이미지 출처 정말이에요, Jon Snow. 사랑하는 반려동물에게 솜털 같은 코트를 입힌다고 해서 벼룩과 이가 생기는 것을 막을 수는 없답니다… 말 그대로 코트 말이에요. 용감하고, 잘생기고, 엉뚱한 Jon Snow.
다행히 Jon과 우리 모두를 위해 대표적인 치료제 Advantage를 쉽게 구할 수 있습니다. 생후 7주 이상의 개와 생후 8주 이상의 고양이는 물론, 토끼와 페럿에게도 사용할 수 있습니다. 임신 또는 수유 중인 동물에게도 안전합니다. 반려동물이 약을 복용 중이거나 이미 다른 살충제를 사용하고 있는 경우, 혹은 저체중이거나 고령 또는 쇠약한 상태라면 반드시 수의사와 상담하세요.
Advantage는 마비 작용을 통해 성충 벼룩과 유충을 빠르게 죽이며(알에는 효과가 없음), 반려동물이 가장 싫어하는 기생충의 생활사를 끊어 줍니다.
도포 후 벼룩과 이의 신경계가 공격받습니다. Advantage와 접촉한 지 몇 분 만에 마비되어 죽으며, 효과를 위해 반려동물을 물 필요조차 없습니다. 벼룩은 도포 후 5분 안에 물기를 멈추고, 접촉 후 20분 이내에 죽습니다. Advantage는 도포 후 12시간 내에 기존 벼룩의 98~100%를 죽이고, 반려동물 주변 환경에 있는 벼룩 유충의 99%를 제거합니다.
Advantage는 사용이 간편하며 한 달 동안 효과가 지속됩니다. 방수 기능도 있어 목욕이나 수영 후, 웅덩이나 진흙에서 한바탕 뒹군 뒤(누군지 아시죠!), 혹은 비 오는 날과 폭풍을 좋아하는 반려동물에게도 계속 효과가 있습니다.
개나 고양이의 털을 가르고 피부에 도포하면 피부의 유분층 전체로 퍼집니다. 반려동물의 체중에 따라 다양한 용량을 선택할 수 있습니다. 반려동물에게 맞는 용량을 구매하고 모든 사용 지침을 정확히 따르세요. 반려동물의 체중을 직접 재거나 수의사에게 측정을 요청하세요. 단순히 추측으로 맞다고 생각되는 용량을 사용하지 마세요.
Advantage는 외용 치료제이므로 반려동물의 눈이나 입에 들어가서는 안 됩니다. 소형견과 중형견의 경우 핥을 수 없는 견갑골 사이 등 부위에 도포하고, 고양이의 경우 두개골 아래쪽에 도포합니다. 25kg을 초과하는 대형견의 경우에는 견갑골 사이, 엉덩이 사이의 등 부위, 그리고 그 중간 지점에 용량을 나누어 도포합니다.
모든 의학적 치료와 마찬가지로, 일부 동물에게는 개별적인 민감 반응이 나타날 수 있습니다. 도포 직후와 며칠 동안은 항상 반려동물을 관찰하세요. 이상 반응의 징후가 있거나 반려동물의 건강이 악화되면 즉시 수의사와 상담하세요.
탈모 및 피부 자극 특히 반려동물이 처음 치료를 받는 경우, 도포 부위에 가벼운 피부 자극이 생기는 것은 흔합니다. 털이 뻣뻣해지거나 젖어 보일 수 있고, 가려움, 붉어짐 또는 분홍빛 피부가 나타날 수 있으나 이는 일시적인 부작용입니다. 간혹 탈모가 발생하기도 합니다. 대개 일회성 증상이며 털은 1~2주 안에 다시 자랍니다. 탈모가 번지거나 털이 다시 자라지 않는다면 수의사와 상담하세요.
피부가 민감한 동물은 긁을 경우 출혈이 생길 수 있는 상처가 발생할 수 있으며, 상처가 갈라지거나 터지면 감염될 수 있습니다. 도포 부위를 정기적으로 확인하고 이러한 증상이 나타나면 수의사를 방문하세요.
약품 냄새 드물게 치료 후 반려동물에게 약품 같은 냄새가 난다고 느끼는 보호자도 있습니다. 이는 위험하거나 해로운 증상이 아니며, 도포 후 며칠에서 일주일 정도만 지속됩니다.
눈에 닿은 경우 반려동물의 눈에 치료제가 들어간 경우 즉시 충분한 물로 눈을 씻어 내고 수의사와 상담하세요.
드물지만 심각한 부작용 심각한 부작용은 드물며, 보통 제품의 활성 성분에 개별적인 민감성이나 알레르기가 있는 동물에게서만 발생하거나 제품을 실수로 섭취했거나 잘못 사용한 결과로 나타납니다. 증상은 빠르게 눈에 띄어야 하며, 아래 증상 중 하나라도 발견하면 어떤 경우든 즉시 동물병원의 진료를 받아야 합니다.
식욕 감소, 갈증 증가, 구토, 설사 또는 침 흘림 - 지침에 따라 반려동물의 입이 닿지 않는 곳에 Advantage를 도포하세요. 제품에는 쓴맛이 있어 핥거나 섭취하는 것을 막는 데 도움이 됩니다. 충분한 양을 섭취하면 위장 장애와 식욕 감소를 유발할 수 있습니다. 구토, 설사, 과도한 타액 분비, 침 흘림 및 갈증 증가는 과도한 섭취 또는 이상 반응을 나타냅니다.
동공 확장, 눈 자극 또는 눈물 분비 증가
호흡 곤란, 운동실조(움직임 문제), 비틀거림, 떨림 또는 발작
비정상적인 수면, 무기력 또는 무반응
이상 행동, 우울 또는 과잉행동
앞서 언급했듯이, 지침에 따라 도포할 경우 Advantage로 인한 심각한 반응은 매우 드문 것으로 알려져 있습니다. 추가 예방 조치로, 치료받은 동물이 자신의 도포 부위나 다른 동물의 도포 부위를 핥지 않도록 30~60분 동안 관찰하고 분리해 두는 것이 좋습니다. 그 외에는 Advantage가 사랑하는 반려동물이 벼룩과 이의 고층 아파트가 되는 일을 막아 주는 매우 간편하고 효과적인 치료제입니다.
if i feel like my cat is having a reaction, can i wash the area?

We used Advantage Multi on our otherwise healthy Chesapeake Bay Retruever for flea control. Within 12 hours he was covered with hot spots and within 24 hours he was blind and disoriented. Our vet says to NEVER use this product again. So now what?? My dear dog is now blind. My advice is, if you love your dog dont use this Advantage Multi. It’s poison to more than fleas. Oh and did I mention it causes reproductive issues? So much for my breeding program now. He was the end of a line and now it’s over. No hunting, no swimming. We will learn to work with his blindness. This company needs to stop making this product.
