Fleas can be a serious, not to mention obnoxious, problem. And once an infestation sets in, many dog and cat owners turn to Advantage flea control. Guaranteed to stop biting in three to five minutes and kill fleas and larvae within 12 hours, it is one of the most effective products on the market. Sold in one-month doses, Advantage flea medication is available at a number of locations. Read on to find out all you need to know about how to buy Advantage flea medication.
Instructions
Weigh your cat or dog. Advantage flea medication is sold according to the weight of the animal it is being given to. Doses are available for puppies/dogs 10 lbs and under and for dogs from 11 to 20 lbs, 21 to 55 lbs and over 55 lbs. Cat Advantage flea medication is available for kittens/cats 9 lbs and under and for cats 10 lbs and over.
Buy Advantage flea medication at your veterinarian's office. This is the most secure option, especially for first time pet owners. At the veterinarian's office, you will be able to weigh your dog to determine the correct dosage and ask any questions that you might have. Many veterinarians sell Advantage in the four-, six- and 12-month packages offered by the manufacturer, but some will sell a one-month dose. See the Resources section for a website that will help you locate veterinarians that sell Advantage.
Buy Advantage flea medication from a discount third-party supplier. Many online suppliers offer brand name pet medications like Advantage at a fraction of the price. The only drawback to these sites is that they do not always have flea medications for dogs of every weight. You may have to shop around before you find the product that your dog needs.
