Advantage Multi for Cats 2-5 lbs FAQs

Can Advantage Multi kill flea eggs and larvae?

No, Advantage Multi kills adult fleas only. It does not directly kill flea eggs or larvae, but by stopping reproduction, it helps break the flea life cycle over time.

How long does it take for Advantage Multi to absorb?

Advantage Multi absorbs into the skin within 30 minutes. During this time, avoid petting the application site or allowing your cat near other pets or children.

Does Advantage Multi protect against ticks?

No, Advantage Multi does not kill or repel ticks. If your cat is at risk for tick exposure, speak with your vet about combining it with a tick-specific treatment.

Can I use Advantage Multi year-round?

Yes, monthly use year-round is strongly recommended, especially for heartworm prevention, since mosquitoes (heartworm carriers) can appear even during cooler seasons.

What if my cat licks the application site?

If your cat licks the product before it dries, it may cause drooling or vomiting. Prevent licking by applying at the back of the neck, and consult your vet if symptoms persist.
