Here’s the irony: the carrier ingredients in Advion are often more tempting to pets than the poison itself. The gel has a sweet, syrupy base—like roach candy. And dogs? They have the palate of a toddler at a birthday party. I once had a friend whose labrador ate an entire Advion bait station. The dog threw up a little, but after a call to poison control (and a lot of side-eye from the vet), he was fine.
But let’s not sugarcoat it—pun intended. If your pet is a small dog, a cat, or a nibbler (looking at you, rabbits), the risk goes up. Cats are especially sensitive to some insecticides because their livers process toxins differently. Advion is not labeled for use around cats or fish, so if you have a fluffy predator who licks everything, you’ll want to be extra careful. My cat Mochi? She gave the gel a single sniff and walked away, probably offended it wasn’t tuna-flavored.
