I have a short haired female cat my question I buy advantage 2 4 month dose after it's all done what is the waiting period between applications before I start the treatment again?
Our indoor cat is 7, a very large ragdoll. 10kg. we applied his treatment 2 weeks ago. We’ve always used advantage on him. Our issue is, we’re concerned that it was not completely worked, due to his size.
BTW when he’s hit with fleas...... he loves being vacuumed, whenever possible. If the vacuum is being used in another room, he cries at me till I let him in, and he goes straight for it, nudging it on him, so we take the top off and vacuum him often.
Anyway, this time, when we put his treatment on him, we put half behind his neck and half at the base of his tail where all the fleas congregate. Two places he is unable to groom, so he can’t ingest it. Now It seems they migrated to his legs and under his stomach. Just wanting to know if giving him a half a dose would be okay.
How soon after treatment can cats be let out?
I will like to know has the scent of advantage change in any way because it smell like roses and I dont remember that it smell like roses very confuse here?
I have used Advantage on my cats for many years without problems. Last year I did notice that my Turkish Van cat lost some fur on her shoulders but I didn't connect that with using Advantage. But this year this has a big bald red patch directly where I put some on her shoulders and a day or so later a smaller balding area on her head, again where Advantage was applied. So does that mean she needs to be treated with another product now she is sensitive to this? What would you recommend? Being longhaired it is hard to rid her of fleas and she is out a lot so does seem to get them all summer. She doesn't mind being washed as she likes water but does flea rid soap work?
I accidentally bought the Advantage II for large cats. My cats are just under 9 lbs. will this hurt them?
so what happened
I used it. They were actually only 7-8 lbs at the time, but it didn’t make them sick at all. Now both cats are over 10 lbs, 11 months old.
can i let my cat outside after treatment?
Yes. But I would wait a few days for the treatment to kick in.
Hi. I put 2 doses of advantage cat at the same time. I did not read the restrictions. Can this have any consequences on my cat?
Did your cat vomit? I’m thinking that would happen.
Why am I seeing two different packages for advantage ii for large cats, what is the difference?
What are the risks of giving to dosages in two days?
I accidently bought the Advantage for under 4kg cats when my cat is over 4kg. Can I still use this or would it be harmful to her? She's an old cat.
I used Advantage on my 22 year old cat. I saw 1 flea on my dog so the vet office said I should treat all animals. 2 days later my cat died. Could this be due to the flea medication?
Hi lits,
I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. You should ask your vet if they've heard of similar cases. I have heard of seizures and other bad reactions to some cheaper flea medications but not death as a result.
Best of luck

I put advantage 2 on my cat, the next day I took her to vet with eye problem. Vet put advantage multi on her. One day apart. Will this hurt her?
Hi, best to check in with your vet if you have concerns but if the eye problem existed BEFORE the flea treatment then it is unlikely to impact. Just observe your cat for any adverse symptoms of the Advantage - the multi kills worms as well but honestly how many times is worming needed? Especially those of us who have indoor cats - where are the worms supposed to be coming from?? If you give your pet human grade meat you should be able to avoid parasites from food! and tin food has been heat treated so presumably no worms there either...it could all be a marketing gimmick to scare us into thinking our poor little fluffies are riddled with parasites! Of course if your fluffy goes outside it might be another story - best do your own research and consult another vet for a second opinion if you are not happy with any answers.
