Hello all,

Somewhere I read K9 Advantix II is poisonous to cats?  Anyone else hear or read this?  We need to get flea/tick stuff for our dog and are still looking to get a cat.  Thanks!

Advantix II contains permethrin. This is absolutely safe for dogs, but toxic to cats (both when ingested and when absorbed through the skin).

As you don't currently have a cat, there shouldn't be a problem with using it, but you might want to look into alternatives (such as Revolution, Advantage or Frontline) for the future.
