Default Advantix: Divided Doses?

When I phoned the vets' offices, checking prices for Frontline Plus, I
learned that some vets have totally switched to Advantix. So it must be
good.

Can you divide the doses of Advantix, like you could for Frontline Plus?

The switch to Advantix has primarily been made because it repells
mosquitoes... West Nile Virus, Eastern Equine Enchepahlitis (which dogs
can get)....

Why would you divide the dose and reduce effectiveness? First time I've
heard of that... shrug

It can be cheaper to buy the largest dose, & divide it down.

If you have two 75 pound dogs, & divide a dose for 150 pound, then you
can save some money.

I have seven large dogs.

Susan, Su_Texas my opinions

PS Actually, I'll divide the dose down even further, in order to use
the least amount that is effective, ... such as using one 150 pound dose
to treat three or four 75 pound dogs.

If I don't see fleas or mosquitoes biting them, then they're probably
OK.

Of course, there's always some risk in anything you choose to do.
