To give advantus™, place the soft chew directly in your dog’s
mouth or allow your dog to take the soft
chew from your hand. Watch closely to ensure your dog swallows the
soft chew.
A single dose kills adult fleas on your dog. Because advantus™ does
not have an effect on fleas in the
environment, your dog may become re-infested with fleas. If your dog
becomes reinfested, you can
safely repeat treatment as often as once a day. Contact your
veterinarian if you have any questions about
flea infestations on your dog.
Treat all pets in your household with a flea protection product.
advantus™ should only be given to
dogs.
