Advantage Multi Topical Solution for Dogs, 55.1-88 lbs, 6 treatments (Blue Box)

I have been using this product nearly a year with my `1yo Heeler. It does as it says and works great. That being said; I noticed after the second month she would hide when I took the treatment out of the box and really didn't want me to apply it. It does have a strong odor so I wrote it off as that. BUT.... On application of her last dose we were getting ready to travel and giving her a bath and applying the treatment was the last order of business before we left. I pulled her out from under the table and applied the treatment as instructed and put her in the backseat. We hadn't gotten down the road but a couple miles and her still damp from the bath and the med on her back she shook. My I have been using this product nearly a year with my `1yo Heeler.

We hadn't gotten down the road but a couple miles and her still damp from the bath and the med on her back she shook. My face and the car all got a little dose of this product. My face felt like it was on fire seconds after exposure and I wiped if off me nearly immediately with a wet towel. It continued to burn for nearly an hour or so. Where ever the droplets of water/treatment hit the upholstery and the plastic trim in the car it was like acid had been splattered. It too was wiped off nearly immediately. Maybe 30 seconds after wiping it off me. The product ate through the vinyl and the faux metal plastic. You can actually feel the divots where it hit. All that said... Now I'm afraid this stuff is painful to my best friend. I of course want her to be safe but, I also don't want to burn her with something obviously caustic every month. I can tell you it really was pretty uncomfortable for me and if it had entered my eyes I'm not sure what would have happened. I've tried to research the web for solutions or information about this without success. If anyone has thoughts or similar experiences let me know. We're past due to give her the dose on the 1st. I haven't done so out of fear of hurting her. Any guidance would be appreciated. … more

I've used this treatment for over 5 years now because it treats both ticks and heartworm in one. Although the price has increased almost $30 in the past year (which I'm really not happy about), I haven't found another prescription that treats as many parasites for the cost.

This was my second time ordering through Chewy Pharmacy, but my dogs have been on this medicine for years. I like this product as an alternative to pills, because my dogs put up a fight with pills. Very easy to apply. Only thing to be aware of with this type of medicine is the type of bath wash you bathe them in. The vet told me that oatmeal-based bath wash was fine for this, but others might dilute the effect of the medicine. I usually bathe my dogs once a month and put the medicine on after bath time so I don't have to worry about any of that anyway.

Im a vet tech and have worked in the veterinary field for a long time. I absolutely love this product because it does not only fleas and some intestinal parasites (specifically hookworms) that are very resistant to medications but it also covers heartworms and microfilaria (baby heartworms).This product has sold me over its efficacy and it’s studies done on how long the product works for. I’d much rather do something topical that covers all of those than doing oral heartworms prevention. I’m so glad this product exists honestly, happy I ran into it at the place I worked at.

Thank you Chewy pharmacy for helping me find the medication combination necessary to cope with the resistant hookworms present in greyhounds being adopted from the closing tracks in Florida. I think you will find more and more customers with this problem who will be appreciative of you well stocked supplies and superior customer service.

I greatly appreciate the timing that Chewing provided on my order during this difficult time. Their efforts on getting things to their customers are greatly appreciated.

I purchased a tube of this from my veterinarian for a stray dog we acquired who had a pretty nasty case of fleas. We wanted a non-oral product that killed fleas and flea eggs. As we do not have a flea issues in my home and wanted something that would prevent one from developing. I generally use Revolution, but because of the introduction of newer products my vet no longer carries it in house and the only way to get it is online. We needed something that day. So I opted for this. I’ll start with the negatives- 1.)This products flea portion works with the skin oils, hence the “fleas don’t have to bite to be effected” claim they make. However, because of this the product is really greasy upon application I purchased a tube of this from my veterinarian for a stray dog we acquired who had a pretty nasty case of fleas.

So I opted for this. I’ll start with the negatives- 1.)This products flea portion works with the skin oils, hence the “fleas don’t have to bite to be effected” claim they make. However, because of this the product is really greasy upon application and can take upwards of 24 hours to dry/spread. 2.) Because of how greasy it is, you have to be careful about petting your dog or having your dog touch you until the product dries. I made the error of applying it before leaving the clinic and had it all over my hands by the time we got home as I sat in the back seat with her. 3.) Because again of the dry time you’ll need to be careful about how your dog interacts with other animals. Certain levels of this product ingested or rubbed off can be toxic to other dogs, cats, or other species. So you’ll have to prevent interaction until drying. Positives- 1.) This is an oil based product so fleas do not have to bite in order to die. Which is excellent if you have a pet with flea allergies. 2.) One of only a handful of topical products for dogs that also treats intestinal worms. There are a few who do heartworms but not many that do intestinal. 3.) Effective against flea eggs, which means it will help end ALL stages of the flea cycle ending the infestation quicker and preventing it from spreading. 4.) Topical Medication so the risk of digestive upset is almost none. 5.) Also prevents heartworm 6.) Cost Effective this product is not over priced and with all that it provides is worth that money. All in all I would recommend this product, while I still prefer Revolution this product has passed my strict protocol for being put on my personal dogs. … more

We live in Florida where there are tons of fleas..helped alot. Love having multiple medications in one.

I've been using this on my Aussie Shepherd for over 2 years now, it works great and no fleas or worms. I see people on here saying it takes care if ticks, folks, it does not prevent ticks, read the box. In 2 years I have found 2 ticks on her, but I'm not adding anything else just checking her after our walks.

Since I adopted my dog from the shelter over four years ago, and put him on this brand of wormer+, he has not had a flea, tick, or worm of any kind at all, period. He was on a larger dose, but at vet request got him to loose a few pounds to get down to using this dose. He has been my service dog for all of this time now and we travel much, which is the reason why I choise this brand, it is easy to administer and with him being a vegan, all the wormer chewable's are meat based. It is a bit pricey, but buying in 6 months or a year through Chewy, the cost becomes more reasonable.