Rebecca Smith
I used this on my 1 yr old Siamese cat, never again. He had hair loss at application site. Hair grew back, so gave him a 2nd app months later. He had a severe reaction, drooling, lethargic, jaw tremors. It all happened 4 to 5 days after applying the Advantage II. I was told if I attempt it again, my pecious Mac will die.
Charles Edward
My chihuahua is having an extreme reaction to advantage multi administered 2 days ago. Eye swelling, ear irritation, head tilting, diarrhea, lethargy, tremors, rapid breathing. This isn’t the first time he’s had a reaction but it’s abaolutly terrifying. I’ll never give any of my dogs including my other two this poison ever again. We are prepared to take him to the emergency vets, called and have everything arranged Incase his breathing turns rapid again tonight. He’s sleeping now and we are praying it will just wear itself off by tomorrow. This product is 100% toxic. Do not believe what anyone tells you, even vets. My poor little buddy is a victim of this toxic marketing ploy. I’ll never give them this crap ever again and I’ll tell every single person I know what it caused my dog to experience.
Do not give advantage multi to any animal, period.
Louise
My Binky after advantage is sitting quietly then jumps up runs and hisses I don’t know what to do
Allison Turner
Advantage dog flea treatment.
Sarah Peacock
Hi, I am not using Advantage mullti but just Advantage on my dog, do you think this is ok?
sarh peacock
What about Advantage, not Advantage multi please? Advantage multi has two ingredients, Advantage only one, Imedacloprid.
Charles
After our experience we don’t use any of these things on our dogs. Never again.
There are holistic versions made of essential oils we have instead. We will never use these toxic medicines in our dogs ever again. Lesson learned.

Advantage II Cat Flea Treatment is dangerous. I used the product on my cat properly....for the correct weight small cat, first application in 5 yrs, indoor cat, no dogs in house to also lick, applied on back of neck, was healthy cat, seperated from other 2 cats till dry. It caused her to have pyriproxyfen poisoning...seizures, partial paralysis from seizures, lethargy, licking, and loss of appetite. The seizures could not be controlled. Note, I also bathed her in mild dish soap when symptoms appeared. I had to put her to sleep. Advantage II manufacturer Bayer would not acknowledge problems but you will find similar cases on the web. Advantage II is not a safe flea treatment option (nor did it work).
Juan arenas
Pésima experiencia con ese producto , le dio alergia a mi mascota, sacudiendo las orejas todo el tiempo, no puede dormir ni comer , le aplicaron un corticoide y no le ha servido , deben prohibir esa porquería.
Susan
We used advantage on our Jack Russell 4 days ago. She began scratching herself a lot the day I used it but we just thought it was because she had a bath a day before. She has now thrown up 3 times this evening. Her vomit is clear but there seems to be foamy or a cotton like substance at the top of the vomit. It is a Saturday night so our vet is closed and so are all others. We don’t live near a vet that may be open. Can anyone tell me what we might be able to do. Right now she is shaking and shivering. Thank you for any advice you may have. By the way, she is a young 14 year old and we rarely give her flea treatments. We had been working outside all day Monday and she wanted to be outside with us. We noticed she had a couple of fleas when we got in the house. We decided to use it and I wish we hadn’t.
Briana Harden
I have been looking online to see reviews and or complaints about this product. My rescue BullPei has had this 2x and no more both times he got huge whelps and cyst like in size and scratched himself raw in many places. I was wondering what other products anyone could recommend. Thank you.
Susan I hop your baby is ok and I am sorry that has happened.
Helen webb
My puppy has suffered from seizures since she had started to have the Advantage
Suzanne
My German Shepherd is having a reaction. He's etheric and won't eat and very thirsty. He is my everything! You are selling an unsafe product! I will bring the biggest lawsuit you have ever seen ! My precious boy better be okay..I will never forgive myself for using this! You need to take this off the market now!
Elisabet Sigurdsson
I applied it to both my dog's just the normal one the terrier is okay but my Bull dog is now having a reaction it's really scary, I won't be using it again
Charles
Call your vet but ours said we can give a little bit of Benadryl to stop the allergic reaction. Don’t ever use this poison again it’s not necessary!
Mike
I used on my cat, "Advantage II", but never again, made the cat crazy, he bit and scratched me. He ran around the house. I called the Vet he told me to wash the cat and watch for foaming of the mouth and seizures. After the washing he seemed to settle down, I do not advise anyone to use this product, it can kill your cat.
mik
Advantage II made my cats very sick, Vet had me wash the cats and watch to make sure they didn't foam at the mouth or go into convulsions. I am so ashamed I didn't know better, I almost lost my best friends. Do not use this product, it can kill an animal. They did continue to salivate for a while but did settle down. I feel so sick from this, Ill never use anything like this again for fleas. I cant imagine if it had killed my pets how I would feel. I live alone with my 2 best friends, I would die inside if anything happened to "my boys".
Rozena
I use Advantage II with my med sized dog and every time we do a treatment she scratches out of control, won’t eat and seems depressed. I’ve been trying to figure out what it was and have now discovered it is the Advantage II topical flea treatment that we just finished (we had the 6 month supply). I feel so bad for her. She doesn’t even have a flea issue when we don’t use it, I just use it to protect her. I’d rather just stop using it and if we notice flea, then treat. This stuff is poison to my dog.
Veronica
We put Advantage multi on our Beagle puppy this morning. Now his pupils are dilated, excessive drewling, depressed, won't eat and wobbles when he walks around. I feel terrible I don't know what to do. Our vet is closed. When I called they said benadryl and go ahead and give him a bath. Praying he makes it through the night and is ok in the morning. I'm so scared. Any suggestions?
Shirl
I used advantage on two of my jack russels. One was 12 and 14. The 12 yr old was my daughters. We noticed a strong smell from the fkea stuff. We tried to wash it off. She started getting really sick and lathargic. She passed withing 7 days of use. She was up and playing then one day took a turn for the worse. We could not figure out what hapoened to her. I used the same batch on my dog a few weeks later. 5 days after use the same thing happen to him. He could not get up. He could not even out his head up. He could not eat . We thought this was the end for him. Its the weekend. No vet. I have been giving him 10 mg bennydryl around the clock. He is now up and walking and eating like nothing happened. Never again will i trust any toxin on my pets. He is highly alergic to fleas. I thought this would help him. We will find another way to deal with the fleas. It only takes 1 flea for him to have a bad reaction. I think 1 flea is better than being posioned. Maybe, this is the new batch they made because fleas are amused to the old batch. Imagine what they had to do to make something that would kill the fleas. Our poor furbabies are guniea pigs.
Dale
After moving from a state where there are no fleas to California, ( lots of fleas) I used Advantage 2. Within hours my 6 year old cat "Marshmello" showed signs of a severe reaction: watery eyes, nose, and increased salivation. But the worst part was he lost the use of his back legs ! My vet examined him, and after a series of expensive blood tests stated that everyday cats come in with reactions from using advantage 2, and while the drooling and watery eyes would go away the paralysis might be permanent. It's been 3 months now and my cat is still 95% paralyzed in his back legs. Advantage 2 is a dangerous neurotoxin. DO NOT use this product !
