Important Safety Information Regarding Advantix
At Colonial Optical LLC, we prioritize the health and safety of your entire family, including your four-legged companions. We have received inquiries regarding the use of topical flea and tick preventatives like Advantix.
Veterinary Consultation is Key
While we specialize in human optometry, we often provide information to our Kirkland community about general safety. Please be advised that Advantix (containing permethrin) is highly toxic to cats. Even simple contact with a dog recently treated with this product can be fatal to feline members of your household.
Safe Practices
- Always consult your veterinarian before applying any topical flea or tick control.
- Keep treated dogs separated from cats until the product has completely dried (usually 24 hours).
- Monitor your pets for signs of sensitivity or adverse reactions immediately after application.
For specific medical concerns regarding your pet, please contact your local Kirkland veterinary clinic immediately. If you have questions about your own vision health or to schedule an appointment with our professional staff, please contact us at (425) 272-1188.
