AdvantageŽ - This product is applied topically
directly onto your pet. It comes supplied with
a set of applicator tubes containing the medication.
Each tube containing the liquid medication is emptied
behind the pet's neck between the shoulder blades in
one spot. Application is done on a monthly basis
for flea control in both cats and dogs. The pet
must be dry in order to apply AdvantageŽ. AdvantageŽ is
not absorbed into the system.
AdvantageŽ works to migrate along the oil layer
of the skin, binding to this layer, and acts as a barrier
against the flea. When fleas come into contact
with AdvantageŽ, it acts to repel the flea before having
a chance to bite the pet. Contact with the AdvantageŽ
by the flea will eventually cause it to die.
This product works for both dogs and cats, and kittens
and puppies 8 weeks of age or older.
Bathing the pet after application, can reduce the effectiveness
of AdvantageŽ. One or two baths spaced out over
the month however, should not greatly reduce Advantage's
effect.
If your pet is allergic
to fleas,
this product is a good choice, as the flea does not
bite the pet prior to being repelled. Therefore
the pet is not exposed to the flea's saliva which is
the cause of the flea allergy.
Check with your veterinarian for recommendations on
what's best for your pet.
