The Pros of Advantage Flea Control

Advantage flea solution has been protecting cats and dogs from fleas since the early 1990s. This popular flea treatment kills fleas within 12 hours. It also kills reinfesting fleas within two hours. Your pet remains protected from fleas for four weeks after treatment. Besides these upsides to the flea medication, there are other pros to using Advantage flea control.

  1. Ease of Use

    • With straightforward, detailed instructions, it is difficult not to understand how to use Advantage. The applicator also is designed so that it can easily be applied to the back of your pet's neck, The Daily Puppy stated in a review of the product.

    Best for Fleas

    • Because the makers of Advantage did not create a product that also kills mites, ticks and worms, the product can be specifically designed to destroy fleas. This makes it a more successful flea killer than treatments such as Frontline, according to a review on Dr. Larry PetVet.com.

    Safe for Puppies

    • Unlike some flea treatments, Advantage is safe to use on puppies, which are just as susceptible to fleas as adult dogs.

    No Bathing Restrictions

    • Unlike some topical solutions that make you wait three days to bathe your pet, you can bathe your pet mere minutes after applying the Advantage solution. This means you don't have to worry about the solution washing away if your pet gets wet.
