Advantage Spot-On Cat and Dog Flea Treatment
- Health Plan
Product description
Prevention & treatment
Monthly treatment- Easy to use spot-on
Kills fleas within 24 hours
4 week protection
Advantage Spot On solution can be used for both the treatment and prevention of flea infestations, (and the treatment of biting lice on dogs) on cats and dogs weighing less than 4kg.
This Bayer VPS medicine can also be used on kittens and puppies aged 8 weeks and older, on rabbits over the age of 10 weeks and for lactating females. Treatment of nursing females controls flea infestations on both mother and offspring.
Advantage also kills flea larvae in the home, wherever the treated pet goes. One treatment of Advantage Spot On Solution will prevent further flea infestation for up to three to four weeks on cats and dogs. The fleas are killed within one day following treatment and to prevent further flea infestations, repeat the treatment of Advantage spot on monthly. It is also recommended that all pets in the household are treated for fleas at the same time.
The fleas that you see on your pet are only a small portion of the infestation, 95% of the flea’s life cycle occurs in your pet’s environment. In order to stop an existing flea problem you must deal with the flea larvae in your home, carpets, floorings, upholstery and bedding. Re-infestation from flea larvae in the environment may continue to occur for six weeks or longer after the initial treatment. More than one treatment may therefore be required, depending on the level of fleas in the environment.
