Facts About Advantage Flea Treatment for Cats

Advantage is a topical flea solution for cats that has revolutionized the way veterinarians fight fleas. Created by Bayer, Advantage allows the owner to apply a single dose of flea medication to the cat, which disperses all over the body and kills fleas for up to one month.

Efficacy

Bayer claims that 98 to 100% of adult fleas on the cat will be killed within 12 hours. Adult fleas that attempt to jump onto the cat after treatment will meet the same fate within two hours.

Relief

Though the fleas will remain alive on the cat for several hours, they will stop biting within 3 to 5 minutes of application. The cat will begin to experience relief quickly.

Multi-Stage Efficacy

Unlike most other flea treatments, Advantage kills flea larvae before they have an opportunity to reproduce. This process halts the infestation in its tracks.

Age

This product can be used on elderly cats, kittens over 8 weeks and debilitated cats.

Where to Buy

Advantage can be purchased over the counter at pet retail outlets, by mail, or at your veterinary office.
