Is it safe to switch my dog from NexGard to K9 Advantix II now?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 10 months and 4 days old | 18.8 lbs

Pepe head Nex Guard on May 22. Can I go ahead and put on the K9 Advantix II? If you see any of my previous questions I am switching from Nex Guard K9 Advantix II because the ticks ride him into the house and before they attach fall off and get on the next person or visiting animal that comes along. NexGuard does not repel ticks.

Yes, it's you can go ahead and switch now. The two products have different active ingredients (which is the point for your switch) and even if they didn't, you wouldn't overdose Pepe with doses two weeks apart, so you're good to go! I hope it helps! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach
