Winterpaws Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Has anyone ever had a dog have a reaction to Advantix? We treated all 3 of ours last night and one of my dogs is really our of sorts today and his skin seems to be irritating him? There are no fleas on him and we only gave them the treatment as there have been tick cases in the area. He keeps jumping up and rushing to me and seems annoyed by something This dog has also had horrific skin over summer and we had been at a loss to work out why. I am now wondering if the Advantix could have been the issue? His skin is almost back to normal and prior to last night his previous treatment would have been early March? I've never heard of reactions before and it never even crossed my mind until I started watching him this morning..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aziah Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Yes - had one bitch have a dreadful reaction and the hair fell out in a neat line most of the way down her back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capanash Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 We had a Standard Poodle have a bad local reaction, looked like the skin had been burnt. Never had any problems with frontline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedsur Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I've also had reactions to Advantix with a couple of my shelties who don't have any other allergies. I think it's just too strong for some skins. I use frontline if I have to for ticks or comfortis for fleas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest donatella Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Is it a small breed? They seem to be more common with reactions to Advantix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiquito Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 We had a reaction. Our dog was very itchy,very nervous and wouldn't stay still right after application. I could see he was very uncomfortable so I decided to washed it off with dish detergent and called the manufacturer to see what was their opinion and we were advised not to use it anymore on this dog.

dotdashdot Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I think there are 3 possible causes 1. the product has a funny feeling to the dog 2. the product which makes the fleas go into a biting frenzy before dying is making some fleas bite (that you can't see) 3. the dog is actually having a reaction. Reactions to Advantix and Comfortis are quite common, I hear about it a lot as we sell the products at my work. Kinda sucks when we live in one of the worst spots for paralysis ticks in all of Australia and most people hate to use Frontline here because they haven't had success in the past!

ESCS Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 My tibbie had a reaction too (looked like he had been burnt and he was in pain). He was fine on Frontline Plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
