Is Advantage Multi for Dogs waterproof?

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.

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.

Greyt for stubborn hookworms in greyhounds
By Jamie on Oct 9, 2020
As other reviews have mentioned, our greyhound came from Florida. Her stool samples kept coming positive for hookworms, although it didn’t really seem to be having a negative affect on her (no weight loss, runny poop, etc). We tried several courses of treatment and dewormers, and nothing worked for months. Once she got on advantage multi, the worms went away. I’m so thankful that our veterinarian did some research and found a tip to use this product.

IT'S SO EASY!
By PaulaD on Jul 7, 2020
Our greyhound came to us from Florida where a particularly nasty hook worm has developed. The GPA gave us the information regarding the medication needed to treat it. Advantage Multi is one of the versions. On the good side, this topical medication protects our dogs from heart worms, fleas, ticks, and hook and pin worms. It's applied between the shoulders at the base of the neck. I was a little concerned because it looked rather oily. Yuck. But it was totally absorbed by the next morning. WOW! It's a little expensive to buy but I believe it's economical to use. And it's one medication rather than several to cover the concerns. Too many medications always concerns me.

I have concerns
By DogStuff on May 10, 2020
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

Always had an issue getting my smart Golden to take the tablet... this is so much easier to apply

Effective but pricey
By Anjie on Apr 2, 2020
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.

Favorite product as a vet tech....
By litterbox on Feb 12, 2020
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.

Great Product
By Leslie on Feb 11, 2020
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.
