Advantage XD Flea Control for Cats

Description

Advantage® XD Flea Control for Cats is a long-lasting topical flea treatment that provides up to 2 months of continuous flea protection with a single application. Formulated with spinetoram, it kills fleas through contact, so fleas do not have to bite your cat to die.

Designed for cats and kittens 8 weeks of age and older weighing at least 1.8 pounds, Advantage XD begins working within 30 minutes to 4 hours and helps prevent reinfestation by providing continuous protection for up to 8 weeks. The fragrance-free formula is available in weight-specific applicators for convenient dosing.
