Together these ingredients overwhelm the nervous system killing the parasite. Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator. K9 Advantix II topical solution also repels biting flies and kills lice.
Cautions: DO NOT USE ON CATS.Cats cannot metabolize the ingredients used in this product.Cats must be separated from dogs during treatment. Do not allow your cat to come in contact with a treated dog for 24 hours.

Compared to BIOS and Frontline, I liked how the medicine stayed on my dog's back. Smell was little bit strong but my dod wasn't bothered by it which was very important to me especially when my dog went through breathing problem on some other products bought from Petsmart. Compared to frontline, price is very reasonable.
My little 9# toy Poodle 'Mystic Pearl' had a very bad experience with this product. Soon after the application she was very agitated and trying to bite at and scratch the area where it was properly applied. Being the weekend I contacted the Bayer hotline and was directed to wash the area with dish detergent several times which we did right away and then to apply Vitamin E Oil to the area of application and to reapply occasionally which we also did right away. The Bayer emergency assistant also suggested cold compresses to the application area to further relieve the irritation to little Pearl. She also refered to her by name several times and was very kind which I complimented, however, I also inquired as to where I could file a complaint about the product and inform pet owners of the possible side effects and she povided me with this number 1-800-255-6826. The Bayer emergency number was 1-800-422-9874. This can be very harmful to some dogs I will not use it again and have requested a refund. I hope this keeps a dog from going through what poor little Mystic Pearl endured.
After many trials with flea preventative I thought I'd try one more seeing how Trifectis is so expensive and I cant use it on my little dog cause she isnt big enough. Advantix ll works great. I was a little disapointed by the greasy effect it has on them but overall I wont change. We live down South where mosquitoes are very dominate and they now dont even go near the dogs!!!!
