Description

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. *

Q & A

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Advantage 400 Spot On Flea Control Extra Large Dog, including answers from our team.

Pregnant bitches

Sandra Bourn

Is this Advantage safe to use on my pregnant bitch .?

  • VioVet Staff

The datasheet states the following regarding it's use in pregnant bitches:
No reproductive toxic effects have been observed in rats and no primary embryotoxic or teratogenic toxic effects have been observed during the studies on rats and rabbits. Studies on pregnant and lactating bitches, queens and does together with their offspring are limited. Evidence so far indicates that no adverse effects are to be expected in these animals.

This means unfortunately there is not significant data to guarantee it is safe. It should only be used in a pregnant bitch alongside direct advice from your vet.

Advantage flea

Sus

Does this cover lounge work and heart worm

  • VioVet Staff

Advantage Spot On covers fleas and lice, it will not cover lungworm or heartworm. If you would like to cover lungworm then I advise using Advocate. This is by the same company but also contains moxidectin to cover lungworm/roundworms. It is a prescription only product so you will need a written prescription from your vet to purchase it.

Hello Danielle,

Thank you for your question.

It is safe to apply to lactating females and doing this will treat the puppies or kittens as well as the adult, and can be used on dogs from 8 weeks old.

Does this product need a prescription?

  • VioVet Staff

No you do not need a prescription for Advantage but you do for Advantix.

When can I use an alternative?

Geraldine Sayers Cowper

  • VioVet customer since 2017
  • From: Norfolk, United Kingdom

Advantage has stopped working on my elderly cat (20yrs old). How soon can I use an alternative - I applied Advantagge 2 weeks ago and she still has fleas.

  • VioVet Staff

It should be safe to try an alternative now if it has been 2 weeks since she last had Advantage. However it is unlikely that the Advantage has stopped working but that you need to treat the house too with a spray such as Indorex. Fleas hide in carpets, curtains, furniture, pet bedding etc and then can jump back onto your cat. Even if your cat has been treated it will take around 24hrs before the fleas are killed.

Suitable for Guinea pigs?

Samantha Batty

Brought the Guinea pigs in for winter and I really don't want the cats to get fleas. Will this dosage be suitable for Guinea pigs?

  • VioVet Staff

Hello Samantha, t

Thank you for your question.

Unfortunately this product is not suitable for use on guinea pigs as it is only licensed for use on dogs, cats or rabbits.

We would recommend checking out the Xeno 450 Spot-On Parasite & Flea Treatment to treat guinea pigs for fleas. Here is a link to the product page: https://www.viovet.co.uk/Xeno_450_Spot-On_Parasite_Flea_Treatment/c9683/?sct_t=1512049286&sct_q=xeno&sct_r=2

I hope that helps.

I am looking for advantage puppy flea treatment for a twelve week old puppy weighing approximately 12 kilos do you sell it and for how much?

  • VioVet Staff

Advantage is safe to use on puppies from 8 weeks old. If your puppy is 12kg then you will need Advantage 250 spot-on.
