We all know how most cats
dislike flea sprays, powders and
dips. Veterinarians can offer
their clients some alternatives.
Advantage appears to be very
safe and effective as well as
user friendly.

Advantage works directly
against the adult flea and is
applied to the skin over a small area behind
the head and neck region. Advantage only
has to be used once a month, working very
quickly within a 24-48 hour period to rid the cat
of fleas. This product should be considered for
those cats who suffer from flea allergic dermatitis
and need quick relief from fleas, but it should not
be viewed as a total flea control measure for
your home. It is a flea adulticidal product only.

Due to a growing concern over the potential
emergence of heartworm disease in the cat as
well as the dog, we are encouraging heartworm
prevention in both species. Advantage Multi,
the newest addition to the Advantage product line, offers such protection.

And for the occasional feline objecting to the smell or tactile sensation of Advantage, we now have another topical flea control product called Vectra that appears to be very safe and effective.
