sounds like would be good for my dog (Reply to this comment)

Dog occasionally has flea problems and being a Norwegian Elkhound is 2 coated - so hard to get to skin/ Your comment though that the fur on your cats around area was wet gives me hope that will work on dog. Was always concerned that somehow it should all be immediately absorbed and the wet area meant I was doing it wrong.

Kudos Kiddo on a great review!!
We had a major flea problem last year & our cats never go outside!! I'm hoping this year we won't see those darn bite packin' things!! If I see any signs though, I'll try Advantage for cats!!
Thanks again for the info!!

That article pertains to dogs, of which the dog Advantage products should never be used on cats. I think it shows that if you are using that different product, that you should keep your kittens away from the dog while it is being used.
That is probably why they tell you not to use Advantage on cats younger than 8 weeks as well. As with any product there are potential risks associated, but this is a widely accepted product as being safe according to veterinarians everywhere.

Safe? (Reply to this comment)
by WulfsDen
Hi Ryan,
While the active ingredient of Advantage has been well tested and documented a loophole in the law allows so-called inactive ingredients to go unchecked. In her article "Are “Spot-On” Flea Killers Safe?" Kathleen Dudley says, "An unidentified “inert” ingredient in the flea product Advantage was implicated in the death of kittens who received doses within laboratory tolerances." You can find the full article at:

This is by no means the only source of similar information.
