Advantage for Dogs Over 25kg | 6 Pack Flea Treatment - Shop Online

What Farmco Recommends It For:

Farmco recommends Advantage for dogs over 25kg that need reliable monthly flea and lice control. It’s ideal for big breeds like German Shepherds, Labradors, Maremmas and livestock guardian dogs that spend their days outdoors and around other animals. It also helps reduce flea allergy dermatitis in dogs that react to flea bites.

Why It’s a Farmco Favourite:

Advantage starts working within minutes, stopping fleas feeding in 3–5 minutes and killing adult fleas within 20 minutes of application. Its water-resistant formula keeps working after swims in the dam or a run through wet paddocks. It’s also safe for pregnant and nursing dogs, and treating a nursing mother protects her unweaned pups.

How Advantage for Dogs Over 25kg Works

Advantage contains 100g/L imidacloprid. Applied to the skin, it spreads through the coat and kills fleas on contact, so they don’t need to bite your dog to be killed. Reinfesting fleas are killed within 1 hour, and protection against new infestations lasts up to 4 weeks.

Breaks the Flea Life Cycle

Advantage kills flea larvae in your dog’s surroundings, including kennels, bedding and the back of the ute. Use it monthly all year round to break the flea life cycle.

Controls Lice Too

As well as fleas, Advantage controls biting and sucking lice (Trichodectes canis and Linognathus setosus).

Dosing Big Dogs

For dogs over 25kg, apply the full tube across three or four spots along the back, from between the shoulder blades to between the hips. For very large dogs over 50kg, use two tubes: one between the shoulder blades and one on the midline of the back between the hips.

Works With Other Treatments

Use Advantage alongside intestinal wormers, heartworm preventatives and tick collars.

Please Note

Advantage doesn’t control ticks, including paralysis ticks. Ask the Farmco team about tick protection for your area.

Six Months of Protection

Grab a 6-pack of Advantage for dogs over 25kg and give your big mate six months of easy flea and lice protection.
