It's important to note that only a small percentage of fleas (5%) reside on the pet, with the majority (95%) in the surrounding environment such as carpets and bedding. Therefore, treating your home alongside your pet is crucial if fleas are detected. Advantage flea treatment for dogs, cats, and rabbits provides a rapid solution, killing fleas within 24 hours. It offers protection for cats and dogs for up to 4 weeks, and for rabbits for up to one week. Once applied to the skin's surface, Advantage quickly distributes over the pet's coat, without being absorbed into the body or bloodstream. This mechanism ensures that fleas are killed upon contact, even before they bite. Additionally, Advantage is effective in treating biting lice on dogs. Please be aware that online orders for rabbit flea and worm treatments are not currently available. For rabbit treatments, please visit our PetCare Centres. You can use the 'Find our Store' feature to locate your nearest center.
