Flea & Tick Treatment for Dogs

Wags Advance^® for Dogs

• What’s in it?

  Our Wags Advance® for Dogs topical product is produced in the USA and contains the same active ingredients found in Bayer’s K9 Advantix® II for Dogs: Imidacloprid, Permethrin, and Pyriproxyfen. All PetFriendly products are EPA-approved safe and effective — featuring the same vet-quality ingredients, at 20-40% less than the Big Brands.

  
  

• What does it do?

  Wags Advance® for Dogs:

  • Rapidly kills and repels ticks, mosquitoes, lice, and — critically — all three life-cycle stages of biting fleas (eggs, larvae, adults). 

  • Kills new fleas within 2 hours and existing fleas within 12 hours.

  • Kills and repels all stages of deer ticks, which may transmit Lyme disease.

  • May reduce the incidence of flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), a hypersensitivity skin disorder that may be induced by the feeding activity of fleas.

• Does it require a prescription?

  Nope! Wags Advance® for Dogs is delivered straight to your door without a prescription or trip to the store.

• How much does it cost? Is delivery free?

  Wags Advance® for Dogs starts at just $12/month per dog. Multi-pet pricing is available for households of 2 pets or more. Plus shipping is free and bonus treats are included in every box.

• How long does it last?

  One application of Wags Advance® for Dogs is effective for 30 days. We deliver your next month’s shipment on application day!

• Is it waterproof? What about bathing?

  Wags Advance® for Dogs is waterproof but requires the natural oils in your dog’s fur and skin to properly distribute the active ingredients. We recommend avoiding bathing or swimming 48 hours before and after treatment. If you bathe your dog often, we recommend using a mild shampoo.

• How do I apply?

  Applying Wags Advance® for Dogs is as easy as 1, 2, 3! Follow the full instructions.

• How is it dosed?

  Wags Advance® for Dogs is EPA-approved safe and effective for dogs weighing at least 4 pounds, dosed according to size:

  • Small Dog: 4 to 10 pounds

  • Medium Dog: 11 to 20 pounds

  • Large Dog: 21 to 55 pounds

  • Extra Large Dog: 56+ pounds

• How old does my pup need to be?

  Your pup should be at least 7 weeks old and at least 4 pounds before using Wags Advance® for Dogs.

• Is it safe for cats?

  No! Wags Advance® for Dogs can be fatal for cats. Keep your cats away from treated dogs for 24 hours after treatment. Feline parents: PetFriendly’s Paws Plus® for Cats is for you!

• Can I use other flea and tick treatments (collar, shampoo, etc.) in combination?

  We recommend you pick one flea and tick treatment to use exclusively. If you’ve already applied a flea and tick shampoo, but want to switch to Wags Advance® for Dogs, contact our friendly support team for advice. Email us at goodbyefleas@petfriendlybox.com.

• Why don’t you offer oral flea and tick treatments?

  We proudly offer topical (AKA spot-on, squeeze-on) — rather than oral — treatment for three reasons:

  1. Oral treatments reside in your dog’s bloodstream, requiring the pest to bite before working. That bite can lead to other not fun problems for your pet, such as Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD).

  2. The FDA has connected oral treatments to potential neurological side effects. PetFriendly’s Wags Advance® for Dogs is EPA-approved safe and effective, with no neurological side-effect concerns. If you choose to use oral treatments, please consult your veterinarian about potential risks.

  3. Oral treatments require a prescription and are more expensive. PetFriendly’s Wags Advance® for Dogs costs 20-40% less than the Big Brands, in addition to saving the cost and time of a vet visit.
