Expert Tips523In case of heavy flea infestation, repeat the treatment earlier than 4 weeks. Do not allow your dog get immediately after treatment. At least wait for 24 hours for high efficacy.
What Veterinarian Says524The non-odor formulation is an advantage to other products. It kills fleas and larvae swiftly without any side-effects. This also eliminates chances of flea allergy dermatitis. Treating many dogs and puppies with Advantage, I found that it is highly reliable as provides quick relief from the signs of skin conditions caused due to flea bites. Except the fact that it does not kill ticks, Advantage works best providing full flea protection for one month. It's quite a popular product and vet's #1 choice due to its effectiveness. The potent combination of adulticide and insect growth regulator makes it work against not only adult fleas and ticks but also flea life cycle. In 99.9 cases, re-infestation is under control when Frontline Plus is used monthly without any breaks. It is usually recommended to use this product even in winters to protect against flea and tick infestation during the onset of summers.
