Pain Relief


The newest form of pet pain relief is an epidermal patch containing fentanyl, a very effective narcotic pain reliever. This patch functions similarly to the better-known nicotine patches used to help people quit smoking. When applied to shaved skin, the patch provides steady pain relief for three to five days. Patches can be applied before surgery or other painful procedures to help prevent the development of permanent pain tracts, to smooth the postoperative period and to hasten recovery.

Accidental ingestion of a patch can be fatal, however, so owners must be careful to prevent ingestion by a child or another pet. The patient's patch can be placed in a location that is inaccessible to the pet or covered with a secure bandage.

For DOGS only





K9 AdvantixTM doesn’t just kill these bloodthirsty parasites, it helps keep all three from biting and spreading disease. It’s exactly the kind of protection you’d expect from the makers of Advantage® flea control.

K9 Advantix has been registered for use in all states, except California where registration is pending. This means you can now get the triple protection of K9 Advantix from a licensed, practicing veterinarian in your area. If you are a resident of California, check back at K9advantix.com for availability in your state.

DO NOT USE ON CATS
Due to their unique physiology and inability to metabolize certain compounds, this product must not be used on cats. If applied to a cat, or ingested by a cat, contact your veterinarian immediately. For medical emergencies, call 1-877-258-2280.

K9 AdvantixTM is a once-a-month topical tick, mosquito and flea treatment for dogs and puppies 7 weeks of age and older. It contains imidacloprid and permethrin. It is available in 4 dosage sizes: 10 lbs. and under, 11-20 lbs., 21-55 lbs., and dogs weighing over 55 pounds. It is available in both 4 packs and 6 packs.

Nothing else offers this kind of triple protection against biting.  K9 AdvantixTM doesn’t just kill these bloodthirsty parasites, it helps keep all three from biting and spreading disease. It’s exactly the kind of protection you’d expect from the makers of Advantage® flea control.

A synergistic effect that enhances efficacy.
K9 AdvantixTM is a unique combination of two proven ingredients that work synergistically against parasites. The mode of action of imidacloprid complements the activity of permethrin. Each affects parasite nerve cells at different sites. When combined, the neurotoxic effect against parasites is enhanced. This leads to rapid paralysis and death of the parasites.  New K9 Advantix is gentle enough for puppies 7 weeks of age or older and dogs of any size. Just apply topically once a month to protect dogs from the problems of biting ticks, mosquitoes and fleas.

Keeps working after swimming or bathing.
K9 Advantix remains effective after swimming or bathing. After repeated swims, it kills 97.9-100% of ticks and 92.5-100% of fleas. After bathing, it kills 97.4-100% of ticks and fleas.4 You can recommend it with confidence for dogs who like water.

FRONTLINE TOP SPOT provides convenient and effective flea and tick control for dogs and puppies. FRONTLINE Brand products are the #1 choice of veterinarians!
  
  • Fast-acting 
  • Long-lasting
  • Waterproof
  • Prevents re-infestations
  • Convenient to use
  • Controls fleas which may cause flea allergy dermatitis
  • Kills all stages of 4 major ticks, including those that may carry Lyme disease
When you apply FRONTLINE TOP SPOT to your dog, it spreads through a unique process called "translocation" and is stored in the natural oils lying just beneath the coat of your dog. This provides your dog with protection against fleas and ticks for a month - even after frequent bathing (or as many as your dog will sit still for!). In fact, your dog can romp in the rain, splash in the surf and get soaked till their hearts content without losing protection against fleas and ticks.

Unlike some other products which work only after fleas or ticks have bitten your dog, FRONTLINE TOP SPOT kills them shortly after contact. Your dog won't need separate flea and tick control products because FRONTLINE Top Spot gets the whole job done all by itself. Yet it's gentle enough to be used on puppies 8 weeks and older.



HEARTGARD Plus is the #1 choice of veterinarians for heartworm disease prevention!

Heartworm Disease is 100% preventable with HEARTGARD Plus! All you have to do to protect your dog from the threat of heartworm disease is to give HEARTGARD Plus once a month and use as otherwise directed. Only HEARTGARD chewables and HEARTGARD plus come in a real-beef chewable that dogs love, and you'll enjoy giving it too! HEARTGARD Plus also treats and controls roundworms and more species of hookworms than any other product of its kind.




The fleas that you see on your pet are in the adult stage. What you don't see are the thousands of eggs a single adult flea can produce.  An adult female flea can lay up to 2,000 eggs in her lifetime. With CAPSTAR™, almost all your dog's adult fleas will be gone within four hours.

A single dose of Capstar (nitenpyram) should kill the adult fleas on your pet. If your pet gets reinfested with fleas, you can safely give another dose as often as once per day. To administer CAPSTAR tablets, place the pill directly in your pet's mouth, or hide it in food. If you choose to hide the tablet in food, watch closely to make sure your pet swallows the pill. If you are not sure that your pet swallowed the pill, it is safe to administer a second pill.

All Novartis flea and heartworm products are backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with CAPSTAR, please call our toll-free Guarantee Hotline at 1-888-327-9745. Novartis will solve the problem, replace the product, or refund the full purchase price.

The fleas on your cat are in the adult stage. An adult female flea, living on a pet, can lay up to 2,000 eggs in her lifetime.
 

PROGRAM® Flavor Tabs® and PROGRAM Suspension both prevent flea eggs and larvae from developing. This breaks the flea life cycle at its base, and effectively controls the flea population.
