Advantage™ fast-acting flea treatment for cats, dogs and rabbits.

If your pet does catch fleas, your home can quickly become infested, as fleas lay eggs on your pet, which fall off into your home.  The eggs hatch into larvae, which develop into pupae, from which new adult fleas emerge ready to bite your pet.  These eggs, larvae and pupae will be present in carpets, bedding, upholstery and cracks in hard flooring, all around your home.

When a flea infestation has broken out in your home it’s important to act quickly. Ensure you wash animal bedding regularly and hoover your carpets and floors to kill fleas at every stage of their life cycle.  

A veterinary approved household flea spray may also help with flea control.

Some pets are hypersensitive to flea saliva, which causes an allergic reaction which leads to a skin condition called Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD).

This can be highly uncomfortable for the dog or cat, causing them to compulsively scratch, lick or groom their irritated skin, often leading to hair loss and skin lesions.

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

As with any medication, side effects are possible. On rare occasions, skin reactions such as hair loss, redness, itching and skin lesions can occur.  See the package leaflet for full information on side effects, and always speak to your vet if you have any concerns about your pet.  

Advantage contains the active ingredient imidacloprid.  Imidacloprid is able to kill fleas through contact; meaning they do not have to bite your pet to be killed.¹  It also kills flea larvae in your home.

Each pack of Advantage contains four single use pipettes; each pipette protects against fleas for up to four weeks, so a pack gives up to four months’ protection in total.   

You will need to buy the treatment which is suitable for your pet’s weight. See 'Advantage Products for Dogs, Cats and Rabbits' to find the right treatment for your pet.

The application of Advantage flea treatment is easy and fuss-free.

Step 1: Use the Advantage product that is suitable for the weight of your cat.

Step 2: Hold the tube in an upright position and twist and pull the cap to remove it.  Use the reversed cap to twist and remove the seal from the tube.

Step 3: The spot-on treatment needs to be applied to the back of the cat's neck at the base of the skull. Part the fur until the skin is visible and squeeze firmly to empty the contents of the tube.

Step 4: Record treatment date and repeat every 4 weeks.

It’s important that you don’t apply the treatment to damaged skin and don’t allow recently treated animals to groom each other. If you’re unsure how to apply Advantage spot-on treatment for cats, refer to the product information included in the pack or contact your vet.
