We recommend amazon for K9 Advantix, as they offer great deals on a range of flea control products.

K9 Advantix II Flea & Tick Control

Dealing with fleas and ticks is paramount for most pet owners, but there are more external pests that can be troublesome (or even downright dangerous in certain cases).  Advantix tackles the widest range of external parasites, of any leading spot on flea treatment.

Fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, biting flies and lice are all controlled using Advantix II.  And, whilst other flea control products deal with those pests in direct contact with our pets, Advantix II repels them too, so fewer ever come into contact with your dog.

Advantix II v Frontline Plus

You can see from the illustration below how much more K9 Advantix II will do for your pet dog:

Whether you need all this extra protection, will depend on where you live.  For many pet owners a more simple formula such as Frontline Plus for dogs will be more than adequate.

Like Frontline Plus, Advantix II does not simply kill the biting adult fleas that cause most of the concern.  Immature fleas are also targeted, using an insect development inhibitor which ensures juvenile fleas do not develop into the adults which breed and bite.

But if mosquitoes and biting flies are problematic in your region, or if they are known to harbour diseases such as Leishmaniasis.  Of course even if such insect borne diseases are unknown where you are, the presence of biting flies can be both stressful and problematic, since pain and infection are not uncommon when bitten regularly by these annoying parasites.

The ability of Advantix II to prevent flying insects from biting is high.  However, you should not consider its use as a protection against the heartworm parasite (passed from mosquitoes), since you can never ensure 100% of mosquito bites will be prevented.  An additional heartworm medicine such as Heartgard Plus should be part of your monthly parasite control regime.

K9 Advantix v Advantix II

As a previous user of K9 Advantix you may be wondering how Advantix II differs.  Well, it is simply the addition of the insect growth inhibitor that now prevents any flea eggs, larvae or pupae from being able to develop any further.  Since these juvenile insects will now die before they are able to become the adult fleas which bite and breed, you will bring future potential flea outbreaks under control, as well as dealing with the current problem.

Bayer are no longer marketing original Advantix in the US.  There will of course be a period of time when stocks of the original formula remain in circulation, but slowly it will become impossible to buy, as stores new stocks are replenished with new K9 Advantix II.

Fiproguard Plus

Produced by Sergeant’s Pet Care Products, Fiproguard Plus was released in May 2011.  For the best prices we suggest amazon who are now stocking a wide range of flea control products at extremely low prices.

Pronyl Plus

Rather confusingly, our second generic Frontline Plus product is also produced by Sergeant’s.  This time it is called Pronyl Plus.  And, you can check out the even better prices on this one here.

Pronyl Plus was released a little later than Fiproguard Plus, and both are pretty much interchangeable.

Fiproguard Plus v Pronyl Plus v Frontline Plus?

The big question then is which product do you buy?  Well, to be perfectly honest, as far as your pet is concerned it makes no difference at all.  Both generic Frontline Plus products, and the original have the same volume and quality of the key active ingredients.  So the results of using any one of them will be the same.

The reasoning behind the somewhat confusing decision to produce not one, but two generic flea treatments, is that they are targetting a slightly different audience, being sold in different types of stores.

You will usually see Fiproguard Plus in specialist pet supply stores whereas Pronyl Plus will be a more mass market product stocked in large grocery stores, drug stores and multi site retailers.  Perhaps this is why, for their launch we are seeing Pronyl Plus being offered at special offer prices around 40% less than the Fiproguard Plus!

Whilst discounts are being offered we strongly suggest choosing the generic Frontline Plus products.  After all they offer the same protection against biting insects, yet are surprisingly light on your pocket.  In the past we have been wary of generic Frontline Plus products since they simply haven’t offered a significant saving over the branded original.  But it now looks like Seargant’s are trying very hard to create a generic version of Frontline Plus that offers enough of a cost saving to make it an attractive purchase.

Generic Frontline Plus (both Fiproguard Plus and Pronyl Plus) are available in various pack sizes, for cats and dogs.  Be sure to order the product designed for the type and weight of animal to be treated.  You can find out more about how to use this topical flea treatment, and what it actually does at our Frontline Plus page.

An all natural formula with no known side effects it can prove very helpful for owners of “leaky” animals.

Though sadly, not able to alleviate all types of feline or canine urinary incontinence it can help in many instances.   Homeopet Leaks No More contains five active ingredients to deal with five different causes of urinary leakage, particularly common in older animals and following some surgery.

or read on to find out more about this useful pet supplement…

Currently prices are under half that being charged on the Homeopet own web-site, which surprised us to say the least.  Though we always aim to provide the best priced pet meds online we didn’t think we could find a deal quite that goo.

Leaks No More Ingredients

This formula is aimed at only certain types of urinary incontinence.  If your dog or cat’s problems are old-age or fear based, or following being spayed or neutered the product could be of great help.  For other forms of incontinence you may need a veterinary prescribed medication instead.  These tend to come with more chance of side effects so opting for a natural formula when suitable is recommended.  Leaks No More is designed to help strengthen the sphincter muscles that control urination.

