Advantage for Cats (page 3 of 3)

I find Advantage flea control works very well - and for longer than its meant to so I leave it until I find a flea that appears again (as a nurse, I like to use the least amount of medication that proves effective). The spot on application is very easy to use and my cats and dog don't mind it at all. I would recommend it to all cat/dog owners.
Simple to use, effective for longer than stated.

This is a great product and can be bought at many places although online has been cheaper for me. One of my cats gets extremely agitated with other products I have tried. I have tried shampoos (my cats hate water) flea powders (extreme agitation) and flea collars (rubs the fur off my larger cats neck) However through the summer months my cats tend to rub themselves in sand and in the driveway which causes the product to sometimes wear out before the month is up. Come on cats. Give us a break.
Price. Ease of use!
Doesn't last the full month. Smell.

I have 2 cats, one of the cats (domestic) is flea treated very easily, the other cat (ragdoll) is extremely long haired and always flea ridden!! I go to the vet and they only sell Advantage. I've tried it on 3 different occasions but I never saw even one adult flea die!. I have no idea why. I have used a flea treatment I bought from coles and I have found that as worked better. I may have to try that now.
Can find it at any local pet store.
Didn't work

This flea treatment really does work. It stops the discomfort and takes the annoyance away. It works really well in summer when fleas are at their worst. It is worth the money to treat your cat to a flea free life.
This is a very effective treatment for fleas on cats. The problem is cured within days of putting this on the back of the cats neck. It is worth the money. This is the one my vet recommended.
It is a bit expensive, depending where you buy it from. You can get it online for a discount price. WOuld be good if you could buy a bigger supply.

My cat seems to attract fleas no matter what we do and as my mum is advert to using poisons on the cat we've always had to manage them as best we could. Flea baths, flea collars, pills, it was a nightmare to keep on top of them. Finally I gave in and went to the vet to get some advice and they recommended Advantage, it was $80 in store for a 6 month supply but I found some online for $45. I've read some stories of people's cats getting lethargic from the product, so I put it on her neck at night and let her sleep on my bedside table to watch he...

Having three cats I'm very strict with flea control as once one has fleas they all have fleas
I find I never have a flea problem at all whilst using advantage at all. I have been using it for over a year and there appears to be no sign of the product getting weaker or any kind of immunity to it from long term use.
It does get expensive though have three cats a 6 pack will last me two months instead of six, though I would choose it anyday over a cheaper supermarket brand. the cats hate it being applied though and it leaves them and my hands smelling like black texter
kills all fleas, never see a flea on my cats
pricey when more than one cat, smells like black texter!
