I wouldn't touch advantix. It uses moxidectin and people have had trouble measuring an accurate dose of moxidectin on mini ponies. There have been many deaths. I wouldn't try dosing it on something even smaller using the broad ranges that exist. Maybe if I was withdrawing an exact amount based on the dogs exact weight rather than a range but I'd rather just avoid it. The safety range is too narrow and the side effects are too high. We use revolution and then use a spray when taking them hiking. Same as putting bug spray on people every time you go out. We also got them vaccinated against lyme disease.
