Feature

Fleas are small wingless parasites, often 2-3 mm, with back legs that are modified for jumping. During the summer months, they become more active due to the temperature so it’s important to apply effective parasite treatment. Advantage is scientifically proven to prevent and treat fleas on your pet and kill larvae in the home, wherever the treated pet goes.
ADVANTAGE® has been shown to kill adult and larval fleas within 20 minutes of contact by absorption via the flea intersegmental membranes. Stops fleas from feeding in 3–5 minutes. Fleas are not required to bite the animal to receive a lethal dose.

Warnings

Take care when treating ferrets to administer the correct dose. Safety data on overdosing is not available.
ADVANTAGE® has no strong chemical smell. The liquid vehicle in ADVANTAGE® may discolour or damage certain surfaces and fabrics, e.g., polished floorboards, leather. Exclude the animal from contact with such surfaces until the product dries on the animal’s coat.
