Hi there! I completely understand your concerns about using K9 Advantix II on your furry friend. It's great that you're checking into this before applying it. Most dogs tolerate K9 Advantix II just fine, but like with any medication, some dogs may experience side effects.
After application, you’ll want to keep an eye out for:
- Mild irritation at the application site, like redness or itchiness
- A temporary change in behavior such as a slight increase in anxiety or agitation
If your pup shows mild signs like these, they usually resolve on their own. You can gently wash the area with mild soap and water to ease any irritation.
However, you should consider it an emergency and contact your vet immediately if your dog experiences:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Excessive drooling
- Severe lethargy or weakness
- Tremors or seizures
- Difficulty breathing
These signs could indicate an allergic reaction or other serious problem. In general, make sure to follow the dosing instructions on the packaging closely to prevent any overdose or toxicity issues. It’s also important not to use this product on cats, as it can be very harmful to them.
If you’re ever in doubt or if your pet's symptoms worsen, it’s best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately. Your pet's health is unique, and decisions should only be made after consulting with a qualified professional. By using this forum, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to seek in-person veterinary advice for all your pet's health needs. View our
