Advantage For Cats

Product works well to control fleas. Easy to apply and lasts for a while.

Pros: Good Product

Cons: n/a

I primarily utilize Frontline Plus for my dogs and cats, but I have used Advantage when I fostered a cat who was allergic to some of the components in Frontline. Apparently, the formulation is different enough that Advantage is a good alternative if you have a pet sensitive to certain chemicals.

Advantage is definitely effective, but it's only good for up a month while Frontline advertises flea prevention for up to three. With the current increase of Frontline immunity in the flea population though, Advantage may be a better alternative until some of the new flea/tick products such as Comfortis are fully tested.

While it's not my flea/tick preventative of choice, Advantage is still a safe, effective product, and it's worth what you pay for it. There's a reason that vets only have actively supported it and Frontline for sale in their offices.

Pros: Available at vets and many online retailers, packaing easier to open

Cons: Shorter effectiveness than Frontline but price is comparable