Each of the five active ingredients targets a particular cause of the problem:

1. Old age related incontinence is dealt with by Alumina (oxide of aluminum).
2. To tackle frequent urination in small quantities Cantaris (Spanish fly) is included.
3. Incontinence that is caused by excitement, occurs as the animal falls asleep or has begun following surgery is tackled with Causticum.
4. For relatively large volumes of clear watery urine often associated with fear, Gelsemium Sempervirens (yellow jasmine) is included.
5. To deal with pets that leak during sleep Plantago Major (plantain) is added to the formula.

The makers suggest that the product may help animals that are experiencing incontinence due to other causes too, but in general the ingredients are only really designed to help with tightening the sphincter muscle that controls flow.  This tends to lose strength following surgery and as the animal ages.

Using Homeopet Leaks No More

The makers suggest that the best way to give this remedy is to place the drops directly into the mouth of your pet, so that it is absorbed quickly into the mucus membrane.   We have had great success with using  the drops in a far easier way.  Adding to a small bowl of milk is a much easier way to ensure the pet is not stressed and still gets their daily dose.

Again this is one of those medications where an initial relatively high dose is needed.  Then when improvements are seen you can reduce the dosage to a maintenance level.  In fact, if you do not reduce the dose you can see symptoms return.

The initial dosage (to be given three times a day) is as follows:

• animals from 1 to 20lbs – 5 drops
• animals from 21 to 60 lbs – 10 drops
• animals from 61 to 100 lbs – 15 drops
• animals 100 lbs – 20 drops
• animals weighing less than 1 lb should have 2 drops added to their drinking water each day.

Once a beneficial reaction is seen the frequency of dosing should be reduced to twice and eventually once daily.  If an improvement in condition is not followed by a reduction in the dosage a return of the symptoms may follow overuse of the drops.  This can be alleviated by stopping treatment for three days and then starting again.

Cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters and pot-bellied pigs can all be successfully treated using the dosing guide above.  Smaller animals such as mice, budgies and guinea pigs may all be treated with drops added to their water, read the pack instructions for full guidelines.

If you are adding the drops to food or water you may find the animal does not like the alcohol smell (this is used as a preservative).  You can try adding to milk instead or simply allow the alcohol odor to dissipate for 20 minutes before presenting the food or water to your pet.

Considerations

The product itself has not been shown to have any side effects or interactions with other medications.  Some animals are sensitive to homeopathic preparations.  These will show with one dose.  So give Leaks No More only one time on the first day so that you can spot any sensitivity and cease further treatment.  This type of sensitivity is to homeopathic remedies in general, and very rare in animals or humans.

Leaks No More Best Price

For reliable service and cheap Leaks No More just click the link to our current low priced vendor highlighted at the top for a variety of pack sizes at the lowest prices online.  At the time of publishing, the prices were less than half that being quoted by the Homeopet web-site itself, so you can see we have again found some great deals on all your cat and dog medications.

Glyco-Flex Soft Chews – Best Price

We always endeavour to find the best prices and most reliable sources for all the pet medicines feature.

At the moment the best deals we have found online are available from amazon.

Reliable service with shipment from the United States and great prices all make this the best place to buy Glyco-Flex today.

Using Canine Glyco-Flex Chews

It is always difficult to know just how effective some treatments are for joint problems in dogs.  Without them telling us, we have to watch closely to determine the causes of problems and the improvement caused by supplements.  Your vet will be in the best position to guage how suitable such products as Glyco-Flex of Phycox Soft Chews are likely to be.

As with many similar products it is usual to give a higher dosage initially for between four to six weeks.  Then when signs of stiffness are alleviated a lower maintenance dose is possible.   The number of chews given depends on the weight of your dog.  When more than one chew is required each day it is more effective to split the dosage in half, giving part in the morning, and then another in the evening.

The initial daily dosage is as follows:

• Dogs up to 30 lbs – 1 chew
• Dogs from 31 to 60 lbs – 2 chews
• Dogs from 61 to 100 lbs – 4 chews
• Dogs over 100 lbs – 5 chews

The maintance daily dose is:

• Dogs up to 30 lbs – 1 chew every other day
• Dogs from 31 to 60 lbs – 1 chew
• Dogs from 61 to 100 lbs – 2 chews
• Dogs over 100 lbs – 3 chews

The chews are chicken liver flavor so should be seen as a real treat by most dogs and not be difficult to ensure they take.

Glyco-Flex Canine – 3 Stage System

As a general guide Glyco-Flex I is the weakest formula, and III is the strongest.  You should get advice from your vet about which is the right formulation for your pet’s particular needs.

