Advantage Flea & Tick Treatments For Cats

Advantage for Cats Flea Treatment

 

Advantage flea treatment for cats kills existing fleas in a day, prevents them from re-infesting, and lasts up to a month. It can be applied to your cat's skin directly and gets to work very quickly. With Advantage, fleas don't have to bite to die because the spot-on solution kills them on contact. By using Advantage, you can put an end to flea infestations with ease.

 

Unlike other flea products, Advantage contains an active ingredient, imidacloprid, which acts quickly and kills fleas on contact, without absorbing into the bloodstream. It remains in the skin and fur of your cat for about two weeks. Additionally, imidacloprid kills flea larvae in the home as your cat sheds their dead skin and fur. Once the imidacloprid is in contact with flea larvae, it kills them within 20 minutes, thus breaking their life cycle.
