Advantage for Dogs

Excellent results – I have been using Frontline as a treatment for my dogs for years and results have been mixed. I recently used Advantage on all three dogs and the results are amazing, no itching or scratching at all after 24hrs. Considering these results I will treat again in 1month if required with Advantage.

Disappointed with avantage – If I could give a No star I would! My dogs and cats still have fleas it been two or three weeks since I applied the flea treatment and my dogs & cats are still itching and a flea jumped on me while he was laying on my lap. I never had a problem with the AVantage not working but I guess they’re making everything cheap nowadays. I want my money back… Read more

since this product is no longer effective. I had to buy small dog and medium dog and small cat of AVantage treatment spent about $200. All of them are still bothered by fleas ! This is supposed to be a guarantee product or money back. I want my money back where is the advantage customer service phone number how can I locate this number ! Very disappointed.

Works well – I have used this a few times now for my greyhound. I have had no issues of any side effects. The guy at the pet store said Advantage only prevents fleas, it doesn’t kill them. So basically he was saying it doesn’t work once your dog has fleas. This turned out to be FALSE. Applied Advantage around midday, the next day all fleas are gone. This stuff works great for my greyhound. Can’t speak for all dogs, but it works well from my perspective. Show details

Works Great – I have a small poodle and this product is the only one that works for my dog. After just one day all the fleas are dead and my dog is itch free.

Advantage for dogs...instant relief – I kept blaming my dogs skin condition on allergies, even though I should of known better...one day only on Advantage, and it was like night and day...although I knew my dog did not have fleas I could see, and she was not itching, she did have lesions and scabs all over her back, and just an overall nasty skin condition...obviously, she did have… Read more

flea dermatitis...which I suspected, but kept holding off, again thinking allergies. Advantage took care of it, no problem, no effort...my dog is at peace (ps...I did break my back and wash everything in my house from top to bottom, the same day to make sure I allowed the Advantage to take full effect). That is a must, clean, clean, or you will just spin your wheels...A happy dog is a happy owner!

Reduced quantity? – I have been using Advantage on my 2 cats (large) and dog (medium) for over 15 years. Once applied, the backs of their necks were wet for a couple of days. I've noticed in the last year that there is hardly any liquid in the tubes; on several occasions, I actually thought the cat tubes were empty. Show details

Advantage - Fail – I persisted with Advantage touch on flea treatment for a few years. I had constant flea bites around my ankles. I was reluctant to give my dogs an oral flea treatment. Fed up with the constant itching, I finally made the switch to NexGard. No more fleas. It's been 3 months of joy and the sores on my legs are finally healing. Show details

Advantage is useless – One month later and fleas all over the house and dogs plus my dog had diarrhea. Please people this does not work. Please it must be taken off the market. Show details

mariana corcoran – Many years ago I used Advantage ion all my pets and worked wonders however on the 13 th January 2020 I used it on all my 4 babies and st Bernard and two e two weeks later still fleas. Very disappointed . What is the reason for that Mariana Coprcoran sorry should be Corcoran Show details

Never again – Within 12 hours of applying Advantage to my dog he became restless, agitated and was jumping at his own shadow. Soon after, he started eating grass and vomiting, so was obviously nauseous. The agitation lasted for over 24 hours, and the vomiting went on day and night for 4 solid days, he got us up through the night to take him out so he could eat… Read more

grass and vomit. It got rid of the fleas, but we got horrible side effects. I'm going to try natural remedies from this point forward and will try and avoid putting chemicals on my dog at all costs. I will be getting an amber collar, and have ordered Greenpet Fleeze Supplement. I'm seeing this a warning sign, he recovered from his symptoms, but i fear next time he won't be so lucky, just not worth risking it again..

Terrible..do not recommend – We put on as directed about 2 hours later, our dog shiztu bichon became agitated, running, rolling, panting, scratching, crying and no appetite drinks when water is put in front of him, this is now 3 full days he hasn’t stopped . We took him back to the vet and he was give allergy medication and he’s had 4 pills and no relief. I highly do not recommend this product. Show details

This is horrible hi – Applied to two of my dogs. One got some relief for two weeks, the other scratched continually, red skin, allergic reaction. Cats were just as bad. Do not buy it at all Show details

Irritated my dogs skin – Do not buy this! My poor 6month old pup was irritated by this all afternoon, was acting so strange and he was so uncomfortable, we had to wash him and we will again on the morning. My vet friend said she never recommends this and it can be very irritable for your pets skin. I feel terrible our poor pup was in pain and irritated by this all afternoon! They shouldn’t be selling it if it does this to lots of pets. Show details

Recent Purchase at My Pet Warehouse – I recently purchased this product for my two dogs. This product does not work and was very disappointing with no effect to either dog. I highly recommend that you do not waste your money.

