Flea Medicine For Dogs






     My dog used to get fleas every summer season like clockwork. As soon as the weather started warming up, she'd start scratching. The scratching got so bad at times that her hair would fall out in certain areas, revealing skin that was red and raw. I of course did everything I could to try to control the problem. Shampoos, dips, special collars, oral medications -- you name it, I tried it. Nothing seemed to work until my vet recommended Advantage flea medicine.

the flea medicine is different from all the other brands I've ever tried on my pet. For one thing, the active ingredient in the flea medicine didn't seem to irritate my dog's skin any more than it already was. In addition, unlike other products that can take hours to work (if they ever do), this flea medicine starts working within minutes. At first, I just thought that was a promotional line that the company prints on its labels in order to get consumers to try the product. But after using this flea medicine on my pet, I could see that the claim was legitimate. My dog seemed to scratch much less frequently after the cream was applied, and after several hours, the difference was even more noticeable.

Another thing I like about Advantage flea medicine is that it's so easy to use. The directions are clearly printed on the tube, and all I have to do is apply the pre-measured dose once a month between my dog's shoulders. Unlike other topical creams, Advantage flea medicine doesn't make a big mess and doesn't leave my dog's hair all greasy and slimy. These monthly applications help ensure that eggs and larvae get destroyed along with adult fleas. As a result, fleas are attacked at all stages of their life cycles, which means they will be gone for good after only a few applications.

As you might expect, Advantage flea medicine is pricier than other brands. Let's just say that you get what you pay for here! I initially purchased Advantage flea medicine from my vet, which is what the manufacturer recommends. This is due to the fact that the vet must measure out the monthly dosages based on the pet's weight. But after a while, I started noticing that more and more online veterinary supply stores were offering Advantage flea medicine at huge discounts. I was able to save 50 percent off my order when going through one of these websites, which made a substantial difference for me since my dog required the treatments month after month. In fact, if it wasn't for this discount, I might not be able to continue providing Advantage flea medicine for my dog, so it's a good thing I found that great deal!

If your pets are suffering from fleas, I suggest trying Advantage flea medicine. It works faster and lasts longer than any other flea control product I've ever used.
