Advantage Once-A-Month Topical Flea Treatment for Cats & Kittens Over 9 Pounds (6 Applications)

Advantage for cats from this merchant was great... great product... great price... great service.. thanks

I love this product. Living in Florida with two cats who can go in and out at will can be problematic 9 months out of the year. Within 12 hours, Advantage has killed all the fleas on my cats and I don't ever get an infestation problem in the house. The application lasts about a month and I don't see a flea on them during that time. On a side note, I tried one of the less expensive Advantage-like remedies, and my cat became ill for a few days. In other words, I don't recommend trying to save a few dollars when Advantage works like a charm.

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...)

I honestly don't know if this product works because I don't need it. What I've been using for years works for my cats. I've had a total of four cats that I've used this on and have absolutely no problems with fleas or ticks. Two of these cats were indoor/outdoor cats, in Florida, where fleas are more than abundant. I simply put an amethyst in their water. I know, it makes no logical sense. I thought the same thing when a friend told me, but I tried it anyway and for some reason it works. The first time I used it was with my cat Zeus. I had just gotten him out of the pound and he took off on me for 10 days. When he came back he was loaded with fleas (he was white, and the fleas were very visible on him). I put an amethyst in his water and didn't use anything else. Within a day or so, they were gone. Since then I have never put anything on any cat for fleas. You can buy an amethyst stone in any new age store for a dollar or two. Because I have a dog and three cats I have a large water bowl so I put two in it, just to be sure. (No, I'm sorry, it doesn't work for dogs).

If ticks are the problem, I'm not sure about the amethyst. I don't live in a heavily wooded area. Zeus had no ticks on him when he came home with the fleas but I've never found a tick on my cats either. Is it because there are simply no ticks in my area or does the amethyst work for ticks too? I don't know.

Personally, I love not putting chemicals on my cats, and how much more cost effective can you get than one investment of a couple of dollars that lasts forever?

This used to work for all my animals, but last year and this year it has not worked. I do not know if the quality of the product has gone down hill, or if the fleas have built up an immunity.

I have used Advantage in the past on my cats and it has always worked effectively. This time, it did absolutely nothing to rid the problem. This product was a total waste of money and time.

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.
