Bought Advantage for dogs over 55 lbs and I received an Advantage for smaller dogs. Does not do well for an 80 lb Boxer.

I was searcing under K9 Advantix and somehow ended up here. No wonder the price was so low – this is Advantage – Advantix’s poor cousin. nOT happy but stuck ’cause the dog is overdue for flea treatment.

The Advantage works great on my dogs, however if I knew Amazon’s free shipping meant that we would have to wait 3 weeks to receive it, I would have ordered this product from another vendor. As explained by Amazon, they save with their shipping carrier by shipping bulk orders out on crates, which means your item being shipped “Free” via the Super Saver option can take on average 3 or a little more weeks to be delivered depending on how quickly Amazon fill’s up a crate in your region.
An Amazon customer service rep offered to expedite my shipping to their 3-day option for an additional $5.00 when the order was already going to be shipping in 3 days, which was the absolute latest date they were allowed to hold my order under their free shipping policy, so why would I want to pay five more dollars! I expected more from Amazon on this one, rather than insulting my intelligence.

All of you people that are reviewing, should state where you live, because in South Florida, advantage does NOT work AT ALL. It is very expensive and a total waste of money. False advertising.
I put it on my dog and her flea volume decreased to about 25% for about a week. Then she was loaded again. The box says it lasts for a month. Not true. I also have a Frontline spray. That is a laugh too. Doesn’t work at all. Now I’m online trying to research this because this flea thing is a nightmare. My dog HATES baths and if she is loaded I have to bathe her every day. Plus I have to bath her for like a half hour just to drown the dang things. Flea collars and flea shampoos are useless and don’t work at all.
So, I don’t know where you people live who have weak fleas, but here in the Florida Keys, apparently we have super fleas that are immumne to everything. Its a nightmare.
And for the record, I followed the directions and used it properly. And no I did not bathe her after using the advantage… until a week went by and the advantage had oviously worn off completely since she was loaded again. So that has nothing to do with it. It just doesn’t work.
Note: ticks are not a problem and are not immune.

I’ll not buy Advantage again; had I spent more for Advantix my dogs wouldn’t have had the trouble they did. But Frontline works on both fleas and ticks and doesn’t cost much more than this did… and it’s what I’ve used in the past. My dogs both developed ear infections from having ticks crawl deep into their ears. The vet visit and medications, including two tick collars to pick up where the Advantage left off, was around $200. But I did save $10 by buying Advantage rather than Frontline!!! (How entirely stupid of me!)
