Advantage Spot-On Monthly Flea Treatment for Dogs
Advantage for Dogs is a monthly topical flea treatment designed to kill fleas quickly and help prevent flea infestations in dogs and puppies. This easy-to-apply spot-on solution kills adult fleas and flea larvae in the pet’s surroundings while helping to break the flea life cycle for ongoing protection.
Advantage works through contact action, meaning fleas do not need to bite your dog to be killed. One monthly application provides effective flea treatment and control. Advantage Spot-On is suitable for dogs of all ages, including pregnant and lactating dogs.
How does Advantage for Dogs work?
Advantage contains imidacloprid as its active ingredient.
After application, the solution spreads across the skin and coat of the dog. Imidacloprid starts killing fleas rapidly upon contact and eliminates reinfesting fleas before they can continue the flea life cycle.
Because fleas do not need to bite the dog to receive a lethal dose, Advantage helps reduce irritation caused by flea bites and may assist in reducing flea allergy dermatitis associated with flea feeding.
How fast does Advantage work?
Advantage starts working quickly after application. It has been shown to kill adult fleas within 20 minutes of contact by absorption via the flea intersegmental membranes. Furthermore, it stops fleas from feeding in only 3-5 minutes and may help reduce the incidence of hypersensitivity skin disorder known as flea allergy dermatitis (FAD).
What to know before using Advantage for Dogs?
- It is recommended to treat all dogs living in the same household or environment for effective flea control.
