FAQs
How often should I use Advantage?
It is recommended that you apply Advantage to your dog once a month all year round to achieve protection from fleas.
Can I use Advantage to treat louse infestations?
Yes, Advantage for dogs can be used to treat biting lice in addition to fleas. You should book a check-up with your vet 30 days after treatment, as some dogs may need a second treatment to clear up the louse infestation fully.
How long do I need to wait after bathing my dog before I apply Advantage flea treatment?
If you’ve recently bathed your dog, it’s recommended you wait at least two days before treating them with Advantage flea drops.
Can I allow my pet to swim when using Advantage?
Yes. The active ingredient in Advantage sits in the waterproof layer of your dog’s skin and the product remains effective if your dog becomes wet on occasion (for example after exposure to heavy rain or swimming). However, re-treatment may be necessary on some occasions, for example if your dog is a frequent swimmer; in these cases do not treat more frequently than once weekly.
Can Advantage be used to treat Flea Allergy Dermatitis in my dog?
Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) is an allergic reaction some dogs suffer with when they come into contact with flea saliva as a result of flea bites. It causes dogs to scratch and bite their skin to relieve the extreme irritation. This can lead to hair loss, skin ‘hot spots’ or nasty infections.
Advantage spot-on flea treatment can be used as part of a treatment strategy for Flea Allergy Dermatitis, where this has previously been diagnosed by a veterinary surgeon. The active ingredient in Advantage is able to kill fleas through contact, meaning they don’t have to bite your dog in order to be killed.1 This means dogs are less exposed to the saliva they’re allergic to, helping to reduce FAD outbreaks.
*This information is regarding mode of action and is not intended to imply fleas can be completely stopped from biting.

Remove one pipette from the package. Hold pipette in an upright position, twist and pull off cap. Use reversed cap to twist and remove seal from pipette. The dog should be standing for easy application. The entire contents of the pipette(s) should be applied evenly to three or four spots all located at different application sites along the dog’s backline from the shoulder to the base of the tail. At each spot part the coat until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and gently squeeze to expel a portion of the contents directly onto the skin.
The product is bitter tasting and salivation may occasionally occur if the dog licks the application site immediately after treatment and should disappear within some minutes. Apply only to undamaged skin. Do not allow recently treated animals to groom each other.
Do not treat again within 4 weeks.

A flea treatment that works
by Melanie -
After trying many flea products over the years. Wasting money on non effective treatments.
<br>This one works a treat, tried and tested, not a flea in sight. Blister packs are easy to open and pierce using the cap.
<br>Very good price and with free delivery over £20
<br>Its a no brainer. After using this for some years now. I will continue to use advantage as I know its working.
Best spot on flea treatment
by Meens -
Have used Advantage for many years on both my dogs after another leading brand stopped working. Haven’t found a flea on them or in the house. One of my dogs hates being treated with any of the spot on treatments and sulks and ignores me for a couple of days but the grumpiness doesn’t last quite as long with Advantage!

I have used advantage for a few years now it is much more effective than other brands and never had any issue with it. Service was excellent and price is much better than elsewhere
Perfect for our cats
by Robertas -
This is a perfect combination of quality and price, and delivery method (spot on) for our both cats. Oral tablets are almost impossible to administer for them, so this saves our now scratch-free arms and eyes :)
Well recommended
by Furball mummy -
This flea treatment is excellent and works for all 3 of my cats. It is also sooo much cheaper than buying it from the vet. I don't have to worry about remembering to buy it as it's on an automatic reorder which is easy to set up and can be altered if necessary.