Patty
So sorry to hear about your cat. My cat is having a bad reacion also and I am fearful.
Dalr
Patty, I'm so sorry to hear about your fur baby. As for my Marshmallow, after several months, 3 different veterinarians, numerous laboratory tests, $2,000+ in vet bills, he is doing better. the neurotoxins in advantage II caused him irreparable nerve damage, therefore he has been put on phenobarbital to control his seizures. He now has approximately 30% use of his back legs. To control his fleas, we use Comfortis, which is only available by prescription but works wonderfully. Wishing you all the best with your fur baby.
Sheryl
I have been using Advantage Multi on my 2 cats and dog for over 3 months. I couldn’t figure out what suddenly went wrong with my otherwise health felines. My make lost half his fur and my female was lethargic, seemed depressed and was peeing large amounts of blood. $1500 later and nothing is working, I tried another flea medication in between another antibiotic because the advantage didn’t work anyway and suddenly my cats are back to normal. I never would gave thought this was causing it. My mother’s 2 dogs also became deathly ill and 1 almost passed away after applying the Advantage. Never again !
Jocelyn Gonzalez
Use por primera vez advantage multi en mis dos gatos, ambos tuvieron reacciones desfavorables, la hembra presentó vómitos, temblores en extremidades, perdida de apetito, desánimo en general dejo de acicalarse y además presentó dificultades para respirar. Mi otro gato un macho presento hiperactividsd y un comportamiento extraño en general. NO LO RECOMIENDO EN ABSOLUTO, POR FAVOR DEJEN DE VENDERLO! ESTAN DAÑANDO A NUESTRAS MASCOTAS
Virginia
Just adopted a little 5 year old poodle 4 days ago from city adoption site. She was spaded, and given all her medicines including advantage plus all within 9 days. Alot of meds for a 6 pound dog. Today she had 2 seizures, and she walks a little funny. The vet said she thinks the seizures maybe just epilepsy. But when I looked at the meds she received I saw the advantage plus. Never to use this stuff again, it is poison to their system!
Donna
I used on my cat last night and right now I'm at an emergency vet as she is trembling and I'm afraid I'm going to lose her 😭
Sandra Prentiss
I just received my advantage II and I wish I would have read these first my cat is pregnant she jumped up and ran then threw up a bunch of foam I am so scared I hurt her and the babies I am crying and so afraid what have I done these are my babies I cannot lose them
Valerie Fry
Please tell me your dog is ok now after this incident
Haley
Okay so if i have a dog and a puppy and I just applied their flea stuff and they go to play.. if one bites the other where the flea stuff is are they gonna be fine or?
froz3nmgirl
I used advantage on my 17 month old bengal and I believe it has made him sick. He became very lethargic, high fever, no appetite. I took him to the vet and all of his lab work came back normal. I have read about advantage causing issues in other pets. I know that he didn't ingest any of the formula. I purchased the 4 pack for large cats as he did weight 12.5 pounds. He has lost some of that weight now.

Hello, I used Advantage II (large cat) on my completely healthy cat 11 year old cat and within the next few days he started showing weakness in his hind legs. Still eating, drinking, etc, and doesn't seem to be in pain, but he was no longer able to jump, his back legs completely collapsed on him a few times and he's walking with a strange wobbly gait in only his hind legs. Took him to the vet where he had extensive bloodwork and x-rays. Everything looked normal. its now been about a month of symptoms. It hadn't occurred to me that it could have been the advantage. Does this sound like what happened to marshmello? thanks in advance for any help-- the only this the vet suggested was further testing such as an MRI which would be extremely expensive
Serina
Hello! I just applied the advantage II kitten on one of my kitties and the large cat on two of them. Unfortunately I read these after I applied it but don't feel comfortable with them using it, so I washed off the area with dawn soap within 30 minutes after I applied it, should my cats be okay?
Ashley
Hi, I work at an animal hospital and im noticing a lot of clients here upset about the medicines they have been giving their pets. I just want to point out that while it IS a risk to put any of these products on your pets, it is no more of a risk individually as us buying medicine to treat our own ailments. Do some research before chosing a flea prevention. All dogs are different, just like people. Some may react terribly and some may have no issues arrise. At my hospital, we have VERY FEW patients who cannot take certain preventatives and we quickly find the solution because without these treatments, these babies can become so infested that it leads to Anemia and often organ failure, followed by death. Ticks can cause a multitude of diseases and disorders as well that also lead to death. To be honest, every day we all do things, take things, and eat things that could potentially kill or harm us. So, while it is terribly unfortunate to hear that some of your babies have had such a horrible experience, I do want to point out that our babies do need some of these options for protection. Please follow the rules and guidelines and watch the precautions. Some medications are better or worse than others. I do believe we, as a race of "intelligence", we could do SO much better for our furry kin.
TMorga
I adopted a new kitty. Put advantage II on her, she has a huge bald spot. This was 4 days ago. I will not use it again.
Gina Baccaro
I put advantage on my healthy 12 year old cat . He developed huge cost like bumps on his neck and he lost fur all around his ears and at the area I applied it to on the back of his neck . I washed him w dawn soap but the damage is done . I feel so horrible for putting that poison on him . Never again . He’s miserable and I feel horrible for doing that to him . I did call a vet and they said 1/2 dose of children’s Benadryl . That seemed to help a little bit . Poor kitty king George . I hope he gets back to normal soon
Brenda
Same. Placed it on my cat and next day his fur fell off around medication site. Not using this again!
Alejandra
This is the third time using on one of my kittens and I found this site because I had googled side effects. I think she might of gotten some on her paw and licked a little bit of it. Washed the paw out and am now monitoring her. No big side effects after the first two applications and I have another kitten who also didn't get any side effects with both his applications. After reading all these comments I am freaking out. I've never had an issue with the prior two applications and actually saw a lot of good reviews for advantage II for small cats. Really hoping my baby won't have any major side effects.
Alejandra
UPDATE: washed the area out with mild soap and water and made sure to dry it off. Kitty was fine afterwards. My other cat feel asleep belly up and it dried up on it's own. No side effects both applications on other cat. They are both 7 month old kittens and I used Advantage II for small cats. I don't think I will continue using it although I didn't have major side effects as many people stated here. I will probably look into maybe a flea collar or some other type of flea treatment.
Susan Westerman
Used advantage on my 15 month old cat 4 days ago ever since she wont go near me she is very edgy and not eating properly she walks around with wide eyes like she's scared hopefully this will wear off and she'll be ok, i wish I knew how this would affect her there should be a warning about how dangerous this treatment is for animals.
Sandra Spring
I switched to advanced 2 and noticed the next day my cat had diarrhea and it was so bad he couldn’t make it to his liter box now I have him shut in my bathroom now for three weeks and still having accidents but not as bad it’s a good thing I’ve noticed or everything would been ruined so never again on advantage 2!!
