Advantage for Cats
Advantage is a topical flea treatment for cats that is safe and effective. It is available over-the-counter and does not require a prescription from a veterinarian. Advantage kills fleas on contact, so they do not have to bite your cat to be killed. It also kills flea larvae and eggs, which helps to break the flea life cycle. Advantage is waterproof and can be applied even if your cat has been recently bathed. It is safe to use on kittens as young as 8 weeks old.
Advantage is available in two sizes: Advantage for Small Cats and Advantage for Large Cats. The size you need will depend on your cat's weight. To apply Advantage, simply squeeze the appropriate amount of liquid onto the back of your cat's neck, between the shoulder blades. Avoid getting the liquid in your cat's eyes or mouth. Advantage will start killing fleas within 12 hours of application and will provide protection for up to 30 days.
