Advantage Flea Control for Dogs and Cats

When applied to your pet in the correct dosage 98-100% of the FLEAS on your pet will be killed within 12 hours. Fleas that jump back on your pet will be killed within 2 hours. This protection will continue for at least 4 weeks. Reapplication at monthly intervals is necessary to provide continued flea control. 

Advantage flea control is applied to your pet on the midline of the back, underneath the hair, on the surface of the skin .  Please be sure to read all enclosed directions before applying the product.

It is all right to give your pet one bath between treatments, allow them to swim, or be exposed to sunlight without adversely affecting the effectiveness of Advantage flea control. If you feel you need to retreat your dog due to more frequent bathing, do not apply more than once weekly. Do not use any insecticides on your pet while you are using Advantage flea control. 

If your pet is exposed to water more than the recommended amount of times for Advantage flea control, please consider Frontline flea and tick control as an alternative.

Though not absolutely necessary, a very effective adjunct treatment for your home is Flea Busters Rx for Fleas. We have found that these two products used together will provide complete flea control in a very short period of time.

Advantage for dogs is not effective in tick control, so you must use another product. The most effective product we have found for this is the Preventic Collars for dogs which kills ticks for up to three months after application. The two are quite safe when used together.

Alternatively, K9 Advantix for Dogs is produced by Bayer and is effective against fleas and ticks.
