Product Information

Advantage is one of the most effective and safe treatments to treat fleas on dogs, cats and rabbits. Advantage II flea drops are specifically formulated and tested for cats of certain weights. The full dose of the correct product needs to be administered on a monthly basis. The product can fail if the manufacturer’s instructions aren’t followed. It’s not uncommon for owners to under-dose their pets as a result of splitting treatments between animals. Toxicity concerns can also result in under-dosing. Re-dosing Early For dogs < 25kg: Part the coat between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the tube on the skin and squeeze firmly several times to empty the contents directly onto the skin. I’m not sure which product you applied to your cat.
