Advantage flea treatment often begins to kill fleas within 12 hours of application, and you can expect to see a significant reduction in flea activity on your cat within 24 to 48 hours.
- Reduction in scratching and itching
- Fewer adult fleas visible on your cat
- Decrease in flea dirt (tiny black specks) on your cat's skin and fur
Advantage is designed to eliminate fleas quickly and effectively. The active ingredient targets adult fleas, halting their lifecycle and reducing discomfort for your cat. Continued improvement over the next week is typical, but it's important to maintain a regular treatment schedule to prevent re-infestation.
For further personalized advice and to ensure your cat's comfort, consider booking a consultation with Dial A Vet.
