As far as I'm concerned, K9 Advantix is the best flea and tick product on the market. I purchase it from the veterinarian and pay $70 for the 4 month supply, or $95 for the 6 month supply. It is time to buy more, but I am broke right now. Without K9 Advantix, this summer could be a long miserable time. That is why I decided to check around and see if I could find a solution. The online discount pet supply retailers are selling it at $56.99 for the 4 month supply and $79.99 for the 6month supply. That is a great savings, but I was hoping for more...
What I discovered will rock your world!!! O.K., maybe it's not that amazing, but it is still good information. On Ebay, there are auctions selling 4 month supplies of K9 Advantix for under $20, and that price includes shipping. I won't recommend any particular seller, but you will find them by going to Ebay and search under "K9 Advantix". How do they do it? By not following the manufacturers directions, and teaching others how to not follow directions as well.
First of all, it helps to understand K9 Advantix supplies are sold by weight of your dog. You can buy it for dogs between 1-10 lbs., 11-20 lbs., 21-55 lbs., and over 55 lbs. The K9 Advantix is the same mixture, it is just that you get a different dosage amount for different weights of dogs. For example, a dog weighing 11-20 lbs. may have 1 ml. in a dose, versus a dog over 55 lbs. may have 4 mls. in a dose. The price between a 4 month supply for a 10 lb. dog is almost the same, as for a dog that weighs over 55 lbs. In a 4 month supply for a big dog you may get 16 ml. of K9 Advantix, but for an 11 lb. dog you may get 4 ml. of K9 Advantix. Yet, the price is almost the same!
The trick of the Ebay sellers, is to sell you K9 Advantix along with a kit and directions to measure it to the right quantity for the weight of your dog. In the kit you receive directions, a syringe for measuring, and a glass vial to store the K9Advantix in. This is against the manufacturers directions, but can save a lot of money. Your dog should get the same benefits and you pay 25% of the normal price. It is not without risk. If you measure incorrectly, you could hurt or even kill your dog. That is probably why K9 Advantix has it in the pre-measured doses, they just know that some doofus is going to come along and give their dog twice the amount.
That is the sneaky K9 Advantix trick. I can't recommend it. I have to admit though, I'm going to try it. If I am still posting here two weeks from now, you will know it was a success.
