What Farmco Recommends It For:
Farmco recommends Advantage for puppies and small dogs up to 4kg that need gentle, reliable monthly flea and lice control. It’s safe from birth and for pregnant and nursing dogs, so it’s ideal for new litters and breeding mums. It’s also registered for rabbits and ferrets up to 4kg.
Why It’s a Farmco Favourite:
Advantage kills fleas on contact, so they don’t need to bite your pup to be killed. Reinfesting fleas stop biting within 3–5 minutes, and the water-resistant formula keeps working all month. Treating a nursing mother also protects her unweaned puppies.
Why Advantage for Puppies Matters
Most dogs pick up fleas at some point. Female fleas can lay up to 50 eggs a day, so a few fleas can quickly become an infestation on your puppy and in your home. Flea bites can cause dermatitis, anaemia in severe cases, and even tapeworm if your pup swallows an infected flea.
Kills Fleas on Contact
Advantage contains 100g/L imidacloprid, which spreads across the skin and kills fleas through contact. That means fewer bites and faster relief for itchy puppies.
Breaks the Flea Life Cycle
Advantage kills flea larvae in your puppy’s surroundings, helping stop new fleas developing in bedding and around the house. It also reduces the incidence of flea allergy dermatitis.
Controls Lice Too
As well as fleas, Advantage controls biting and sucking lice (Trichodectes canis and Linognathus setosus) on dogs.
Easy, Water-Resistant Protection
One tube on the skin lasts a month. Part the coat between the shoulder blades and squeeze the full tube onto the skin. Once dry, bathing and swimming won’t wash the protection away.
Protect Your New Pup
Start your puppy’s flea program early with Advantage for puppies, and keep them comfortable and flea-free from day one.