Waste of money! – Would never buy this product again. Never had an issue with advocate or activyl. Less than 3 weeks of using this, my dog scratched his skin red raw and I had to remove 3 fleas. I was advised I didn't need to wait 4 weeks to use another pipette (in fact apparently I could use weekly!!!!). After using another pipette last Sunday, we are now on Friday I have today removed another 2 fleas and he has been scratching all week. Terrible product!

My dog suffered a chemical burn – I have a 12 year old husky and have always used either frontline or advantage. This time I used advantage. After five days we noticed a nasty spot right where I applied the medicine. Her thick fur covered it. We put her in the tub to rinse it and her hair began to fall out. It was a mass of stinky green gunk. I will never ever use a topical on any of my animals.

Pretty good – We have been using this for yrs. it has always worked even the one time he did have fleas. I used it on my border collie dog it’s easy to use but my dog hates it. And always tried to get away. There has been no side effects. I was told by the vet tho that the fleas are immune to it now tho.

This failed – The vet applied Advantage to my new puppy within days of her coming home and the fleas not only persisted, but multiplied in number. This product failed completely, despite a very experienced vet applying it according to directions.

Doesn't work – This product does not work I have used it several times & my dogs still have fleas I had followed instructions & bathed them in flea shampoo 2 days before & sprayed their kennels & put brand new bedding in & they still got fleas

Manufacturer merged with Monsanto – The manufacturer of this product Bayer has recently merged with Monsanto. I will avoid all products by Bayer from now on. Some other products by Bayer are Advantix, Advocate, Drontal, Kiltix, Seresto and Vetadine but there are more.

dosnt last – Thought I would try Avantage flea treatment worked fast but only lasted 2weeks .Better to pay the extra price and buy Bravecto it really works and lasts 3 months .Great product

Ineffective and a complete waste of money and time – I wish I read the reviews before buying the product. We have a 9.5 kg West Highland White Terrier (Westie) and bought the Advantage Flea treatment for dogs 4 - 10 kg. We applied the treatment as per the directions on the pack. It is supposed to be reapplied on a monthly basis but less than three weeks later, whilst having our westie groomed, the… Read more

groomer noticed active fleas on our Westie. Our Groomer also mentioned that Advantage burnt her Westie's skin and she now uses an oral treatment (our vet also recommended that oral treatment). I suggest that Bayer Advantage is a complete waste of time and money. I would not recommend this product and strongly recommend you look at alternatives.

Doesn't do anything. Made a phone call and all they told me don't take your dogs to the woods joke! – It's a joke advantage used to be good but not now made a phone call and they told me no woods for the dogs what a joke. I made another call and they said they would send me some more but they sent it to my vet 1 packet I spent 200 pounds on this product in the last 2 months. What a joke as I am 66 years young. Don't buy advantage they are rubbish, the staff are too.

Not bad – I have bought this a few times but I'm not sure if it really lasts a month, and I have a dog who is allergic to flea bites so it is pretty bad when we get them. I think he still gets the odd one and it hasn't been a month of using it so I'm not really certain of its effectiveness!

Do not buy this product! – Don't buy Advantage ii. This product doesn't work. I've bought Advantage products for as long as I can remember and never had an issue until now. This product not only will not kill the fleas it seems to make them multiply. I called and spoke with customer service from Bayer and they made up every excuse to not make it there issue. I will never… Read more

use or recommend there product to anyone. If you like having a flea infestation this would be your product!! THIS PRODUCT IS JUNK AND DOES NOT WORK!!

Ok product – I gave my cavalier this topical when I found a few fleas on her. She has the flea bite allergy so she's miserable from one bite. I found a couple of live fleas two days later. I haven't found anymore but she's still pretty itchy. I don't know what to use..

Totally toxic and potentially lethal! – This stuff is just plain dangerous! Our dog is seriously affected when this junk is applied! We did not initially make the connection between application and behaviour, but when we applied a second dose the penny dropped! she became agitated, hyperactive, neither states are normal for her, and she was extremely restless for around 12 hours.… Read more

Getting up and pacing and sitting and panting, extreme restlessness was distressing for her. We washed this junk off but the effects lasted for 12 hours. We mentioned this to her Vet and this type of reaction had been noted in other dogs. We have changed brand and chemicals. Not recommended.

Another useless Flea treatment – considering how much these treatments cost, it has never worked on any of my dogs and have tried it at various times over many years. Don't bother
