Spelled it wrong. Sorry. You are on the bit this morning.:-) Now get out there and train those dogs. I bet you have a kennel - full already.:-)
Advantix
Advantage multi
Thanks Sharon. Actually, it was my mistake. When I keyed in Advantix Multi 55 I didn't get anything. Now that I entered Advantix 55, I got Advantix II but for dogs up to 55 lbs so I guess it's the same stuff I used last year.
A bit late jumping into this thread, my apologies - in case I missed it - what was the #1 recommended, and the best place to buy it?
I'm guessing Advantix Multi - but, unable to find it.
My spelling led you a stray.Sorry.
There is Advantage Multi - fleas,( NO tick killing), and a huge of variety of mites /worms only. Often used for mange.
Recommended by several was Advantix . Some use Advantix 2 and some use Advantix . Both kill fleas and ticks.
Advantix 2 is the newest product ( increased repellency for ticks
Advantix :available in Canada , different colored boxes depending on the weight of your dog
Google those two for more info.

Human or veterinary, I would be very cautious ordering any meds from the web!!! Especially, when it's way cheaper and you cannot trace it back to a reputable wholesaler, and that'll be tough for an individual if it's sold outside a licensed pharmacy (like many of non-prescription over the counter stuff).Quote:

well, I guess you can only hope to get a well-made counterfeit that won't do anything, including not to cause adverse events.
seriously, if you want to do your wallet a favour, do your dog a favour, too – don’t buy counterfeit meds from ebay or the like
Anyway, some thoughts (see other links) for those who purchase their meds via www:

I agree. I wouldn't buy drugs from ebay, web sites shipping from overseas etc.
Improper storage is very likely.
I buy from the US, mostly places like Drs Foster and Smith or other well known vet pharmacies.
I ship to the US and get it forwarded or pick it up.
