Advantage Topical Flea Treatment for Cats up to 9 Pounds (6 Applications)

Simply the best. Tried Frontline several times on my cats and ferret and it didn't work. Advantage did a wonderful job and worked quickly. Most were gone right away. You could tell any stragglers were on their last legs. Easy to use and very convenient.

Advantage is effective and convenient flea control for cats. I use it less often than directed and its residual effects lower the cost.

Buying it throught the web is more convenient and less costly than finding it and buying it at a local pet store or through the vet.

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...)

While I know Advantage works perfectly, as I've used it before, I decided to order through Amazon, and specifically AbsolutelyPets, and wouldn't you know it, I just found a flea on my couch. Not only did they send me the wrong amount (thankfully, so I could get a partial refund for this non-working substance) it wasn't in the box, and I"m pretty convinced it's fake, since it hasn't worked at all. And now I get to go out and buy it from a REPUTABLE place, and will spread the word that AbsolutelyPets is AbsolutelyAwful.

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 am pleased with the flea med, however I am extremely unhappy with the 3 - 4 week delivery. I feel you are using my money while I have nothing to show for it in the time promised.

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.
