Fleas

Pets just hate fleas!– flea bites are terrible nuisance and can cause an aggravating skin condition called flea allergy dermatitis. One little flea bite can trigger intense itching...and its not just pets who suffer, left uncontrolled, fleas can quickly breed to create and unwelcome infestation in your home- a breeding pair of fleas could produce more than 20,000 fleas in 3 months, which is quite a disgusting thought.

 
The great news is there have been huge advances in flea control products over recent years and our pets need not suffer from fleas any more. Advantage applied just once a month kills fleas quickly and breaks their life cycle.
Its simple to use- you just squeeze the contents of a pre-measured tube onto the skin on the back of the pets neck and within 12 hours of applying advantage, 98-100% of fleas on your pet will be dead. Advantage also kills flea larva in the pets environment which eliminates the next generation of fleas before they reach breeding age.
While tough on fleas, its easy on your pet- it works by spreading rapidly over your pets skin. It is not absorbed into the blood stream but remains on the skin. It is so gentle that you can even use it on puppies and kitten.
 
With modern houses being heated all year round, fleas are becoming much more common during the winter months, so it is important to keep up your flea control all year round.
