Why Worry about fleas?
Fleas can cause more than just irritation in dogs; they can lead to flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) or even anaemia (if it’s a severe infestation). Some pets develop allergies to flea saliva, which means even a few bites can lead to severe itching and sore skin infected fleas can also transmit tapeworm if swallowed during grooming. All very nasty stuff.
What’s more, fleas don’t just bite your furry friend, they bite humans too and can infest your home causing irritation to you and your family. Did you know it can take months to get rid of a infestation in your home as only 5% of fleas lice on tour pet, the other 95% are in your home environment as eggs, larvae and pupae.
One application of advantage, the vet-recommended flea treatment, with its fuss-free pipette application gets to work within one day and remains effective for up to four weeks. Advantage is able to kill fleas through contact, no biting required. *

Clare
Does Advantage kill ear mites in dogs?
Advantage is licensed to kill fleas and lice. It is not licensed to kill mite, including ear mites.
Andy Hill
Does this product stop ticks ( we have a lot of deer ticks)
Advantage covers fleas/lice, it does not cover ticks. If you are looking for tick coverage over the counter then I recommend either Frontline Plus or Seresto.
June Clarke
I have a cavalier cross maltese/pom.he weighs 11.5 kilo.what size do I need for advantage flea drops
At 11.5kg you should use the Advantage for Large dogs (10-25kg), one whole pipette should be administered as per the product data sheet.

How soon after application can my dog go swimming?
Does swimming lessen the effectiveness of the treatment
Hello,
Thank you for your question, we do advise that you allow the product to dry fully before allowing your dog to go swimming; we would suggest 2 days.
The product remains effective if the animal becomes wet, for example after exposure to heavy rain or after swimming (dogs). However, re-treatment may become necessary, depending on the presence of fleas in the environment. In these cases do not treat more frequently than once weekly.
I do hope this helps.

Does it help get rid of ticks?
Hello,
Thank you for your question.
No, unfortunately this is just a flea prevention.
Thank you.
