Flea and Tick Medicine

by Debbie
(Chesapeake,Va.)

Is K9 Advantix safe for my Aussie? I have heard that certain medicines are poison for them and I was wondering if this was one of them. What would be a good alternative?

Flea and tick meds safe for aussies
by: Ellen

We use Frontline Plus. It's fine for the dogs and there is no problem. There are many meds that are toxic. Have your dog tested for MDR1 gene.

The best solution is to ask a dog expert about K9 Advantix and to find out if it is safe to use or not.
Flea/Tic medication for Aussies

I agree you should work with your vet, but not all vets are aware of Aussies sensitivities to Ivermectin.

Please have your dogs tested for the MDR 1 gene.
you can go online and look up this and get a list of drugs Aussies can be sensitive to,of course NO ivermectin ever!!!

My MDR1 dog had paralysis from Frontline
by: Wendy

I thought Frontline was wonderful until my dog at age 8 months had a paralysis of her hind leg from it. Just a note, if you use flea preventatives consider that they are effective against fleas for 90 days yet tell you to reapply every 30 days.

With that, I'm eager to find out if anyone with an MDR1 positive dog has found a safe alternative, I've tried herbal sprays, herbal drops, flea combe, shampoos, Program, etc. My poor little girl is allergic to fleas and suffering.