JB
My cat 13yo has had a severe reaction. She has been in the vets for 3 days and even though she is now eating the tremors and twitching hasn’t stopped 😔 praying we don’t lose her.. Stay away from Advantage it is too dangerous
Matthew Stark
My previous comment was definitely not directed to this site. It was pointed at Bayer the makers of Advantage.
I'm very thankful for this site, Petbucket for allow me to express my feelings of anger towards this product.
I get frustrated and write from the top of my head. I should self edit, yes.
Matthew Stark
Advantage is nasty... period! I've had to use this product because it's effective but it hurts the hell out of my cats. It burns their skin and the fumes from the alcohol content causes them both to squint. I feel like the meanest person in the world for having to use it on them.
They are indoor cats 24/7 but a neighbour in my apartment building allows her indoor/outdoor cat to wander the halls. He sits outside my door daily. I'm at a crossroad. I've tried all natural means and nothing has worked. The manager of the building doesn't care about this matter.
So, if anyone knows of something else that's harmless except to the fleas please inform me.
Anything from Hartz is an absolute no! I'm surprised that they're still still selling their flea collars. As for Bayer, the makers of Advantage, well that's another whole ball of evil.
(If this comment is erased, please know that's its entirety has been screenshot and will post this site, photos, etc., via all forms of media).
Nathan Thomas
Hi, I recently put advantage on my 10 1/2 year old cat and he had 5 seizures in the slave of 40 minutes , I took him to the out of hours vets and they gave him an anti allergy injection which helped for 5 days and now today on the 6th day he has had 3 more seizures and idk what to do he’s been to the vets 3 times and is going again tomorrow in just under 14 hours, he is now asleep but since I’ve given him his file treatment he has been drooling from the mouth, he wobbly and then falls on his side and twitches, his breathing is also now heavy. It is so horrible to see and I just want him better, has anyone got any ideas if it isn’t the flea treatment, would be appreciated
Steph
What if you have two dogs. They play a mouth each other, they will get the others back so what can be done to make this safe? Multi use pills are out due to seizures.
Matt
Used the Advantage II for Ferrets on both my ferrets. Never had any reactions or anything. Just like humans that take any medicine, pets taking medicine comes with a risk. Whether that be flea treatment, pain treatment or anything really.
Angelina R.
Just used Advantage Plus on our Carin terrier X and he has extremely bad chemical burns.
Called the company and was given a case # "in case the vet wants to know the active ingredients " He is miserable, we bathed him in Dawn dish soap then gave him 50mg of Benadryl also but Rx burn cream on the spots and had to put a shirt on him to make him stop scratching the burn spots. I am completely shocked at what this has done to him. There is no recourse if I take him to the Vet it's all on me....Ya I am not happy to say the least. Not sure what else to give him to calm him down and stop the itching.
Sir Jaq
It is horrible what my Jaq has been going through, he was the perfect guy. on June 12 he had is 1st dose of the season and has scratched his neck to the point of bleeding. it is now 3 wks later and he has started scratching and bleeding again. Bathing is Not an option. I feel horrible that i allowed my good boy to be tortured like this!
Why is this garbage on the market. DO NOT SUBJECT UR FUR BABY TO THIS!!!!
Shanta Swain
Sheryl, I’m so sorry you had to experience this. How terrifying. What was the other medication that worked without harm??? Please, I need help for my kids! Thank you!
BeckySue
Cat freaking out. I used it on my siamese cat and within hours she started to have iritic behavior! I am on day 2 of trying to detox her with Chlorine Dioxide (MMS). She sleeps a lot and wants to be very very close to me. Hides under and sheet or blanket she can and twitches one of her ears. Other times she stares at a blank wall w/o blinking. Its like she has completely lost it at times. Never EVER again will I put those chemicals on her body -- that is if she makes it out of this :(
Kat n
I used Advantage multi on my 7 year old cat that I got from my vet . A day after she started getting sick didn’t eat or drink water looked really depressed . Took her to pet urgent care . They did a ultrasound and found that her intestines are inflamed . She got some antibiotics and other meds .
Jenna
I've used Advantage Spot On for years and my cats have been fine until their latest application. It appears to have turned my cats neck blue!
Luckily he seems to be okay in himself but I can't see anything about this online.
Rather bizzare.
Josh McDowell
Vet gave to our 4 month old English bulldog, applied it late last night and 12 hours later he’s in a coma, thought he was just sleeping til I tried to wake him up to feed and he was just limp, then as I tried waking him he’d begin seizing and go limp right away. Currently at the vet but please please avoid this poison. We are sooo upset. Should have researched it but just assumed the vet prescribed it so figured it was safe for a perfectly healthy pup. This shouldn’t be an option for any animal.
Paul Smith
My cat almost died...still in observation at the vet..he has suffered terrible fits of shaking...cannot walk, crying, fits and total misery. Please don't use Advantage if you love your pet, it's poison, expect nerve damage and kidney failure.
Stefanie
This product is horrible
I used this on my 9 year old Jack Russell on Thursday night when I woke up Friday morning he throat was so swollen he has burns on his skin. Hives all over his back and the rest of his skin red raw. I was petrified.
My 8 year old Jack Russell has sores on his skin too and not eaten his dinner since.
I’m so sorry to read all these stories.
I will never ever use it again!
Tracy
I administered Advantage multi on my two 3 year old pups and senior dog on Friday night.On Saturday one of the pups was not eating and lethargic. He also had diarrhea. On Sunday, he drank some water and vomited. He seemed to be getting better until I came home from work Monday and he had died. I’ll never use it again.
Carol Barlow
Hi my vet issued advantage flea treatment for my lop eared 18month old rabbit on Tuesday although he didn’t have fleas he had a very small sore at the side of his eye, he’s a house rabbit, within 18hrs my rabbit started to fall over, I took him straight back to the vet and he said it could be E cuniculi which is fatal, and completely dismissed my concern it could be the flea treatment, we are now in day 3 and he is getting worse, I don’t know what to do, please can anyone give me advise
Lou
Gave my puppy the correct dosage of advantage flea treatment and 48 hours later he suddenly won't settle to go to bed and has had diarrhoea, he did it in his cage for the first time ever . Wonder if this is a coincidence or a reaction?
Sue Smith
Gave my mastiff Advantage multi and 5 hours later, he could no longer walk. He is at the emergency vet now- they said he was also partially blind Praying 🙏 that they can save him and get this poison out of him.
Sue Smith
Take him to the vet, he is having a bad reaction to the medication
Sherry
I have used Advantage Multi on both of my cats for three months now and both cats have developed this horrible odor that they did not have before I started using it. One cat is nine years old, the other is three. Has anyone else noticed a smell with their cat?
Erica
One of my cats started drooling really bad about an hour after treatment, but it only lasted a few minutes and she drank water and it cleared up. I have been monitoring her and she seems to be her normal self since. Another adult male lost his hair and has irritation at the site where Advantag II was applied. Should I not give them Advantage any longer, or maybe for a couple of treatments use the kitten dose even though they are adults?

