I have a female Rottweiler and I gave her BioSpot all summer with no problems. Just recently I took her to the groomers because I thought she had mud caked on her hair. Here it was scabbing to the point of her hair falling out and exposing her skin. Her skin was just peeled off looking so sore and painful. I was so upset I just couldn't figure out what it could be. Then I thought about how I put the flea treatment on her and well each empty patch of hair is in the same path I administered the BioSpot. I plan on taking her to the vet on Monday with my concerns but after reading all these complaints I strongly agree that my sweet Rottweiler is suffering due to the flea treatments of BioSpot.

My 6 year old boxer who has the playful attitude of a 2-3 year old has been acting sluggish and will no longer run back to the house after a walk. He has been acting lethargic and vomiting occasionally too. I brought him to the Vet today 1/27/05 and the Vet scolded me for using K-9 Advantix telling me that it was 4 times more toxic than necessary to repel fleas, ticks and mosquitoes from dogs... He attributed my Boxer's behavior to the use of K-9 Advantix and advised me to bathe him a.s.a.p. and to stop using it right way. I had NO idea. Why is this stuff still on the market?!?!?!?

My Vet used to sell K-9 Advantix but after seeing the adverse reaction in so many animals he has stopped and actually refuses to sell it even on request. I did not purchase it from his office, I purchased it on-line at petvetdirect.com. Thank you so much for all of the helpful information. I will let you know what happened!
