Advantage And Advantage Multi Flea Control For
Dogs And Cats
Dogs and cats deserve serious protection from
fleas and this is what Advantage, a Bayer
product, is able to offer. You can choose between
Advantage for Dogs and Advantage for Cats, two
different products entirely, but containing Bayer's
active ingredient, the medicine Imidacloprid.
This is the same product recommended by veterinarians
for its high level of effectiveness at not just
killing fleas, but ending the flea life cycle,
as well.
Advantage is designed to work fast, killing 98%
of the fleas infesting your dog or cat within
just 12 hours. Each application, which you apply
from the tubes the product comes in, will offer
a full 30 days of protection for your pet. Due
the fact that Advantage works so quickly, your
pet will begin experiencing relief usually within
minutes of the application. However, the fleas
will will continue to be killed as the application
continues working. Not only does the active ingredient
in Advantage
kill adult fleas, it acts to sterilize the female
flea so that her eggs will not hatch. The larvae
anywhere around your pet, even on furniture or
the floor, are also killed so they cannot grow
into adult fleas. That means the flea life cycle
is ended and your dog or cat will finally get
some peace.
Advantage is safe for puppies 7 weeks or older
and kittens 8 weeks or older, as well as pregnant
or nursing mothers. Since it is resistant to water,
it will not wash off due to rain, swimming or
if you give your pet a bath.
Advantage Multi offers all of the above
benefits plus protection for heartworm, a deadly
parasite that can affect cats and dogs alike.
Hookworms and roundworms are also eliminated by
using Advantage Multi. This superior protection
relies on Bayer's active ingredients Imidacloprid
and Moxidectin to get the job done quickly.
