Since its introduction by Bayer in April 1996, Advantage has become known as the flea specialist and is the fastest flea control in a tube. Advantage kills 98 - 100 percent of adult fleas within 12 hours of application, and reinfesting fleas are killed within two hours. It kills fleas before they have a chance to lay eggs therefore breaking the flea life cycle.
Advantage is applied to the back of the neck on cats and between the shoulder blades on dogs. It spreads naturally on the skin surface at the hair root level, aided by body movement to provide whole body coverage. Advantage a is water-resistant flea medication, so it continues to kill fleas even after a shampooing, swimming, rain or exposure to sunlight.
Kills fleas before they lay eggs and flea larvae before they hatch
Safe for all dogs 7 weeks and older and over 56 pounds

Review date : 2008-08-25 I have used Advantage on my dogs for 10 years. We do not have ticks where I live otherwise I’d switch to Advantix. Since Advantage has worked fine for all my dogs, I see no reason to change.
When I got my puppy I was given 2 coupon packs for Frontline. I gave those away because I am not going to switch. I do not want the dogs on different flea meds. So for me once an Advantage user, always and Advantage user.
Review date : 2008-08-23 We bought Advantage rather than Frontline or Advantix to save a couple bucks, and our 60lb hound stopped scratching for a bit, but she developed this really foul odor shortly after we applied it. Within 2 days the stink was so bad we had to bathe her. It’s been a couple weeks now and she’s scratching again and i can see flea dirt on her belly. Hopefully entirelypets.com has a good return policy. I think our Redbone will stick with Advantix instead…
Review date : 2008-06-18 Product works as expected. I get one dog and two cats out of the largest 4.0 ml dosage (>55lb dosage). The concentration is the same on this product regardless of the size. You just get more with the larger doses which can be used on your cats or other dogs as well. Note: Advantix and Advantage multi are for dogs only and should not be used on cats. Here is a link to cat dosages. lisaviolet.com/cathouse/advantage.html Saves a ton of $. Good luck. You will need something that measures to the 0.1ml. I use a good 1/2 or 1 ml syringe with the needle removed. It makes measuring and applying a snap.

Review date : 2008-06-09 Awesome product!!!! Have used it for years on my lab and have never had a problem. Plus, I have shopped all over the internet for the best price and Amazon has been the best priced plus offers free shipping.
Review date : 2008-02-08 I live in Houston, TX and we have fleas year round. This is the only stuff that works!!! Frontline does not work down here, we must have bionic fleas!!!