Stage I is indicated for puppies and dogs with an early need for some basic form of skeletal support.  This is most likely to be the case for those breeds that we know are likely to develop conditions such as hip dysplasia or osteoarthritis as they age.  The active ingredients included in each Glyco-flex I chew are:

• Perna Canaliculus (GlycOmega brand Green Lipped Mussel)  - 300 mg
• Glucosamine HCI (Shrimp and Crab)  - 250 mg
• N,N-Dimethylglycine HCl (DMG)  - 50 mg

Stage II is indicated for dogs with a more moderate need for joint support.  These may be working or sporting animals, breeds with a predisposition for joint problems and following orthopedic surgery.  The active ingredients in each Glyco-flex II chew are:

• Glucosamine HCI (Shrimp and Crab)  - 375 mg
• Perna Canaliculus (GlycOmega brand Green Lipped Mussel)  - 300 mg
• Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)  - 250 mg
• N,N-Dimethylglycine HCl (DMG)  - 50 mg
• Manganese  (as Mn Proteinate) –   5 mg

Stage III is used more usually in elderly or working dogs with a more pressing need for joint support due to injury, osteoarthritis or following orthopedic surgery.  The active ingredients in each Glyco-flex III soft chew are as follows:

• Glucosamine HCI (Shrimp and Crab)  - 500 mg
• Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)  - 500 mg
• Perna Canaliculus (GlycOmega brand Green Lipped Mussel)  - 300 mg
• N,N-Dimethylglycine HCl (DMG)  - 50 mg
• Manganese  (as Mn Proteinate) –   5 mg
• dl-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) – 25 IU
• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) – 12 mg
• Grape Seed Extract  - 2.5 mg
• L-Glutathione  1 mg
• Selenium (as Sodium Selenite)  0.001 mg

Canine Glyco-Flex to Support Joint Health

The range of amino acids, fatty acids, glucosamine, vitamins and minerals have been developed by Vetri-Science to help improve overall joint health.  The building blocks of cartilage itself are included, along with essential minerals to help promote connective tissue growth.  Minerals to promote strong bones and increase the enzyme production that actually helps joints thrive are all believed to be beneficial in improving mobility and reducing stiffness in the joints.

Glyco-Flex Range

The Glyco-Flex range includes the three stage system using either tablets and chews for dogs, a two stage system using either chewable tablets or bite sized chews for cats and a two stage system using powder or pellets for horses.  Glyco-Flex soft chews for dogs are the most popular product in the range as they can ward off joint problems in canines we suspect will suffer problems in the future.

Currently the best deals we have found are for Greenies for sale here

Whilst most of us know that in theory regular brushing of our pets teeth would be a great idea, few of us manage the task.  That’s why so many pet owners choose oral hygiene chews that help remove plaque and tartar in a way that is pleasant for both pet and owner.

Greenies Chews

Greenies come in various sizes dependant on the size of animal to be treated.  It is important to buy the correct pack to allow your dog or cat to enjoy their treat safely and effectively.

Each chew is fairly low in calories, and only one per day is needed to keep oral health at its best.  But like any additional tit-bit being given you should of course adjust the food intake to make room for these extra treats.  Obesity in pets is a growing concern and one that is totally down to us, the owners to guard against if we want our pets to remain happy and healthy for the longest time possible.

Greenies for Dogs

Like CET Enzymotic dental chews, Greenies are chewy treats that use the action of chewing and natural abrasion to remove plaque and tartar from your pets teeth.  Unlike CET chews they do not have an additional enzyme formula to help deal with bacteria and reduce future plaque build up though.  But they do contain additional minerals and vitamins useful for all round good health and they are cheaper to buy.

The list of ingredients in canine Greenies is pretty long;

Gelatin, Wheat Protein Isolate, Glycerin, Soy Protein Isolate, Sodium Caseinate, Natural Poultry Flavor, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Vegetable Oil (Preserved with Propyl Gallate), Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Lecithin, Ground Flaxseed, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Monostearate, Monoglycerides of Edible Fatty Acids, Choline Chloride, Potassium Sorbate (A Preservative), Minerals (Magnesium Oxide, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Maganese Sulfate, Potassium Iodide and more).

Note though that wheat is included which is occasionally a trigger for allergies in a few dogs.

Greenies for Cats

Greenies are a corn based dental chew for cats, supplied in four flavors (beef, tuna, salmon or fish) so they are acceptable to our fussier feline friends.  Again they do need to be chewed up into small bits to be effective and ensure no large hard parts are swallowed.  If your cat is not a greedy or fast eater these can be a simple and proven way to improve their oral hygiene.

Greenies Considerations

Greenies for dogs are useful for maintaining good oral health in canines over 5 lbs in weight, and six months of age.  They should not be given to extremely small or young animals.

They are designed to be chewed up into small bits that are easy to swallow and digest.  The nature of these types of dental chews is that stay hard for some time (that is how they help remove plaque by abrasion when being chewed).  This is fine for those dogs that break them apart before swallowing, but if your pet is one of those that tries to swallow everything whole keep an eye on them, as these may not be the ideal way to deal with their oral hygiene needs.  Something like Proden Plaquoff that is sprinkled onto meals might be more suitable.

The chews are 96% digestible so only a tiny part is too hard to be absorbed by the gut.  For dogs that break them into smaller parts this is great.  Indeed a little roughage is great for anal gland health and worm prevention (as any advocate of the raw meaty bone diet will no doubt tell you).

Greenies Best Deals

Greenies at your local store can prove expensive.  Check out the link at the top for the cheap Greenies with the best priced source we have found online for the entire Greenies dental chew range for both dogs and cats.