How long did this last , my cats are acting crazy
Freddie
My dog has been treated with every. other. treatment. on. the. market. I've worked in pet stores for half a decade, I have unlimited access to every product, and I vet him regularly and have used every prescription product, including sulfur baths. This shampoo, knowing the ludicrous number of complaints, is a last resort.
But I've got 3 acres in the country, and I woke up, walked to the kitchen, and my feet were covered in blood from all the ticks he brought in the house the night before, WITH treatment. He has gotten ehrlichia once, already. I had to try it.
If he has seizures and dies tonight, it will be far more humane than what he has gone through over the past four years with nonstop irritation and organ damage from ineffectual medicines and diseases brought by vermin. I would welcome it as an end to his suffering. But it isn't gonna happen.
Because I also know the public. Especially pet owners. They will crap their own pants and try to shove it in the mouths of anyone who disputes a word of their testimony because ThEy kNoW WhAt'S bEsT fOr ThEiR BaBiEs. They let them eat the polyester filling from a toy and then blame the stomach discomfort on a brand of food the vet recommended.
Every pet owner is a Karen. Ignore the bad reviews.

My 12 year old otherwise healthy cat within hours started vomiting, next day lethargic & won’t eat or drink. Day 2 loss of motor function, stumbling & hissing. Unfortunately it is the weekend & ER vets are far away & too expensive honestly. I am thinking & preparing for the worst. I am heartbroken. He was/is my best friend. So sad big pharmaceutical can get away with this. Pure poison. Watching my pet slowly slip away is torture. I realize this product works for many, but I will certainly seek a homeopathic flea treatment for any future pets I may own. If I ever decide to own another pet. Very angry/sad
Grieving.

Does an *unopened* tube of Bayer advantage canine ever $/xpire or lose effectiveness with age

Advantage II: just administered 3rd application following the summer months to my Siamese. A day later he's scratching and grooming obsessively. A few days later I notice massive hair loss all over his body like hot spots, however, no discoloration nor inflammation. The hair loss continues. The scratching continues - as the fleas are still alive and well! He's evidently having a bad reaction. Never again! Heartz flea collar did the same as the fur around his neck vanished (but grew back)... Collidal Silver in his water to help him through this, whenever that might be. In the future - DE in his food to deworm, perhaps Revolution...Glad I found this site! They need to put serious warnings on their packaging.

I just used Advantage for cats on my pet Polly. Within 10 minutes she started acting unusual, dashing around my house. Polly was foaming at the mouth so excessive salivation. I was extremely worried and tried to round here up for an emergency Vet trip, but the symptoms subsided within five to ten minutes. I have used Advantage in the past without incident, but I guess she has become sensitized. I am researching alternatives.

I was wondering if this medication can cause dogs to have moles grow on their body in different places.

Advantage killed my cat! My dog is now sick and am praying for God to heal him in Jesus Name!!

Advantage caused my shihtzu heart rate to drop.

My family used Advantage 2 twice on my cat (12 years old & 11 months, female) who had fleas. The first time we applied it, she became lethargic 6 days later. The vet couldn't find anything wrong. After 3-4 days, she recovered and was pretty much back to normal. We didn't connect the dots that it was from the Advantage!! We thought maybe the fleas had caused her depression and stress. We decided to put Advantage 2 on her again, and two days later she lost all motor leg functionality even though her legs could move. The vet said it may be an adverse reaction to Advantage. We did IV and it didn't really help, she still can't move. However, she would eat and groom herself. Today is the fourth day, and in the morning we saw that her eye pupils were different sizes. Her head is also tilting sideways. We don't really know what to do.

if i feel like my cat is having a reaction, can i wash the area?
We used Advantage Multi on our otherwise healthy Chesapeake Bay Retruever for flea control. Within 12 hours he was covered with hot spots and within 24 hours he was blind and disoriented. Our vet says to NEVER use this product again. So now what?? My dear dog is now blind. My advice is, if you love your dog dont use this Advantage Multi. It’s poison to more than fleas. Oh and did I mention it causes reproductive issues? So much for my breeding program now. He was the end of a line and now it’s over. No hunting, no swimming. We will learn to work with his blindness. This company needs to stop making this product.
I used this on my 1 yr old Siamese cat, never again. He had hair loss at application site. Hair grew back, so gave him a 2nd app months later. He had a severe reaction, drooling, lethargic, jaw tremors. It all happened 4 to 5 days after applying the Advantage II. I was told if I attempt it again, my pecious Mac will die.
My chihuahua is having an extreme reaction to advantage multi administered 2 days ago. Eye swelling, ear irritation, head tilting, diarrhea, lethargy, tremors, rapid breathing. This isn’t the first time he’s had a reaction but it’s abaolutly terrifying. I’ll never give any of my dogs including my other two this poison ever again. We are prepared to take him to the emergency vets, called and have everything arranged Incase his breathing turns rapid again tonight. He’s sleeping now and we are praying it will just wear itself off by tomorrow. This product is 100% toxic. Do not believe what anyone tells you, even vets. My poor little buddy is a victim of this toxic marketing ploy. I’ll never give them this crap ever again and I’ll tell every single person I know what it caused my dog to experience.
Do not give advantage multi to any animal, period.
My Binky after advantage is sitting quietly then jumps up runs and hisses I don’t know what to do
Advantage dog flea treatment.
Hi, I am not using Advantage mullti but just Advantage on my dog, do you think this is ok?
What about Advantage, not Advantage multi please? Advantage multi has two ingredients, Advantage only one, Imedacloprid.
After our experience we don’t use any of these things on our dogs. Never again.
There are holistic versions made of essential oils we have instead. We will never use these toxic medicines in our dogs ever again. Lesson learned.
Advantage II Cat Flea Treatment is dangerous. I used the product on my cat properly....for the correct weight small cat, first application in 5 yrs, indoor cat, no dogs in house to also lick, applied on back of neck, was healthy cat, seperated from other 2 cats till dry. It caused her to have pyriproxyfen poisoning...seizures, partial paralysis from seizures, lethargy, licking, and loss of appetite. The seizures could not be controlled. Note, I also bathed her in mild dish soap when symptoms appeared. I had to put her to sleep. Advantage II manufacturer Bayer would not acknowledge problems but you will find similar cases on the web. Advantage II is not a safe flea treatment option (nor did it work).
Pésima experiencia con ese producto , le dio alergia a mi mascota, sacudiendo las orejas todo el tiempo, no puede dormir ni comer , le aplicaron un corticoide y no le ha servido , deben prohibir esa porquería.
We used advantage on our Jack Russell 4 days ago. She began scratching herself a lot the day I used it but we just thought it was because she had a bath a day before. She has now thrown up 3 times this evening. Her vomit is clear but there seems to be foamy or a cotton like substance at the top of the vomit. It is a Saturday night so our vet is closed and so are all others. We don’t live near a vet that may be open. Can anyone tell me what we might be able to do. Right now she is shaking and shivering. Thank you for any advice you may have. By the way, she is a young 14 year old and we rarely give her flea treatments. We had been working outside all day Monday and she wanted to be outside with us. We noticed she had a couple of fleas when we got in the house. We decided to use it and I wish we hadn’t.
