My cats have fleas! Or, at least, they had fleas. I have used over-the-counter, less expensive items (flea powders, flea collars, etc.) up to and including other topical products like this one, and nothing worked. The flea collars were less than worthless - they actually caused patches of fur to fall out on at least one cat. The powder was unwieldy, and the other topical applications (save one) did not work at all.
I must give credit where credit is due - I have used Frontline before for my cats, and have been very satisfied with the results from that one. However, I decided to try Advantage this time, as I'd heard good things about it, and it was on sale at a discount when I needed it. I couldn't be more pleased. Unlike most other topical applications where the flea substance is put on the shoulder blades of the cats and stinks (STINKS!), this has no easily discernable smell.
This is a good thing. Also, the cats seemed to settle down from their scratching and biting at fleas within just a few minutes. Last night was the first night in weeks that the cats have all rested peacefully. There were no signs of flea-dirt left in their usual sleeping spaces last night. I am very pleased indeed.
My cats are also happy. While I still have an appreciation for Frontline, I am happy to have Advantage as a viable alternative.
The cats give this a sixteen-paw salute! (Four cats, four paws each, you know...)
Advantage for Cats August 10, 2007

Ordered Advantage for Cats over 9 pounds in the 6 pack size. Amazon had the best price I could find. Bayer makes this product which is very effective for immediately kills adult fleas (as opposed to othe products that only kill the eggs). However, it appears that Bayer has, and continues, to spend a lot of time and resources to make sure that no one any where sells this product below a certain price they want which I've documented going up every month and is rapidly approaching $10 a month per treatment (per cat). I have 5 rescued cats so the price adds up to $50 per month to treat them for fleas. Every source I could find that sold this product at bargin prices has been forced to cease selling it. This use to be called price fixing. Nevertheless, the product works very well. As soon as I can find another product that will kill adult fleas for less money than the outrageous price of Bayer's Advantage, I will switch. My order arrived very fast and was well packaged. I will use this merchant again. The 5 star rating is for the retail merchant, Amazon and the effectiveness of the product.
No Fleas on My Kitties March 17, 2006

I love this product. Living in Florida with two cats who can go in and out at will can be problematic 9 months out of the year. Within 12 hours, Advantage has killed all the fleas on my cats and I don't ever get an infestation problem in the house. The application lasts about a month and I don't see a flea on them during that time. On a side note, I tried one of the less expensive Advantage-like remedies, and my cat became ill for a few days. In other words, I don't recommend trying to save a few dollars when Advantage works like a charm.
The BEST product out there, but fleas can become resistent! November 27, 2007

We've had cats my whole life, and have tried every product out there. Thank goodness, there are finally several excellent products on the market now! I would rate the top three as Advantage, Frontline, and Program, when it comes to cats (the latter being a med you can put in their food, if you have a cat with extra sensitive skin that cannot tolerate topicals [one of my cats had a reaction to the Frontline Plus a few years ago]). At this time, we use Advantage on all our pets.But KittyLuv57 brings up a good point in her review . . . fleas do develop a resistence to these meds, especially if you live in an area where you neighbors all use this same medication on their pets. Darwinian ''Survival of the Fittest'' comes in to play, and the only fleas that survive in a neighborhood with heavy Advantage use will have done so because they are stronger than the larger population killed off. And when the survivors lay eggs, the next generation will selectively have those traits that allowed their progenitors to resist the medication.Fear not, though, because the result is not an onslaught of SuperFleas! Generational resistence develops only against the one medication used most in your area. If you've used Advantage for several years, then switch to one of the other top three for a while, and you should have excellent results. Eventually you'll see a resistence develop to that medication, and you'll know it's time to switch back to Advantage.The top brands all work equally well, except when generational resistence develops in your backyard ~ so if one brand fails you this year, it doesn't mean your product is not a good product, it just means you're facing the Darwinian Flea Paradox, and you need to switch brands for a while, sometimes just one year will do the trick. And if your neighbors are all avid warriors in the fight against fleas, you might need to try more than one different brand because the fleas in your backyard may be resistent to more than one brand. So don't give up! Flea control IS possible.But for the record, our feline family prefers Advantage . . . great results and no allergic reactions.
