Important Information
Fleas rise to the top of your pet's coat as they die, so consider it a triumph if you start seeing more fleas at first, after treating your pet. If you’re still seeing fleas after application, it may be because your pet has picked up new fleas from the environment, which may include other pets, surfaces and outdoor areas. It may take up to 30 days to break the entire flea life cycle. Additionally, you should also treat sources of new fleas (i.e., carpet, yard, etc.) to ensure complete flea control.

Works great
By Cewa on Apr 26, 2021
So far, so good. We've used this stuff for years and have had good experiences to date. The chews are SOO much better than the greasy goo we used to put on our doggo's fur. Yuck on the goo! Go chews!

Great Product
By mojo on Apr 9, 2021
Advantus works really well. Give tablet once a week and no fleas or ticks and no side affects for small dogs unlike some of the flea collars.

works great
By Pamj on Jan 4, 2021
I bought for my little dog as she was scratching and it was not time for another topical application. She had no fleas I could see so I did not think it was bad infection. So I gave her these and in less than four days the scratching was gone. Do not know if she had just picked up one or two outside and brought in on her, but it stopped and now I have these for if it happens again in spring.