I have been looking online to see reviews and or complaints about this product. My rescue BullPei has had this 2x and no more both times he got huge whelps and cyst like in size and scratched himself raw in many places. I was wondering what other products anyone could recommend. Thank you.
Susan I hop your baby is ok and I am sorry that has happened.
My puppy has suffered from seizures since she had started to have the Advantage
My German Shepherd is having a reaction. He's etheric and won't eat and very thirsty. He is my everything! You are selling an unsafe product! I will bring the biggest lawsuit you have ever seen ! My precious boy better be okay..I will never forgive myself for using this! You need to take this off the market now!
I applied it to both my dog's just the normal one the terrier is okay but my Bull dog is now having a reaction it's really scary, I won't be using it again
Call your vet but ours said we can give a little bit of Benadryl to stop the allergic reaction. Don’t ever use this poison again it’s not necessary!
I used on my cat, "Advantage II", but never again, made the cat crazy, he bit and scratched me. He ran around the house. I called the Vet he told me to wash the cat and watch for foaming of the mouth and seizures. After the washing he seemed to settle down, I do not advise anyone to use this product, it can kill your cat.
Advantage II made my cats very sick, Vet had me wash the cats and watch to make sure they didn't foam at the mouth or go into convulsions. I am so ashamed I didn't know better, I almost lost my best friends. Do not use this product, it can kill an animal. They did continue to salivate for a while but did settle down. I feel so sick from this, Ill never use anything like this again for fleas. I cant imagine if it had killed my pets how I would feel. I live alone with my 2 best friends, I would die inside if anything happened to "my boys".
I use Advantage II with my med sized dog and every time we do a treatment she scratches out of control, won’t eat and seems depressed. I’ve been trying to figure out what it was and have now discovered it is the Advantage II topical flea treatment that we just finished (we had the 6 month supply). I feel so bad for her. She doesn’t even have a flea issue when we don’t use it, I just use it to protect her. I’d rather just stop using it and if we notice flea, then treat. This stuff is poison to my dog.
We put Advantage multi on our Beagle puppy this morning. Now his pupils are dilated, excessive drewling, depressed, won't eat and wobbles when he walks around. I feel terrible I don't know what to do. Our vet is closed. When I called they said benadryl and go ahead and give him a bath. Praying he makes it through the night and is ok in the morning. I'm so scared. Any suggestions?
I used advantage on two of my jack russels. One was 12 and 14. The 12 yr old was my daughters. We noticed a strong smell from the fkea stuff. We tried to wash it off. She started getting really sick and lathargic. She passed withing 7 days of use. She was up and playing then one day took a turn for the worse. We could not figure out what hapoened to her. I used the same batch on my dog a few weeks later. 5 days after use the same thing happen to him. He could not get up. He could not even out his head up. He could not eat . We thought this was the end for him. Its the weekend. No vet. I have been giving him 10 mg bennydryl around the clock. He is now up and walking and eating like nothing happened. Never again will i trust any toxin on my pets. He is highly alergic to fleas. I thought this would help him. We will find another way to deal with the fleas. It only takes 1 flea for him to have a bad reaction. I think 1 flea is better than being posioned. Maybe, this is the new batch they made because fleas are amused to the old batch. Imagine what they had to do to make something that would kill the fleas. Our poor furbabies are guniea pigs.
After moving from a state where there are no fleas to California, ( lots of fleas) I used Advantage 2. Within hours my 6 year old cat "Marshmello" showed signs of a severe reaction: watery eyes, nose, and increased salivation. But the worst part was he lost the use of his back legs ! My vet examined him, and after a series of expensive blood tests stated that everyday cats come in with reactions from using advantage 2, and while the drooling and watery eyes would go away the paralysis might be permanent. It's been 3 months now and my cat is still 95% paralyzed in his back legs. Advantage 2 is a dangerous neurotoxin. DO NOT use this product !
So sorry to hear about your cat. My cat is having a bad reacion also and I am fearful.
Patty, I'm so sorry to hear about your fur baby. As for my Marshmallow, after several months, 3 different veterinarians, numerous laboratory tests, $2,000+ in vet bills, he is doing better. the neurotoxins in advantage II caused him irreparable nerve damage, therefore he has been put on phenobarbital to control his seizures. He now has approximately 30% use of his back legs. To control his fleas, we use Comfortis, which is only available by prescription but works wonderfully. Wishing you all the best with your fur baby.
I have been using Advantage Multi on my 2 cats and dog for over 3 months. I couldn’t figure out what suddenly went wrong with my otherwise health felines. My make lost half his fur and my female was lethargic, seemed depressed and was peeing large amounts of blood. $1500 later and nothing is working, I tried another flea medication in between another antibiotic because the advantage didn’t work anyway and suddenly my cats are back to normal. I never would gave thought this was causing it. My mother’s 2 dogs also became deathly ill and 1 almost passed away after applying the Advantage. Never again !
Use por primera vez advantage multi en mis dos gatos, ambos tuvieron reacciones desfavorables, la hembra presentó vómitos, temblores en extremidades, perdida de apetito, desánimo en general dejo de acicalarse y además presentó dificultades para respirar. Mi otro gato un macho presento hiperactividsd y un comportamiento extraño en general. NO LO RECOMIENDO EN ABSOLUTO, POR FAVOR DEJEN DE VENDERLO! ESTAN DAÑANDO A NUESTRAS MASCOTAS
Just adopted a little 5 year old poodle 4 days ago from city adoption site. She was spaded, and given all her medicines including advantage plus all within 9 days. Alot of meds for a 6 pound dog. Today she had 2 seizures, and she walks a little funny. The vet said she thinks the seizures maybe just epilepsy. But when I looked at the meds she received I saw the advantage plus. Never to use this stuff again, it is poison to their system!
I used on my cat last night and right now I'm at an emergency vet as she is trembling and I'm afraid I'm going to lose her 😭
I just received my advantage II and I wish I would have read these first my cat is pregnant she jumped up and ran then threw up a bunch of foam I am so scared I hurt her and the babies I am crying and so afraid what have I done these are my babies I cannot lose them
Please tell me your dog is ok now after this incident
Okay so if i have a dog and a puppy and I just applied their flea stuff and they go to play.. if one bites the other where the flea stuff is are they gonna be fine or?
I used advantage on my 17 month old bengal and I believe it has made him sick. He became very lethargic, high fever, no appetite. I took him to the vet and all of his lab work came back normal. I have read about advantage causing issues in other pets. I know that he didn't ingest any of the formula. I purchased the 4 pack for large cats as he did weight 12.5 pounds. He has lost some of that weight now.
