by ticks?

Advantix acts by repelling sandflies responsible for transmitting leishmaniasis. This repellent action strongly reduces the risk of bites. Similarly, tick repellency limits the risk of transmission of certain vector-borne diseases. Advantix is therefore an effective preventive solution in exposed areas.

Can Advantix be combined with a dewormer for complete protection?

Yes, Advantix acts only against external parasites. It is recommended to combine it with an internal dewormer in order to achieve complete antiparasitic protection. This combination is part of the classic protocols recommended by veterinarians to effectively protect dogs throughout the year.
