Each pack contains 4 pipettes which have been developed specifically for dogs. If you have another animal that is suffering from a parasitic infestation then be sure to request the medication suitable for your animal.
This medicine should never be used in cats.
The product is also waterproof, so your dog can still have some light water exposure such as bathing and swimming without hindering the treatment. However, a lot of water exposure should still be avoided where possible so it's recommended to wash your dog before applying Advantix or at least 2 weeks after application.
How does Advantix work?
