Advantix Spot-On for Dogs (Green) is a monthly topical flea and tick treatment formulated for puppies and small dogs under 4kg, colour-coded green on the Australian Advantix range. Sold as a 3-pack of applicators, it's the smallest dose in the Advantix line, making it suitable for toy breeds, small dogs and puppies at appropriate ages.

The formula contains two proven active ingredients — imidacloprid and permethrin — to kill and repel fleas, ticks and biting insects. It kills fleas on contact within an hour, kills flea larvae in the pet's surroundings, reduces flea allergy dermatitis, kills and repels paralysis ticks for up to two weeks, also handles brown dog and bush ticks, and repels mosquitoes and sandflies. The water-resistant formulation keeps working through swimming and bathing once dry. Always confirm puppy age eligibility with the label before use. **Important: Advantix is for dogs only — permethrin is highly toxic to cats.**

Toy breeds and puppies need a size-appropriate parasite treatment — giving a larger-dog dose to a small dog isn't safe. The green pack is specifically dosed for under-4kg dogs, making it the correct choice for chihuahuas, toy poodles, small terriers and similar breeds that would be overdosed by larger Advantix sizes.
