I used Advantage on all of the animals about a week ago, however I dont think it worked that well. They are scratching still ( not as bad ) and one of my Day Care kids was sent home from school today because of flea bites! Just want to know if I re-treat my house is it safe to dip them since they just had Advantage?
I have already treated my house twice! And I no longer have the Advantage box.

Under mounting pressure from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Bayer Corporation suspended the sale of its hugely profitable drug Trasylol in November 2007.

A blood clotting drug used during heart surgery to control bleeding, Trasylol was given to more than four and a half million people worldwide. About one and a half million Americans received Trasylol during its 14 year run on the US market.

Studies found that patients who received Trasylol during heart bypass, heart valve replacement and other cardiac surgery were more likely to die than patients who received other available blood clotting drugs. Deaths were due to heart failure, kidney failure, heart attacks and strokes the patients suffered after surgery.

In 2007, Bayer designed a major Canadian trial to show that Trasylol was better than other drugs in controlling bleeding. The trial was terminated, however, because of an increase in deaths among cardiac surgery patients using the drug. Patients receiving Trasylol had a 50 percent increased risk of dying compared with patients receiving other drugs.

What's a few thousand deaths among friends?

60 Minutes reported in February 2008 that Bayer had known about Trasylol's safety concerns for decades and about the abnormally high incidents of deaths associated with the drug since 2006. Yet Bayer continued aggressive marketing of the drug, raking in well over $300 million annually. The FDA permitted Trasylol to stay on the market, contributing to an estimated 1,000 deaths a month for the 22 months before its recall.

The 60 Minutes report went on to describe Bayer's own internal study evaluating

the risk of patient deaths from Trasylol. Medical records of nearly 70,000 patients

were examined by a Harvard professor who was placed on the Bayer payroll.

What the professor found was that patients given Trasylol had an elevated risk

of acute renal failure.

Bayer concealed this study from the FDA during a safety review of Trasylol in

2006. The drug giant further charmed the FDA into allowing Trasylol to

stay on the market. More than a year passed before the FDA got around to

reviewing the adverse effects of Trasylol again. Finally, the FDA recalled the drug

but imposed no fine or penalty on Bayer.

What does this have to do with fleas & ticks on dogs and cats?

Another way Bayer works wonders is with its insecticide Imidacloprid, the active

ingredient in Advantage Flea & Tick treatment for dogs and cats. Laboratory test

results on file with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency show Imidicloprid

to be neurotoxic to dogs and other laboratory animals, also causing a breakdown

of coordination, labored breathing, reduced birth weight, increased birth defects,

and lesions of the thyroid.

Of course, Bayer has remained silent as a stalactite about these adverse health

effects on our precious pets. Could this be yet another 60 Minutes report in the

making?

Sooner or later, responsible dog lovers and cat lovers need to ask themselves

the question, Am I trusting the big drug companies too much with the safety of

my best friends? Sooner or later you need to ask yourself whether toxic

chemicals are really necessary when safe and natural flea & tick treatments are

readily available.

What's my advice? You can't ask the questions too soon, but you can ask them

too late.

I just found a flea on one of my dogs and all I have right now is Advantage for cats, can I use it on my dogs? If so one of my dogs weighs 60 pounds, should I put two on her?

Advantage 6pk for Dogs 21-55lb

Advantage Topical Flea Treatment for Dogs 21-55 Lbs (6 Applications)

I was unsuccessful in getting rid of the fleas my cat and dog had on my own. I went to the vet and bought one of their treatments. They gave me advantage for both of them. It's the kind you squeeze on their skin right behind their heads. I did this at about 1pm today. I'm still noticing a little scratching from both of them. How long should this treatment take to kill the fleas? And if this doesn't work what should my next step be?
PS I did treat my house so they shouldn't be getting reinfected from the furniture or anything.

I'm trying to find the cheapest Advantage for my kitties and ebay has advertised a wholesale amount of advantage that you measure out and administer your self. The ad says it is for cats but the picture that is listed says its for dogs.

I'm wondering if the chemical composition or concentration of Advantage for cats compared to Advantage for dogs is any different?