Hello, I used Advantage II (large cat) on my completely healthy cat 11 year old cat and within the next few days he started showing weakness in his hind legs. Still eating, drinking, etc, and doesn't seem to be in pain, but he was no longer able to jump, his back legs completely collapsed on him a few times and he's walking with a strange wobbly gait in only his hind legs. Took him to the vet where he had extensive bloodwork and x-rays. Everything looked normal. its now been about a month of symptoms. It hadn't occurred to me that it could have been the advantage. Does this sound like what happened to marshmello? thanks in advance for any help-- the only this the vet suggested was further testing such as an MRI which would be extremely expensive
Hello! I just applied the advantage II kitten on one of my kitties and the large cat on two of them. Unfortunately I read these after I applied it but don't feel comfortable with them using it, so I washed off the area with dawn soap within 30 minutes after I applied it, should my cats be okay?
Hi, I work at an animal hospital and im noticing a lot of clients here upset about the medicines they have been giving their pets. I just want to point out that while it IS a risk to put any of these products on your pets, it is no more of a risk individually as us buying medicine to treat our own ailments. Do some research before chosing a flea prevention. All dogs are different, just like people. Some may react terribly and some may have no issues arrise. At my hospital, we have VERY FEW patients who cannot take certain preventatives and we quickly find the solution because without these treatments, these babies can become so infested that it leads to Anemia and often organ failure, followed by death. Ticks can cause a multitude of diseases and disorders as well that also lead to death. To be honest, every day we all do things, take things, and eat things that could potentially kill or harm us. So, while it is terribly unfortunate to hear that some of your babies have had such a horrible experience, I do want to point out that our babies do need some of these options for protection. Please follow the rules and guidelines and watch the precautions. Some medications are better or worse than others. I do believe we, as a race of "intelligence", we could do SO much better for our furry kin.
I adopted a new kitty. Put advantage II on her, she has a huge bald spot. This was 4 days ago. I will not use it again.
I put advantage on my healthy 12 year old cat . He developed huge cost like bumps on his neck and he lost fur all around his ears and at the area I applied it to on the back of his neck . I washed him w dawn soap but the damage is done . I feel so horrible for putting that poison on him . Never again . He’s miserable and I feel horrible for doing that to him . I did call a vet and they said 1/2 dose of children’s Benadryl . That seemed to help a little bit . Poor kitty king George . I hope he gets back to normal soon
Same. Placed it on my cat and next day his fur fell off around medication site. Not using this again!
This is the third time using on one of my kittens and I found this site because I had googled side effects. I think she might of gotten some on her paw and licked a little bit of it. Washed the paw out and am now monitoring her. No big side effects after the first two applications and I have another kitten who also didn't get any side effects with both his applications. After reading all these comments I am freaking out. I've never had an issue with the prior two applications and actually saw a lot of good reviews for advantage II for small cats. Really hoping my baby won't have any major side effects.
UPDATE: washed the area out with mild soap and water and made sure to dry it off. Kitty was fine afterwards. My other cat feel asleep belly up and it dried up on it's own. No side effects both applications on other cat. They are both 7 month old kittens and I used Advantage II for small cats. I don't think I will continue using it although I didn't have major side effects as many people stated here. I will probably look into maybe a flea collar or some other type of flea treatment.
Used advantage on my 15 month old cat 4 days ago ever since she wont go near me she is very edgy and not eating properly she walks around with wide eyes like she's scared hopefully this will wear off and she'll be ok, i wish I knew how this would affect her there should be a warning about how dangerous this treatment is for animals.
I switched to advanced 2 and noticed the next day my cat had diarrhea and it was so bad he couldn’t make it to his liter box now I have him shut in my bathroom now for three weeks and still having accidents but not as bad it’s a good thing I’ve noticed or everything would been ruined so never again on advantage 2!!
My cat 13yo has had a severe reaction. She has been in the vets for 3 days and even though she is now eating the tremors and twitching hasn’t stopped 😔 praying we don’t lose her.. Stay away from Advantage it is too dangerous
My previous comment was definitely not directed to this site. It was pointed at Bayer the makers of Advantage.
I'm very thankful for this site, Petbucket for allow me to express my feelings of anger towards this product.
I get frustrated and write from the top of my head. I should self edit, yes.
Advantage is nasty... period! I've had to use this product because it's effective but it hurts the hell out of my cats. It burns their skin and the fumes from the alcohol content causes them both to squint. I feel like the meanest person in the world for having to use it on them.
They are indoor cats 24/7 but a neighbour in my apartment building allows her indoor/outdoor cat to wander the halls. He sits outside my door daily. I'm at a crossroad. I've tried all natural means and nothing has worked. The manager of the building doesn't care about this matter.
So, if anyone knows of something else that's harmless except to the fleas please inform me.
Anything from Hartz is an absolute no! I'm surprised that they're still still selling their flea collars. As for Bayer, the makers of Advantage, well that's another whole ball of evil.
(If this comment is erased, please know that's its entirety has been screenshot and will post this site, photos, etc., via all forms of media).
Hi, I recently put advantage on my 10 1/2 year old cat and he had 5 seizures in the slave of 40 minutes , I took him to the out of hours vets and they gave him an anti allergy injection which helped for 5 days and now today on the 6th day he has had 3 more seizures and idk what to do he’s been to the vets 3 times and is going again tomorrow in just under 14 hours, he is now asleep but since I’ve given him his file treatment he has been drooling from the mouth, he wobbly and then falls on his side and twitches, his breathing is also now heavy. It is so horrible to see and I just want him better, has anyone got any ideas if it isn’t the flea treatment, would be appreciated
What if you have two dogs. They play a mouth each other, they will get the others back so what can be done to make this safe? Multi use pills are out due to seizures.
Used the Advantage II for Ferrets on both my ferrets. Never had any reactions or anything. Just like humans that take any medicine, pets taking medicine comes with a risk. Whether that be flea treatment, pain treatment or anything really.
Just used Advantage Plus on our Carin terrier X and he has extremely bad chemical burns.
Called the company and was given a case # "in case the vet wants to know the active ingredients " He is miserable, we bathed him in Dawn dish soap then gave him 50mg of Benadryl also but Rx burn cream on the spots and had to put a shirt on him to make him stop scratching the burn spots. I am completely shocked at what this has done to him. There is no recourse if I take him to the Vet it's all on me....Ya I am not happy to say the least. Not sure what else to give him to calm him down and stop the itching.
It is horrible what my Jaq has been going through, he was the perfect guy. on June 12 he had is 1st dose of the season and has scratched his neck to the point of bleeding. it is now 3 wks later and he has started scratching and bleeding again. Bathing is Not an option. I feel horrible that i allowed my good boy to be tortured like this!
Why is this garbage on the market. DO NOT SUBJECT UR FUR BABY TO THIS!!!!
Sheryl, I’m so sorry you had to experience this. How terrifying. What was the other medication that worked without harm??? Please, I need help for my kids! Thank you!
Cat freaking out. I used it on my siamese cat and within hours she started to have iritic behavior! I am on day 2 of trying to detox her with Chlorine Dioxide (MMS). She sleeps a lot and wants to be very very close to me. Hides under and sheet or blanket she can and twitches one of her ears. Other times she stares at a blank wall w/o blinking. Its like she has completely lost it at times. Never EVER again will I put those chemicals on her body -- that is if she makes it out of this :(
I used Advantage multi on my 7 year old cat that I got from my vet . A day after she started getting sick didn’t eat or drink water looked really depressed . Took her to pet urgent care . They did a ultrasound and found that her intestines are inflamed . She got some antibiotics and other meds .
