FAQs
How often should I use Advantage?
It is recommended that you apply Advantage to your dog once a month all year round to achieve protection from fleas.
Can I use Advantage to treat louse infestations?
Yes, Advantage for dogs can be used to treat biting lice in addition to fleas. You should book a check-up with your vet 30 days after treatment, as some dogs may need a second treatment to clear up the louse infestation fully.
How long do I need to wait after bathing my dog before I apply Advantage flea treatment?
If you’ve recently bathed your dog, it’s recommended you wait at least two days before treating them with Advantage flea drops.
Can I allow my pet to swim when using Advantage?
Yes. The active ingredient in Advantage sits in the waterproof layer of your dog’s skin and the product remains effective if your dog becomes wet on occasion (for example after exposure to heavy rain or swimming). However, re-treatment may be necessary on some occasions, for example if your dog is a frequent swimmer; in these cases do not treat more frequently than once weekly.
Can Advantage be used to treat Flea Allergy Dermatitis in my dog?
Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) is an allergic reaction some dogs suffer with when they come into contact with flea saliva as a result of flea bites. It causes dogs to scratch and bite their skin to relieve the extreme irritation. This can lead to hair loss, skin ‘hot spots’ or nasty infections.
Advantage spot-on flea treatment can be used as part of a treatment strategy for Flea Allergy Dermatitis, where this has previously been diagnosed by a veterinary surgeon. The active ingredient in Advantage is able to kill fleas through contact, meaning they don’t have to bite your dog in order to be killed.1 This means dogs are less exposed to the saliva they’re allergic to, helping to reduce FAD outbreaks.
*This information is regarding mode of action and is not intended to imply fleas can be completely stopped from biting.

At each spot part the coat until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and gently squeeze to expel a portion of the contents directly onto the skin.

Only one that works
by Frenchie mam -
After trying many flea treatments, this is the only one that seems to work. Reasonably priced on this site too. <br>Only thing I don't like is that it doesn't protect against ticks <br>I have got this on the bottomless bowl so we never run out

Works well and it's delivered to my door.

I used to use Frontline but found it less expensive now, so I changed to Advantage and I'm really pleased. It works really fast. Petshop's bottomless bowl means I don't have to remember that I've run out and I don't have to worry about going to the shops during the current pandemic.
