Advantage Topical Cat Flea Treatment and Prevention for Small Cats 2-9 lbs. | Apply Flea Drops Monthly | 2 Treatments

My rat got infested with rat lice. At first, I thought it was fleas. I removed all blankets from the room, stuffed animals, vacuumed and bagged it all up. Upon looking at the insect under a microscope, I discovered it was actually lice. Thankfully, rat lice is specific to rats, so I did not have to worry about them contaminating the room. While I am not a vet, I am an RN, and am fairly thorough with my research to weigh out whether this is something I can risk treating at home vs bringing to the vet. While scanning through many sources, this was the only OTC treatment available in the US that was recommended. So, for my 1lb rat, I added 1 drop to the nape of his neck and put him back in his cage. I did not handle him or change his bedding for a few days. It worked fast, and cured my rat of the lice. The nits that were on his fur died, but they act like glue clinging to the shaft and will stay there as brown specks. After 2 months, I did bathe him and used a fine tooth comb with improvement. It says that you may have to re-treat in 6 weeks because of the life-cycle of the insect. I did not have to do this. *Again- not a vet here, and not trying to pose as one. If you don’t have an exotic vet near you for your rat, or can’t afford to go to one— I think at least be sure you are confident about identifying the type of insect infestation, know the approximate weight of your rat, and research videos on how to apply this first. For me, this was a life saver- effective treatment, easy to use, inexpensive.

Got rid of fleas with no adverse reaction in 24 hours of my stray kitten i took in.

Worked well we have a simease cat like 5lbs got rid of all the fleas and hes sleeping with us again without scratching

Pretty easy to use, has a pretty pungent smell but it goes away after a day or two but it works great! My kitten went from at least 10-20 fleas every time we brushed her to basically none now! She is an indoor cat though.

So I was nervous about putting this on two rescue kittens who were quite frail and underweight. They had giant fleas, I mean these suckers were corn fed! I did a lot of reading before choosing this one, based on others recommendations. It's easy to apply just like any other liquid flea medicine on the nape of the neck. I nervously monitored them, they did fine. Absolutely no side effects, no changes in appetite or behavior, no neurological side effects. Within the next two weeks I took them for vet check, and they had no fleas or poop in their fur. It worked great! This only kills existing fleas, it does not handle the cycle so you have to re-treat. If you want something that handles the cycle, you have to go with a more expensive product. If you are like me and love the cats but not rich, this is a great short-term option that is affordable. I'm very happy with it!

Great for the price no issues with my cat

Value for money: If you cannot afford the Advantage II, it will kill some fleas but is not as effective. Flea control: Since this product doesn’t kill eggs, it is not as good as Advantage II. My cats were still scratching, though slightly less than with no product. And because it is summer, this only lasts about two weeks. So it helps somewhat if you’re in a pinch and can’t afford the better version, but if money is not an issue, buy the Advantage II which kills both flea eggs and adult fleas.

Works for our overweight, mature cat every time!
