Advantage for cats is a monthly flea treatment. Applied topically the treatment kills 98-100% fleas within just 20 minutes. The topical solution affects re-infesting fleas within 3 to 5 minutes, kills re-infesting adult fleas within 1 hour and flea larvae in your cat’s surroundings within 20 minutes of contact with the active ingredient. It kills both adult fleas, and larvae found on the pet’s body and in the surroundings, reducing the incidence of flea allergy dermatitis. Advantage works on contact so fleas don’t need to bite to be killed. The rapid acting, waterproof treatment prevents future infestations and flea multiplication for one complete month. It’s safe for kittens and during pregnancy and lactation.

Working Method

Advantage consists of Imidacloprid as the active ingredient. The ingredient is a systemic insecticide that attacks central nervous system of parasites. It starts action within an hour of application. It blocks the neural pathway causing hyper excitation and paralysis in the recipient. The result is an eventual death. It destroys adult fleas and larvae within 20 minutes - breaking flea lifecycle.

It prevents fleas from biting the pet within 3 to 5 minutes and prevents flea allergy dermatitis. The action continues for one complete month and protects the pet against future infestations.

*Please Note: We may ship order according to available stock.

Advantage FAQs

How do cats get fleas?

Fleas can invite themselves into your home and on to your cat in various ways:

If you come into contact with fleas, these pesky parasites can hitch a ride on you or your clothing and enter your home.
Wandering animals shed eggs into the environment, they then hatch and complete their lifecycle by developing into adults and taking a blood meal from your cat.
Other infested pets your cat comes into contact with or that pass through your backyard.
Animals such as other cats and possums can transport fleas into your garden, and your cat may pick them up there.
Untreated pets at home can pass fleas to your cat.

What is the difference between Advantage and oral flea products?

With oral treatments fleas must bite and feed to then be killed. Advantage flea treatment for cats is a spot-on treatment that is applied to the skin and kills fleas on contact, so it does not require fleas to bite.

Mehlhorn et al. Parasitol Res (2001) 87:198-207, information is regarding mode of action and is not intended to imply parasites can be completely stopped from biting.

How often should I use Advantage?

It is recommended that Advantage be applied to your cat once a month all year round.

How long does Advantage last?

Advantage works quickly and continues to kill fleas for a month.

Can I use Advantage on my kitten?

Yes, Advantage can be used on kittens - there is no age or weight restriction. Prior to weaning, treatment of the mother protects the litter while in contact. Treat the mother until weaning and individual kittens afterwards.

Can I bathe my cat when using Advantage?

If you need to bathe your cat, we recommend bathing and then applying Advantage when your cat is dry, and then no more frequently than every two weeks.

Can I use Advantage if my cat is on medication?

Consult your vet before using Advantage in conjunction with any other medication.

Can I use Advantage on a pregnant or lactating cat?

Yes, Advantage is registered for use during pregnancy and lactation.

My cat is strictly indoors. Should I still use Advantage?

Fleas can enter your home through many means, including on your clothing, other pets, or rodents or mice, so even indoor cats are at risk of flea infestations.

I’ve only seen a couple of fleas on my cat. Should I still use Advantage?

If you see any fleas on your cat, you’re looking at only five per cent of the total number that might be in your home. For every flea you see, many more eggs, larvae and pupae are hidden in carpets, bedding and upholstery, and will soon hatch into new adult fleas. The best way to reduce the chances of having a flea infestation in your home is to use a flea treatment regularly.

Only one of my pets appears to have fleas. Should I only treat the infected pet?

No, it’s important to treat all pets in your household with a suitable flea product. Fleas multiply quickly, so once one pet is infested, it won’t be long before other pets are infested too.

Can I split pipettes of Advantage between my cats?

No, always follow the instructions carefully and give your cat the correct dosage to ensure effective treatment. If you’re unsure of any directions for the application of Advantage for Cats, contact the Bayer Customer Care Line on 1800 768 368 toll free.
