Overview
A flea and tick shampoo for kittens and adult cats from Advantage, containing pyrethrins, piperonyl butoxide and MGK 264 as active ingredients. Sold in an 8 fl oz bottle for cats 12 weeks and older.
The category label on this listing points to dog shampoo, but the title, active ingredients and target species data all specify cats and kittens, so this reads as a cat specific flea and tick shampoo rather than a dog product. It uses an insecticide combination rather than a natural or oil based flea deterrent.
- 8 fl oz bottle
- For kittens 12 weeks+ and adult cats
- Active ingredients: pyrethrins, piperonyl butoxide, MGK 264
- Unscented, liquid form
Who it's for
Owners of kittens 12 weeks or older and adult cats needing a flea and tick treatment applied during a bath rather than as a topical drop. Not intended for use on dogs despite any adjacent listing categorization.
Pros and cons
- Approved for kittens 12 weeks and older
- Contact insecticide kills fleas and ticks during bathing
- No lasting residual protection after rinsing
- Listing category is mislabeled as dog shampoo despite being cat specific
Performance notes
The active ingredients, pyrethrins with piperonyl butoxide as a synergist and MGK 264, work as a contact insecticide during the wash rather than providing residual protection afterward. That makes it more suited to treating a current flea or tick presence than preventing future ones.
