Advantage Multi Topical Solution for Dogs, 55.1-88 lbs, (Blue Box), 6 Doses (6-mos. supply)

My rescue GSD, Ace, was positive for heart worms when he was found as a stray, and this is the medication the vet gave him once he finished treatments and tested negative (yay!). I love that this also treats/prevents ticks & fleas without having to give multiple medications. He's done so well on this that I refuse to try anything different. Also, I originally ordered this somewhere else online (they had a better deal) but they couldn't confirm my vet information and just canceled my order without even telling me why or giving me a chance to call the vet! This was out of stock at Chewy for a few weeks, but as soon as I saw it was back in stock I jumped on it. Chewy also had problems verifying my vet information, but quickly notified me to contact the vet while placing this item on hold. Vet was able to call Chewy and verify information within 24 hours, and the item was shipped the next day! So happy with customer service here, they are the BEST! Even with the delay this item is scheduled to be delivered only 2 days later than the rest of my order was! I am happy and so is Ace.

I purchased a tube of this from my veterinarian for a stray dog we acquired who had a pretty nasty case of fleas. We wanted a non-oral product that killed fleas and flea eggs. As we do not have a flea issues in my home and wanted something that would prevent one from developing. I generally use Revolution, but because of the introduction of newer products my vet no longer carries it in house and the only way to get it is online. We needed something that day. So I opted for this. I’ll start with the negatives- 1.)This products flea portion works with the skin oils, hence the “fleas don’t have to bite to be effected” claim they make. However, because of this the product is really greasy upon application and can take upwards of 24 hours to dry/spread. 2.) Because of how greasy it is, you have to be careful about petting your dog or having your dog touch you until the product dries. I made the error of applying it before leaving the clinic and had it all over my hands by the time we got home as I sat in the back seat with her. 3.) Because again of the dry time you’ll need to be careful about how your dog interacts with other animals. Certain levels of this product ingested or rubbed off can be toxic to other dogs, cats, or other species. So you’ll have to prevent interaction until drying. Positives- 1.) This is an oil based product so fleas do not have to bite in order to die. Which is excellent if you have a pet with flea allergies. 2.) One of only a handful of topical products for dogs that also treats intestinal worms. There are a few who do heartworms but not many that do intestinal. 3.) Effective against flea eggs, which means it will help end ALL stages of the flea cycle ending the infestation quicker and preventing it from spreading. 4.) Topical Medication so the risk of digestive upset is almost none. 5.) Also prevents heartworm 6.) Cost Effective this product is not over priced and with all that it provides is worth that money. All in all I would recommend this product, while I still prefer Revolution this product has passed my strict protocol for being put on my personal dogs.

As other reviews have mentioned, our greyhound came from Florida. Her stool samples kept coming positive for hookworms, although it didn’t really seem to be having a negative affect on her (no weight loss, runny poop, etc). We tried several courses of treatment and dewormers, and nothing worked for months. Once she got on advantage multi, the worms went away. I’m so thankful that our veterinarian did some research and found a tip to use this product.

Thank you Chewy pharmacy for helping me find the medication combination necessary to cope with the resistant hookworms present in greyhounds being adopted from the closing tracks in Florida. I think you will find more and more customers with this problem who will be appreciative of you well stocked supplies and superior customer service.
