What is Advantage for dogs and cats?

Vantagem não é para cães ou gatos pode ser usado em ambos, e ainda melhor é seguro para uso em filhotes e gatinhos . Lembre-se, porém, apenas porque Advantage para gatos e vantagem para cães têm os mesmos ingredientes, você pode precisar dar a cada animal diferentes quantidades de dosagem. Para saber quanto você precisa aplicar a seu animal de estimação você deve monitorar seu peso.

Unlike oral treatments, spot-ons such as Advantage are not absorbed into your pet’s bloodstream. Fleas are killed on contact with your pet’s skin, instead of when they bite. Adult fleas are killed as they emerge, breaking the breeding cycle and helping to control flea infestations.

Advantage also helps to reduce flea allergy dermatitis on pets, and control biting lice on dogs.