I've used Advantage Spot On for years and my cats have been fine until their latest application. It appears to have turned my cats neck blue!
Luckily he seems to be okay in himself but I can't see anything about this online.
Rather bizzare.
Vet gave to our 4 month old English bulldog, applied it late last night and 12 hours later he’s in a coma, thought he was just sleeping til I tried to wake him up to feed and he was just limp, then as I tried waking him he’d begin seizing and go limp right away. Currently at the vet but please please avoid this poison. We are sooo upset. Should have researched it but just assumed the vet prescribed it so figured it was safe for a perfectly healthy pup. This shouldn’t be an option for any animal.
My cat almost died...still in observation at the vet..he has suffered terrible fits of shaking...cannot walk, crying, fits and total misery. Please don't use Advantage if you love your pet, it's poison, expect nerve damage and kidney failure.
This product is horrible
I used this on my 9 year old Jack Russell on Thursday night when I woke up Friday morning he throat was so swollen he has burns on his skin. Hives all over his back and the rest of his skin red raw. I was petrified.
My 8 year old Jack Russell has sores on his skin too and not eaten his dinner since.
I’m so sorry to read all these stories.
I will never ever use it again!
I administered Advantage multi on my two 3 year old pups and senior dog on Friday night.On Saturday one of the pups was not eating and lethargic. He also had diarrhea. On Sunday, he drank some water and vomited. He seemed to be getting better until I came home from work Monday and he had died. I’ll never use it again.
Hi my vet issued advantage flea treatment for my lop eared 18month old rabbit on Tuesday although he didn’t have fleas he had a very small sore at the side of his eye, he’s a house rabbit, within 18hrs my rabbit started to fall over, I took him straight back to the vet and he said it could be E cuniculi which is fatal, and completely dismissed my concern it could be the flea treatment, we are now in day 3 and he is getting worse, I don’t know what to do, please can anyone give me advise
Gave my puppy the correct dosage of advantage flea treatment and 48 hours later he suddenly won't settle to go to bed and has had diarrhoea, he did it in his cage for the first time ever . Wonder if this is a coincidence or a reaction?
Gave my mastiff Advantage multi and 5 hours later, he could no longer walk. He is at the emergency vet now- they said he was also partially blind Praying 🙏 that they can save him and get this poison out of him.
Take him to the vet, he is having a bad reaction to the medication
I have used Advantage Multi on both of my cats for three months now and both cats have developed this horrible odor that they did not have before I started using it. One cat is nine years old, the other is three. Has anyone else noticed a smell with their cat?
One of my cats started drooling really bad about an hour after treatment, but it only lasted a few minutes and she drank water and it cleared up. I have been monitoring her and she seems to be her normal self since. Another adult male lost his hair and has irritation at the site where Advantag II was applied. Should I not give them Advantage any longer, or maybe for a couple of treatments use the kitten dose even though they are adults?
How long did this last , my cats are acting crazy
My dog has been treated with every. other. treatment. on. the. market. I've worked in pet stores for half a decade, I have unlimited access to every product, and I vet him regularly and have used every prescription product, including sulfur baths. This shampoo, knowing the ludicrous number of complaints, is a last resort.
But I've got 3 acres in the country, and I woke up, walked to the kitchen, and my feet were covered in blood from all the ticks he brought in the house the night before, WITH treatment. He has gotten ehrlichia once, already. I had to try it.
If he has seizures and dies tonight, it will be far more humane than what he has gone through over the past four years with nonstop irritation and organ damage from ineffectual medicines and diseases brought by vermin. I would welcome it as an end to his suffering. But it isn't gonna happen.
Because I also know the public. Especially pet owners. They will crap their own pants and try to shove it in the mouths of anyone who disputes a word of their testimony because ThEy kNoW WhAt'S bEsT fOr ThEiR BaBiEs. They let them eat the polyester filling from a toy and then blame the stomach discomfort on a brand of food the vet recommended.
Every pet owner is a Karen. Ignore the bad reviews.
I'm in tears reading all your messages..sounds absolutely horrific!!!
I'm a very lucky owner of 14 beautiful kitties and need to get them all de-fleed and this has been a wake up call for us
I'm lost in what to do after seeing your very sad comments..I hope you're all well and tickity boo and all your kitties and dogs
I'm glad I found this site
CAN ANYONE SUE THIS MAD COMPANY??
My 12 year old otherwise healthy cat within hours started vomiting, next day lethargic & won’t eat or drink. Day 2 loss of motor function, stumbling & hissing. Unfortunately it is the weekend & ER vets are far away & too expensive honestly. I am thinking & preparing for the worst. I am heartbroken. He was/is my best friend. So sad big pharmaceutical can get away with this. Pure poison. Watching my pet slowly slip away is torture. I realize this product works for many, but I will certainly seek a homeopathic flea treatment for any future pets I may own. If I ever decide to own another pet. Very angry/sad
Grieving.
Does an *unopened* tube of Bayer advantage canine ever $/xpire or lose effectiveness with age
Advantage II: just administered 3rd application following the summer months to my Siamese. A day later he's scratching and grooming obsessively. A few days later I notice massive hair loss all over his body like hot spots, however, no discoloration nor inflammation. The hair loss continues. The scratching continues - as the fleas are still alive and well! He's evidently having a bad reaction. Never again! Heartz flea collar did the same as the fur around his neck vanished (but grew back)... Collidal Silver in his water to help him through this, whenever that might be. In the future - DE in his food to deworm, perhaps Revolution...Glad I found this site! They need to put serious warnings on their packaging.
I just used Advantage for cats on my pet Polly. Within 10 minutes she started acting unusual, dashing around my house. Polly was foaming at the mouth so excessive salivation. I was extremely worried and tried to round here up for an emergency Vet trip, but the symptoms subsided within five to ten minutes. I have used Advantage in the past without incident, but I guess she has become sensitized. I am researching alternatives.
I was wondering if this medication can cause dogs to have moles grow on their body in different places.
Advantage killed my cat! My dog is now sick and am praying for God to heal him in Jesus Name!!
Advantage caused my shihtzu heart rate to drop.
My family used Advantage 2 twice on my cat (12 years old & 11 months, female) who had fleas. The first time we applied it, she became lethargic 6 days later. The vet couldn't find anything wrong. After 3-4 days, she recovered and was pretty much back to normal. We didn't connect the dots that it was from the Advantage!! We thought maybe the fleas had caused her depression and stress. We decided to put Advantage 2 on her again, and two days later she lost all motor leg functionality even though her legs could move. The vet said it may be an adverse reaction to Advantage. We did IV and it didn't really help, she still can't move. However, she would eat and groom herself. Today is the fourth day, and in the morning we saw that her eye pupils were different sizes. Her head is also tilting sideways. We don't really know what to do.
