I have a new kitten. Can I still use Advantix on my dogs safely?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 1 year and 5 months old | 60 lbs

Hi I just got a kitten and am wondering if it's still safe to use our monthly treatment of advantix on our three dogs. We will be sure to keep the kitten away and make sure the kitten doesn't lick the dogs. If we take these procautions can we use it still?

If you take all the precautions it should be fine. The product must be COMPLETELY dry on the dogs before the cat comes into contact with them and you need to be sure to get rid of the packaging so the cat cannot come in to contact with that either.
