Why two months of flea prevention for cats matters

Indoor and outdoor cats alike can get fleas, and a single flea can lay up to 50 eggs in one day. Advantage XD for cats starts working in as little as 30 minutes to 4 hours and kills adult fleas through contact before they have a chance to lay eggs. One treatment remains effective for two months, outlasting the typical six-week flea life cycle.

How to apply Advantage™ XD for cats 

1. How to open

Remove one applicator tube from the tray. Hold applicator tube in an upright position and open applicator tube by twisting the nozzle tip.

2. How to apply

Part the hair on the neck at the base of the head until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the tube directly above the skin and squeeze the tube 2-4 times to expel the contents of the tube directly on the skin.

3. Where to apply

For best results, apply at the base of the head, not between shoulder blades. Avoid getting the product in your cat’s eyes or mouth. Treatment at the base of the head will minimize the opportunity for the cat to directly lick the product.
