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 works quickiest when it comes to killing fleas and ticks. The broad spectrum parasiticide covers various parasites along with repelling mosquitoes and flies. The best is that it also covers maggots.
