Bobby, my westie-poodle cross, had experienced dermatitis around his rear end for most of his life despite my use of special shampoos and Frontline flea treatment on a regular basis. The condition was not debilitating but it certainly annoyed him. Then, just as a shot in the dark, I tried Advantage and the dermatitis was gone in about a week and it has not returned: that was about 7 months ago. He now is also completely untroubled by fleas. I would strongly recommend this product if your pooch is prone to skin problems caused by fleas.

I will no longer be using bayer flea control as it's really expensive....And doesn't work. I have used advantix for several years and it was fine, but the last few months i've had to treat my dogs every 2 weeks, and the last time i treated them it did not work at all. My dogs have been suffering because of an expensive, useless product (as well as my wallet).

We have used this product for a number of years and found it worked well up until the last year. We are now finding fleas on our dogs. Even our vet had other people commenting that it now seems ineffective against fleas. We're switching to try something else now. It's too expensive not to work.

Although this product has always worked when I have used it on my dogs the toxic smell is horrible. Fortunately I very rarely have fleas on my 3 dogs so I no longer use any of these poisons. It's not good enough that I need to google side effects - of which there are many - because in Australia there is no requirement for this information to be provided.
Kills fleas quickly
Disgusting smell, harmful chemicals

I am so happy to see my dog relaxed & flea free. I switched to Advantage after finding F L totally useless & am very pleasantly surprised. Within a couple of hours after application fleas could be seen dead on my dogs coat. No more scratching, biting & whining from my beloved pet. Funny thing is salesman didn't want to sell me this product as he swore the product I had been using was the best & said I was just wasting my money. Very rude & I won't be buying from there again. I'm sure bayer would not be impressed!!
It works

We put advantage on our 3 dogs as suggested by our vet. within a couple of days our maltese terrier was sick, and now our king charles is sick, they have lost there appetite and are lethargic, the only thing i can put it down to is the advantage, and besides all that they still have fleas :(

I believe this is pure water. It does not do anyting. We done everything that was asked by the vet, treated the house, the dog, the bedding, and the fleas are still there.

expensive

Advantage is a flea control only that really does work. It's not as expensive as some of the other spot ons that include worming etc, so is an economical choice for people that only wish to treat fleas, for example if they get the yearly heartworm injection, so don't need to pay twice for a product that's doing the same thing. If you live in an area that doesn't have ticks, this is definitely the one I would recommend!
Kills fleas at all stages of the life cycle. It really does work!
Doesn't treat worms, heartworm or ticks, which some of the other brands do

I have always found Advantage works better than other brands. I have tried others because they are cheaper and i believed their advertising, but have come back to it for good now. I love that it is weather proof as our dog lives outside and loves to go swimming in the dam, it is good to know he is still covered.
It works better and for a longer period than other brands I have tried over the years
It is one of the higher priced ones. Sometimes you get it on your skin when the dog shakes after application - this may be a health concern.

Ahh... finally a product that works. After trying many different brands I have finally found one that does what it claims to do. There are just so many different brands on the market that you never know which one to try as they all claim to do the same thing. I have found only this product to do what it claims to do. The application is fairly simple to do and not much mess. I would strongly recommend this product. It was great
It works!! Easy to apply.
It is a bit more expensive than other similar products on the market.

I have been using this product for several years. Last year I stopped and changed to another product. My dog got fleas and no matter which product I tried, or how I treated my house I could not get rid of them. I went back to advantage and within a few days we were flea free and happy again! I strongly receommend this product for your pet. It works! And that is what matters! Easy to use, no mess, a wonderful product
easy to use. effective. really helped us overcome our dogs flea problem when nothing else would help.
the price - but it works

I have been using this brand of flee control for my dog for over 13 years and have had good results every time. I buy it in the 6 month pack however I don't use them every month unless I think my dog might have a few flees - maybe once every 2 months and it keeps him happy. They are so easy to apply & don't really cost an arm & a leg considering you get 6 months worth in a pack and if they do the job then it's worth it anyway.
very easy to apply & it works well every time
may seem a bit pricey however you get 6 months worth in a pack and if it works then it's worth it

Ihave been using advantage for 2 and a half years - it really works - it's easy to apply - we've never had an issue with fleas - really happy
it works!! no fleas on our dog
the cost - but it works - so can't complain really

I have found this the best for my mini foxie, I have tryed the other brands and they don't seem to work any where near as good as advantage.
The good thing with advantage is you can buy it in single rows so its not costing you a heap compared to other brands you have to buy the whole box with them.
This product works so fast which is what you want it says 3-5 mintues and the flea's stop biting.
Overall 5/5 for me, Can't get a better flea control for dogs.
The price is great. Can't get any better then advantage works everytime.
Nothing at all.
