Overview
An 8 oz bottle of Advantage flea and tick shampoo for dogs, an unscented liquid formula using pyrethrins, piperonyl butoxide and MGK 264 as active ingredients to kill fleas and ticks on contact.
This is a treatment shampoo rather than a preventive spot-on, so it works at the point of a bath rather than providing weeks of ongoing protection. It is labeled for puppies from 12 weeks and older as well as adult dogs.
- Pyrethrin-based flea and tick kill
- Unscented liquid
- For puppies 12 weeks and older
- 8 fl oz bottle
Who it's for
Dog owners dealing with an active flea or tick infestation who want a bath-time treatment. Not suited to puppies younger than 12 weeks.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Unscented liquid formula
- Approved from 12 weeks of age
- Contact-kill active ingredients for fleas and ticks
- No stated residual protection between baths
- Small 8 oz bottle size
Performance notes
The active ingredients, pyrethrins, piperonyl butoxide and MGK 264 insecticide synergist, work together as a contact kill during washing rather than a residual repellent, so effectiveness is tied to the bath itself.
