This Bayer VPS medicine can also be used on kittens and puppies aged 8 weeks and older, on rabbits over the age of 10 weeks and for lactating females. Treatment of nursing females controls flea infestations on both mother and offspring. Advantage also kills flea larvae in the home, wherever the treated pet goes. One treatment of Advantage Spot On Solution will prevent further flea infestation for up to three to four weeks on cats and dogs. The fleas are killed within one day following treatment and to prevent further flea infestations, repeat the treatment of Advantage spot on monthly. It is also recommended that all pets in the household are treated for fleas at the same time. The fleas that you see on your pet are only a small portion of the infestation, 95% of the flea's life cycle occurs in your pet's environment. In order to stop an existing flea problem you must deal with the flea larvae in your home, carpets, floorings, upholstery and bedding. Re-infestation from flea larvae in the environment may continue to occur for six weeks or longer after the initial treatment. More than one treatment may therefore be required, depending on the level of fleas in the environment. This product can only be purchased on subscription.

Skin irritation at application site
Temporary mild irritation may occur. If severe redness, swelling, or signs of an allergic reaction develop, wash the area with mild soap and water and consult a veterinarian. Avoid applying to broken skin.
Pet seems unwell after application
Monitor your pet closely. If unusual lethargy, vomiting, or neurological signs occur, contact a veterinarian immediately. Ensure the product was applied correctly and not ingested.
Fleas are still visible after 24 hours
