What is Advantage for Dogs?

Advantage for Dogs is a topical treatment designed to safeguard your canine companions against common external parasites. One application per month helps treat and control flea infestations and controls lice on dogs. This spot-on dog treatment kills fleas on contact, eliminating the need for them to bite. It is suitable for puppies from birth, as well as pregnant and lactating dogs, protecting dogs at different life stages.

Advantage monthly flea treatment has been shown to stop reinfesting fleas from feeding within minutes of application. In addition to killing adult fleas, it also eliminates larval fleas, breaking the flea lifecycle. This makes it an excellent choice during heavy flea infestations. When used as directed on the label, this spot-on flea treatment remains effective after exposure to rain or swimming.

Suitable For

Advantage for dogs is suitable for use in puppies and dogs from birth.

Directions
How to Use Advantage for Dogs

  • Weigh your dog for the correct dosage.
  • Remove the applicator from the pack.
  • Pull the applicator cap off, holding it upright and reverse the cap, pushing it back on the applicator.
  • Twist the cap to break the seal and remove it from the applicator.
  • For convenient application, the dog should be in a standing position.
  • Remove the collar before application if your dog is wearing any and replace it once the application is dry.
  • Part the dog's hair between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible.
  • Place the applicator tip on the dog's skin and squeeze it firmly to apply the liquid to the dog's skin, keeping it away from the pet's eyes and mouth.
  • Do not apply when the animal's coat is wet.
  • Use a soap-free shampoo when washing the dog.
  • The treatment of the mother dog protects the litter while in contact, hence it is not necessary to treat unweaned puppies. Treat the mother until weaning, then treat individual puppies.
  • It is necessary to treat all pets in the same environment.
