Customer Review: Does not work on ticks
K9 Advantix does not kill or repel ticks. I have never written a review before for any product, however I have such a negative opinion of this product that I feel compelled to write the review. I can't comment on whether this product works for fleas, as my dog has never had fleas. However after visiting Cape Cod two times this summer, my dog has returned with ticks both times. The last time, after visiting Cape Cod for 3 days, we found 10 live ticks attached to my dog. Yes, we are following the instructions, and no, we do not bathe our dog within 48 hours of applying the product. In fact, we only bathe our dog once per month and actually have been applying this product every 3-4 weeks just to be safe. My only answer to those reviewers who write their dog has never had ticks is that maybe their dogs do not live in an area with many ticks. My dog has never had ticks either, until we visited a place with many ticks, which is when we discovered that K9 Advantix just does not work on ticks, period.
