Keep your medium-sized dog comfortable and free from fleas with Advantage Flea Treatment for Dogs 4kg to 10kg. This fast-acting, easy-to-apply monthly spot-on treatment, brought to you by the trusted Advantage brand from Elanco, is specifically formulated for dogs weighing between 4kg and 10kg.
Fleas are a common problem for dogs, causing irritation, itching, and potentially leading to Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD). Advantage offers a highly effective solution by quickly killing fleas on contact and preventing re-infestation, helping to ensure your dog's comfort and well-being.
What it Treats:
Advantage for Dogs 4kg to 10kg is effective for the treatment and prevention of:
- Adult Fleas: Rapidly kills fleas present on your dog.
- Flea Larvae: Kills larval flea stages in the environment surrounding your dog (such as bedding and favorite resting spots) after contact with shed skin and hair from the treated dog, disrupting the flea lifecycle.
- Chewing Lice: Also aids in the control of chewing lice infestations.
How it Works:
The active ingredient in Advantage is Imidacloprid. This powerful insecticide works by contact, meaning fleas are killed without having to bite your dog. This provides rapid relief, with fleas stopping biting within minutes of application and adult fleas typically killed within hours.
Specifics for Dogs 4kg to 10kg:
This variant is precisely dosed for dogs in the 4kg to 10kg weight range, containing 1.0 mL of the active solution in each single-dose pipette.
Application and Frequency:
Advantage is a convenient spot-on treatment. Simply part your dog's fur on the back of their neck, at the base of the skull, and apply the entire contents of the pipette directly to the skin. For consistent and effective flea control, apply once a month, every month, throughout the year.
Key Benefits:
- Fast-Acting: Stops fleas from biting quickly (within 3-5 minutes) and rapidly kills adult fleas.
- Breaks the Flea Lifecycle: Kills flea larvae in the environment, helping to prevent new infestations.
- Waterproof: Remains effective even after exposure to water from bathing (using a soap-free shampoo and after the application site is dry), swimming, or rain.
- Easy to Apply: Simple and convenient monthly spot-on application.
- Also Controls Lice: Provides additional protection against chewing lice.
- Helps Reduce FAD: By quickly killing fleas and reducing bites, it helps alleviate the symptoms of Flea Allergy Dermatitis.
- Safe: Can be used on puppies from birth (generally recommended from 7-8 weeks or through treating the mother), as well as pregnant and lactating dogs.
Important Considerations:
Advantage for Dogs 4kg to 10kg is a targeted treatment for fleas and lice. It does not provide protection against ticks, heartworm, or other types of intestinal worms. For comprehensive parasite control, consult your veterinarian to discuss a complete parasite prevention plan suitable for your dog's needs and lifestyle.
Keep your dog in the 4kg to 10kg weight range protected and comfortable year-round with the reliable flea control of Advantage.
