Advantage for Cats

Advantage

Fast, effective flea control

Advantage is a trusted flea treatment that works quickly to kill fleas on your cat and stop infestations in their tracks. It starts killing fleas within 20 minutes and provides protection for up to a month. It's easy to apply and suitable for both indoor and outdoor cats.

How Advantage works

Advantage contains imidacloprid, which kills adult fleas through contact, so they don't need to bite your cat to die. It also targets flea larvae in the environment, helping to break the life cycle and reduce re-infestation. Just one application a month is all it takes.

Application and safety

Advantage is a spot-on treatment that's applied to the back of the neck. It spreads through the skin and remains effective even after bathing. It's safe to use on kittens from 8 weeks of age and can be used alongside wormers or heartworm preventatives unless otherwise advised by your vet.

Ideal for multi-cat households

Because Advantage kills fleas through contact, it helps reduce the spread of fleas between pets. Treating all cats in the household at the same time is key to stopping the cycle. Regular monthly use helps keep your home flea-free.

Why choose Advantage?

Advantage is fast, waterproof, and easy to apply. It's a great option if your cat reacts badly to flea bites or if you want quick relief from an active infestation. For cats that don't need tick protection or worming in the same product, Advantage keeps things simple.
