What is Advantage - For Kittens & Small Cats up to 4kg?
Advantage containing the active ingredient imidacloprid is a topical flea treatment for small cats and kittens. Studies have shown the product can prevent fleas from biting within 3 to 5 minutes of the application and has an efficiency of killing 98% to 100% of fleas on cats within 12 hours. For a period of 1 month the solution will continue to kill fleas before they lay eggs, destroy 99% of flea larvae in the pet’s surrounding and kill fleas and larvae within 20 minutes of contact. The product is also waterproof so the pet can still be bathed or go swimming while using the treatment.
