Advecta Plus Cat Flea Treatment 9+ lbs, Imidacloprid, 4-Month

I got this flea treatment to treat my multiple indoor cats after they ended up with fleas. I used this in conjunction with Capstar, and all the fleas are gone! There were no side effects, and it worked quickly. My cats are happy to be flea free, and I haven’t seen anymore fleas on them since. It was easy to use, no scent, and absorbed quickly. It was affordable compared to other options, and I will continue to get this for my cats!

I have 3 cats and this is the only product that works on all three of them. My male cat has had flea problems for years despite continually being on treatments. I change the medication 6 times over the year and nothing worked till this product. There’s been no side effects that I’ve observed, except for the smell and how long it takes the medication to fully be adsorbed. But honestly the only downside of that is I can pet my cats neck for 2 days. Will be purchasing again.

I've been using Advecta Plus for a few years now and am generally pleased with its performance. Like many flea treatments of this sort, it is applied between the cat's shoulder blades to prevent licking while it is still wet. I've never seen any adverse skin reaction when used. It's supposed to last for four weeks, but I've noticed a drop off in effectiveness after about three weeks. This year where I live we didn't have a hard freeze which means the flea population has exploded putting much stress on my cats. Advecta flea treatment mitigates their discomfort, but because of how this medicine works the fleas don't die until they have already bitten your cat. That single bite still causes the kitty irritation and slight scabbing on the bitten area. I help relieve this distress for my cats by combing them out daily with a fine-tooth stainless steel flea comb. I very seldom find any fleas at all, but the comb does pick up quite a bit of dander and scabs from the bites. However, it does its job well and the good news is the fleas don't stick around and fester on my kitties. This also means they aren't scratching and biting on themselves nearly so much which improves their overall appearance, leaving their fur much shinier and soft. I recommend Advecta, it's a good product.

This works well for my cat! Did the job! Worth the money!

Finally found something that works. I have been talking about this for over a year. Not this product, but flea traetments. I have gone through Frontline Plus (best, but after two weeks, fleas start to appear), PetArmor Plus (same ingr. as Frontline Plus, but for some reason it was dropping effectiveness after a week), BioSpot (no, just no, didn't do a thing), Adam's Flea and Tick Spray (really great if you do it every two week, but the smell in the house can get potent and the cat being a little wild still was yeah, haha), and Adam's Flea and Tick drops (nothing, terrible). It's our backyard that is the problem. The rats have been using our neighborhood as a place to go through. They bring fleas all over the place. I don't like to use harsh sprays because of the birds we always have around, and the dogs use the backyard a lot. Well, I finally can say that it's been almost two weeks and this product is still going strong. I'm getting the cat version for the cat now because she was on Revolution from the vet, but I'd rather something I can purchase at a lower price and on my own, without going to the vet. I have two dogs who get an allergic reaction really bad from just one flea bite. I have noticed that with my older dog, she is sleeping better and finally has stopped scratching. I was having to do quite a lot to ease her pain. For her, even if the flea bit her days ago, she'd still be scratching. I thought it was environmental and now I see that the allergy itchies just keep up for days after. A note about this product though. I live in Washington state. You may have a hit or miss with effectiveness depending on where you live, and how many pets you have. This one worked for me. I'm seriously overjoyed with this product. And the best part is the affordability. I have been watching the Advantage II but it was just too expensive for me with all the animals I have to dose. But this one is GREAT. None of the dogs got sick and what I reallllllly liked was that it absorbed within hours. The BioSpot stayed slimy the entire month. But Advecta had no reactions (some of our dogs are extremely sensitive) and it absorbed fast. There was no scent to it. If you have a question, feel free to ask.

The product does a halfway descent job, but even into week 2, 3 and 4 during a flea comb check there's still live adult and juvenile fleas. My biggest problem is my 33 pounder who just seems loaded even after treatment. I don't think 9lbs and over is meant to treat a cat his size. The other 3 cats are between 15-18 pounds. I think if the product worked on my 33 pounder my flea problem with flea treatment and spraying floors and bedding would go away. I would love feedback on how to treat XXL cats with flea treatment and actually have it work on flea control.

I really like this to control the fleas on my cats. Works great

So this is the flea protection we have been using on our cat for over a year now. At first it worked great. The past 2 months of treatment have not been working to rid our cat of fleas. Disappointed.

Works well as intended
