Advantage kills fleas on dogs, cats, puppies, kittens
Applied to the back of the neck on cats and between the shoulder blades on
dogs, this topical solution spreads naturally on the skin surface at the hair follicle
level. Advantage continues to kill fleas
and their larvae even after a shampooing, swimming, rain or exposure to sunlight. Under
normal conditions, one Advantage treatment will provide at least one month flea control on
dogs and up to one month control on cats. In the event the pet swims more than once
weekly, re-treatment may be necessary. The pet may be treated as often as once weekly!
Advantage is so gentle it can be used on puppies as young as seven weeks
and kittens as young as eight weeks. Advantage is also used on older cats and dogs. Simply
"being geriatric" would not preclude the use of Advantage on a dog or cat. As
with any product, pet owners with specific concerns (pregnant, nursing, sick, etc.) should
consult their veterinarian prior to use.
For best results, clean and dry your pet before applying Advantage. Once
Advantage is applied to your pet (to the back of the neck on cats and between the shoulder
blades on dogs,) it spreads on the surface of the skin at the hair root level, aided by
body movement, to provide whole body coverage. Advantage topical flea treatment causes the
flea’s nervous system to become impaired, and the flea dies.

Advantage for Dogs
Advantage can be used year-round and it is especially beneficial in areas of the
country where fleas are a
constant problem. Otherwise, it is recommended you begin using Advantage several weeks
before the flea season starts and continue until the flea season is over.
Note: Advantage kills fleas, but does not kill ticks. If
your dog or cat needs protection from ticks and fleas, you might consider using Frontline
Topspot or Frontline Spray. Frontline is safe to use on dogs, cats, puppies and
kittens when used as directed by the label.
