Advantage for Cats Instructions

The itching and scratching associated with fleas can make your cat's life miserable. A number of topical products exist to help you fight fleas. Advantage claims that its main ingredient, imidacloprid, kills 98 to 100 percent of fleas within 12 hours from the time of application and protects your cat for an entire month. Before giving your cat any flea medication, talk to your veterinarian about your options.
