Is it safe to use Revolution and K9 Advantix together on my dog?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Female | spayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 48 lbs

Can we use revolution and k9 advantix together? My dog gets sick from any heart worm treatment by mouth but I don't think she is getting good flea control with revolution. I would rather not use a collar.

Hi yes you can use both treatments on Daphne but i suggest separating the application by two weeks. You can also consider using a product like Proheart6 - an injectable heartworm prevention given at the vet hospital that lasts for 6mths. I find that revolution works well for fleas, but doesn't cover all types of ticks. Hope this helps!

    Its great that you want to make sure that Daphne has the best parasite control. You can use both products together but I would recommend separating them by two weeks. That said, Revolution is very good for flea control but it doesn't protect against all types of ticks. If ticks are a concern in your area, it may be worth using advantix with a different heartworm prevention- I use proheart6 on my dog which is an injection given at the vet office and it lasts for 6mths.
