  • Why Worry About Fleas?

    Aside from causing irritation, fleas can lead to Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) and even anaemia in serious cases. Infected fleas can also transmit tapeworm if swallowed during grooming.

    Fleas bite humans too. Home infestations can take months to clear because only 5% of fleas live on your pet. The other 95% are in your home environment as eggs, larvae and pupae.

    One application of Advantage remains effective for up to 4 weeks in pets and up to one week in rabbits.

How to Apply Advantage

For dogs < 25kg: Part the coat between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the tube on the skin and squeeze firmly several times to empty the contents directly onto the skin.
For dogs > 25kg: The entire contents of the Advantage® tube should be applied evenly to three to four spots on the top of the back from the shoulder to the base of the tail.

  • Step 4 for cats
    Part the hair on the pet’s neck at the base of the skull until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the tube on the skin and squeeze firmly several times to empty its contents directly onto the skin.

FAQs

How often should I use Advantage?

It is recommended that you apply Advantage to your cat or dog once a month , or to your rabbit once a week 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 pets may need a second treatment to clear up the louse infestation fully.

How long do I need to wait after bathing my pet before I apply Advantage flea treatment?

If you’ve recently bathed your pet, 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 pet’s skin and the product remains effective if your pet 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?

Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) is an allergic reaction some pets suffer with when they come into contact with flea saliva as a result of flea bites. It causes cats and 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 pet in order to be killed.1 This means pets are less exposed to the saliva they’re allergic to, helping to reduce FAD outbreaks.

My cat is strictly an indoor cat. Do I still need to use Advantage?

Parasites can get into your home without being invited, which means indoor cats aren’t immune from catching fleas.

Fleas can enter your home through many means, including on your clothing, on other pets and on rodents which may have also broken into your home. These fleas can then easily be passed to indoor cats causing an infestation in your home.

Great Product

This arrived quickly. I starting using this last year after switching from another well known brand. Although my cat hates me applying it, it did keep fleas away.

Good Product that works

by -

This arrived quickly. I switched to advantage last year and this kept the pesky fleas away. My dog has sensitive skin so even just one flea irritates her. Strictly adhering to the application schedule worked for her.

Good value and price

by -

I haven’t used spot on before on my dog. She is just a year. I have always had a tablet from the vets. I don’t think she had fleas but as the cats had a few thought I had better to the dog. Good price

Excellent value and works well

by -

Very pleased found it to work just as well as the stronghold that I was using from the vets and half the price. I have put off getting flea treatment for my cats as it is so expensive and it wasn’t until we started getting fleas on my cats ears that I had to do something. A friend recommended to try on line as she does for her worming and flea and says it such a better price. Sorry to say but I think the vets charge far too much. Thank you
