Advantage Once-A-Month Topical Flea Treatment for Cats 0-9 Pounds (4 Applications)

I have been using Advantage for over 6 years and it is my favourite. I do not doubt that there might be others that are as good but I do not need to try them since I am satisfied with Advantage. My cats (in and outdoor) are safe up to 4 months with one single tiny application for each one of my "babies". :)

This flea treatment is awesome. It's worth the extra money. I have a very active indoor/outdoor cat and she likes to romp around in the bushes and weeds. Since I bought Advantage I haven't had fleas since!

My cats have fleas! Or, at least, they had fleas. I have used over-the-counter, less expensive items (flea powders, flea collars, etc.) up to and including other topical products like this one, and nothing worked. The flea collars were less than worthless - they actually caused patches of fur to fall out on at least one cat. The powder was unwieldy, and the other topical applications (save one) did not work at all.

I must give credit where credit is due - I have used Frontline before for my cats, and have been very satisfied with the results from that one. However, I decided to try Advantage this time, as I'd heard good things about it, and it was on sale at a discount when I needed it. I couldn't be more pleased. Unlike most other topical applications where the flea substance is put on the shoulder blades of the cats and stinks (STINKS!), this has no easily discernable smell.

This is a good thing. Also, the cats seemed to settle down from their scratching and biting at fleas within just a few minutes. Last night was the first night in weeks that the cats have all rested peacefully. There were no signs of flea-dirt left in their usual sleeping spaces last night. I am very pleased indeed.

My cats are also happy. While I still have an appreciation for Frontline, I am happy to have Advantage as a viable alternative.

The cats give this a sixteen-paw salute! (Four cats, four paws each, you know...)

Advantage for cats by Bayer Health Care is snake oil. I bought a tube for my kitten by advice from a local vet and applied this stuff carefully according to instructions. 3 days have passed and my kitty still keeps on scratching itself and I keep catching fleas on it. In other words, the product does not work as advertised. Don't waste your money on this snake oil.

If you're cat is an indoor cat, yes this product will work well for you. But if your cats go outside like mine, FORGET IT! Yes Advantage kills fleas that are on your pet immediately. But it does not keep them flea free for 30 days, like they advertise. I've tried Advantage on my cats a few times. The fleas that were on my cats did die within 12 hours. But within ONE WEEK they were biting and scratching again like before. I'm picking fleas off of them after only a week and a half. If the product wasn't so expensive, it might be worth the money. But don't waste your money, because it only works well for a few days. Frontline works a lot better.

I ordered the Advantage orange topical flea treatment for cats, I have used this product before with no problems. The package arrived quickly but the Advantage caused my cats hair to fall out (only in the spot where the treatment was applied) this is the reason I feel that it was the cause. I am scared to put this on another cat to see if it will happen again, so I will just order another brand from another distributor in case of possible contamination. Seller was very quick with the delivery so I don't really have a problem with them.

Advantage stops fleas from biting in 3-5 minutes, kills 98-100 percent of fleas within 12 hours of application, kills re-infesting fleas within two hours and lasts up to a month. Advantage kills fleas before they lay eggs, so their life cycle is broken. A liquid placed in between the shoulder blades of your pet.
