Advantage Duo - Flea Control Program in Dogs 

Advantage Duo is a new product for dogs, designed "To Put the Squeeze on Heartworm and Fleas". It is a Prescription Animal Remedy and is only available through your veterinarian.

A unique concept, the product is for monthly application and is a squeeze-on product that is easily applied to the skin of dogs. It combines two active ingredients to specifically target two major parasites of dogs - heartworm and fleas. After application, one is rapidly absorbed into the skin and works to prevent heartworm disease by killing heartworm larvae; the other ingredient spreads over the skin killing 98-100% of fleas within twelve hours of application. Any new fleas that jump onto the dog are killed within two hours - great for those dogs that are especially sensitive to fleas. Flea larvae in the environment are also killed and flea egg production is prevented.

Extensive studies have been conducted to ensure that the product is effective and safe in preventing heartworm disease and killing fleas. Puppies as young as seven weeks of age may be treated. In addition, studies have shown that swimming four hours after application does not reduce the effectiveness of the product.

Available in both three month and six month packets, this product is convenient to apply and gives optimal prevention of heartworm and control of fleas. What’s more Advantage Duo is cheaper than using separate heartworm and flea control. So "Put the Squeeze on Heartworm and Fleas" and Ask Your Vet...
