Stop Fleas from Biting in
3-5 Minutes, and Kills 98-100% of Fleas Within 12 Hours of Application
There are many different methods of
flea control.
If you have a dog, flea control is an important part
of being a responsible owner. After all, no dog likes to have fleas,
but often it happens anyway. For most dogs, an occasional flea dip,
or a bath with flea-killing shampoo is enough to keep the problem
under control. However, if that doesn't work for flea control, it
might be necessary to try other things.
Usually, the flea dip will be enough, however, if
it isn't, you should try giving your dog regular baths with flea
shampoo. You can find high quality flea shampoo at any of your local
pet stores, and it's generally not too expensive. This is a great
option for flea control if you have a dog who doesn't mind baths,
or who isn't afraid of the water.
If this doesn't work, you can also try getting a flea
repellent collar. While it's always possible just to put the flea
collar on, most people choose to put both the flea collar and the
dog's normal collar on - that way you get flea control and the dog
is identifiable if it gets lost.
There are other types of flea control that have also
proven to be very effective. For example, there is a sort of spot-on
type of flea control that is easily applied to the dog's skin. Usually
these types of flea control are effective for a month or more, however,
they usually only affect adult fleas. It might be a good idea to
get an egg stopper collar, which works to kill flea eggs. That way,
you'll kill both the adult fleas and the flea eggs, eliminating
your dog's flea problem.
If none of these treatments work for effective flea
control, however, you should definitely talk to you vet. Your veterinarian
may be able to recommend some even more effective treatments that
aren't sold over the counter. Hopefully, however, one of the many
products that are on the market will help you to keep your dog flea
free.

How
much would you pay to ease your pet's suffering?
Advantage costs about
40 cents a day. That's a small price to ensure a flea-free pet and
home.
- On the first application Advantage kills 98 - 100%
of fleas on a pet within 12 hours
- New fleas jumping onto a treated pet will die within
2 - 8 hours of contact
- Applied monthly, Advantage kills adult fleas on
contact
Because it works so
fast, Advantage Flea Control provides relief from fleas within minutes.
Advantage is a proven flea killer and stops fleas from biting in
3 - 5 minutes after application. Advantage kills 98-100 percent
of fleas within 12 hours of application. In addition, one convenient
treatment lasts for up to one month.
Advantage Flea Control
is a topical flea adulticide, which means it is applied to your
pet's skin, and kills fleas on contact at the adult stage in their
life cycle.
Advantage Flea Control contains the active ingredient
Imidacloprid; the first compound of a new chemical group to be used
for flea control. Imidacloprid acts on the nervous system of the
flea to cause paralysis and subsequent death. Advantage also contains
benzyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol helps Advantage spread quickly over
the skin of the pet.
Both substances are safe for you and your pet.
Consider the alternative - remember, one flea
can lay over 2,000 eggs in your home and live on your pet for several
months.
