Is Advantage Multi for Dogs waterproof?
Advantage Multi for Dogs prevents heartworm disease in dogs after a swim or bath, 60 and 90 minutes respectively after application.
How do I apply Advantage Multi for Dogs?
Do not apply to irritated skin.
- Remove one dose applicator tube from the package.
- While holding the tube in an upright position, remove the cap from the tube.
- Turn the cap over and push the other end of the cap onto the tip of the tube.
- Twist the cap to break the seal and then remove cap from the tube.
- The dog should be standing for application. Part the hair on the back of the dog between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible.
For dogs weighing 20 lbs. or less, place the tip of the tube on the skin and apply the entire contents directly on the exposed skin at one spot between the shoulder blades. For dogs weighing more than 20 lbs., place the tip of the tube on the skin and apply the entire contents directly on the exposed skin at 3 or 4 spots on the top of the backline from the base of the neck to the upper back in an area inaccessible to licking. Do not apply an amount of solution at any one location that could run off the side of the dog. Do not let this product get in your dog's mouth or eyes. Do not allow the dog to lick any of the application sites for 30 minutes.
How old does my dog have to be to use Advantage Multi for Dogs?
Advantage Multi for Dogs is for use on puppies at least 7 weeks old and weighing at least 3 pounds.
Does Advantage Multi for Dogs expire?
Advantage Multi for Dogs does have an expiration date that can be found on the bottom edge of the package. Advantage Multi for Dogs should not be used past its expiration date.
When can I bathe my dog after using Advantage Multi for Dogs?
We recommend bathing before applying product. The product can be applied once the pet is towel dried. Shampooing 90 minutes after treatment does not reduce the effectiveness of Advantage Multi for Dogs in the prevention of heartworm disease. Shampooing or water immersion 4 days after treatment does not reduce the effectiveness of Advantage Multi for Dogs in the treatment of flea infestations. However, shampooing as often as once weekly may reduce the effectiveness of the product against fleas. Please use a pet shampoo that is soap-free.
Can my dog go swimming after using Advantage Multi for Dogs?
Yes. A study showed that when dogs went swimming 60 minutes after application, Advantage Multi for Dogs still effectively prevented heartworm disease. A study also showed that swimming 4 days after treatment did not reduce the effectiveness of Advantage Multi for Dogs in the treatment of flea infestations.
When should I put Advantage Multi on my dog?
You should apply Advantage Multi for Dogs monthly (every 30 days), all year-round.
How does Advantage Multi for Dogs work to kill fleas?
Advantage Multi for Dogs is applied to the pet's skin. The active ingredient spreads over your dog's body to kill fleas through contact so they don't have to bite your dog to die.
What if I miss an Advantage Multi for Dogs heartworm treatment?
Life happens. If you forget or miss a dose, simply treat your dog immediately. Advantage Multi for Dogs is heartworm prevention that forgives if you forget. It kills immature heartworms that may already be in your dog and continues to prevent future infection by killing newly acquired baby worms throughout the month. After a single dose, if you forget and go more than 30 days in between treatments, just treat immediately and resume your monthly schedule.
Does Advantage Multi for Dogs kill ticks?
No. Advantage Multi for Dogs provides broad-spectrum protection against heartworms, fleas, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and the skin parasite sarcoptic mange. If you are concerned about ticks, Bayer has effective products that treat and prevent tick infestations.
How often can I use Advantage Multi for Dogs?
Use monthly, year-round, to prevent heartworm disease; kill adult fleas; treat flea infestations; treat and control hookworms, roundworms and whipworms; and treat and control sarcoptic mange.

Great and easy
By Sharon on Apr 12, 2021
My dog will not eat any pill form of meds no matter how I try to disguise it. I have to pound the pill into miniscule pieces and put in his food, and even then he will leave any pieces that are not very small. Received the Advantge Multi topical solution and now life is so much easier (at least one day a month lol).

Didn't work for my dog
By Patty on Mar 8, 2021
This is the medicine that was recommended when we adopted our dog. Three weeks after adopting her, she tested positive for hookworm. We continued using Multi-Advantage for another two months, along with medicines from the vet. She continued to test positive for hookworm for almost 10 weeks. We switched to Sentinel, which is taken orally, and the problem stopped after one dose. Maybe she just had a bad case, but I will stick with oral medicine in the future.

Life saver!
By Chewylover on Jan 26, 2021
We adopted a dog from a shelter in the south. When she came to us she had a horrible case of hookworms! We tried every kind of dewormer but she kept coming back positive for hookworms. Our vet finally recommended trying this for something different. We treated her with this and FINALLY got a negative fecal!!!!! This product was truly a life saver for us. Would definitely recommend to treat those pesky parasites! Thank u advantage multi and chewy!!!!!

Horrible service from chewy
By kat32192 on Nov 9, 2020
I tried to request this product 4 separate times from Chewy. My vets information is on file, yet somehow, they always end up contacting a completely different vet who, of course, would be unable to approve the script. It doesnt matter if you do this order online or over the phone, Chewy will screw it up! Took 3.5 weeks of back and forth while my dogs were dealing with fleas, one who has an allergy to them. Ended up taking my business elsewhere so my dogs could get the coverage they needed, i suggest you do the same.

Cost Effesctive
By EBAS on Dec 2, 2020
As a Non Profit Animal Shelter we always have to watch the bottom line while providing the best care possible for our guests. Sugar has been in a long term foster situation, and is living the best life ever. This is a product see NEEDS, this is the best price option for our Shelter. Chewy delivers again.

Advantage Multi
By Marybeth on Jan 8, 2021
I've used this topical product on my dog and she has tolerated it well so far. I had been using Coraxis, and think this is a similar product. So far, so good! Thanks.

Used as part of Slow Kill method
By Shire2019 on Dec 11, 2020
We use this prevention along with Doxycycline (given quarterly) as part of our slow kill method for heartworm positive seniors. It is very effective when administered properly. We continue to use it as a preventive once the slow kill process has been completed. Great product.
