Say goodbye to pesky fleas with Advantus (imidacloprid). This powerful flea treatment provides fast and effective relief for your furry friend. A single dose of Advantus soft chews starts killing adult fleas within one hour. And it's out of their system in 24-hours,* so your dog can get back to enjoying life.
If there are fleas in your dog's environment and your dog becomes re-infested, you can safely repeat treatment as often as once per day. Although it does not prevent fleas, the active ingredient, imidacloprid, is a potent insecticide that works to kill fleas when they bite your dog. When fleas ingest the product, the active ingredient over-stimulates the flea's nervous system and kills the flea. Advantus soft chews should not replace your dog's flea and tick prevention. For monthly flea and tick prevention for dogs, consider Advantage II, Seresto or K9 Advantix II for dogs.
Designed for dogs and puppies aged 10 weeks and older and weighing between 4 and 22 lbs., Advantus is a convenient and savory soft chew that can be given to your dog directly by placing it in their mouth or having them take it from your hand. It's available without a prescription, so you can immediately begin treating your dog's flea infestation. Advantus is also available for larger dogs ranging in weight between 23 and 110 lbs.
For best results, use Advantus at the first sign of fleas. Advantus fights fleas fast, providing relief within the hour. Follow the label instructions carefully, and keep out of reach of children and pets. For complete directions for use and safety information, see product label.

Title: Works great
Review: Works great when I remember to give them to the dog. I previously used a prescription version that was once a month, so converting to a daily has taken some time to get into the habit. We have rats, cats. rabbits, raccoons and opossums constantly bringing the threat of fleas back into the yard so being able to refill this without a vet visit for continuing use has been great.

Title: They Work
Review: My little Chihuahua was miserable and doesn't do well with the topical applications. She is back to her playful and happy self now. There was no chemical smell, it didn't irritate her sensitive skin at all and she's not scratching...

Title: works but to small of quantity / short lived relief.
Review: Worked pretty good , saw some dead fleas fall off after about an hour or so. My dog gobbles them up like anything else. The downside is that they only last a day per each dose so its short lived, the quantity could be more for the price not worth buying every week. If you live in flea infested environments that attracts fleas or ticks you are better off getting your pet prescribed medicine.

Title: Not worth it
Review: You will be sorely disappointed in the lack of results and the wasted money spent on a product that simply does not deliver on its promises. Save yourself the trouble and look for a more effective solution elsewhere, as this one falls short in every aspect. Your pets deserve the best care possible, and this product fails to provide that in any way. Don't waste your time or money on something that won't truly help your furry companions in the long run.

Title: Amazing product
Review: These chewable pills are amazing. I cannot believe how well they worked. I have 3 yorkies and 1 Shih-tzu and they were suffering bad with flea infestation. My one yorkie was so miserable I just had to find something that worked fast on him. I gave each dog one each and I couldn’t believe how fast it started working. Last night was the first time that my dogs slept really well and not one of them scratched or chewed themselves up. I will now always keep these chewable’s on hand.
