Question 1

hi, is anyone that uses this actually seeing the dead fleas on their floors? like advantage 2? thanks need 2 no..

Accepted Answer

It's chemically identical to Advantage II so will work exactly the same. If you're seeing dead fleas on the floor it's likely the result of your cat's grooming, scratching, or if the fur is very short. I've used both and have only noticed dead fleas on the floor or on my husband's pillow (a favorite sleeping place) after my cat had a productive grooming session. This was from a cat that used to go outside daily and likely picked up fleas in the yard. Now that he's an indoor cat it's rare to find a flea, but as the dog still goes outside we treat the cats in order to avoid a possible flea issue.
We haven't noticed dead fleas on the floor from the dog but believe they may be in her bed that's laundered weekly during warm weather to remove any fleas or flea dirt. We have used both Advecta and Advantix on her, depending on which is available. As with the cats, they both work the same and are effective.

Question 2

I accidentally bought the the 5-9 lb. size for my cat that weighs 13 pounds. Should I use 2 tubes instead of one?

Accepted Answer

I purposely bought the small cat one for  my 15 pound cat, I also break up the dosage over several days so there is less poison on my cat at one time: I put only one small squeeze on at a time. This last time wthin 2 days my cat stopped scratching so I didn't finish using the rest of the tube.  It's safer to apply smaller amts of these poisons at a time, so I may just put the rest of the tube in a couple weeks.

Question 3

Expiration dates?

Accepted Answer

There is a production code on the exterior of the box that has the date within the last 6-8 digits.
Someone has mentioned here and in other areas that flea and tick topicals do not have an expiration date or that they do not expire. This is untrue. Using old product can make an animal ill, so it is always best to discard old topicals within a year or two of purchase, using the date code on the exterior of the box as a guide. 
For those saying topicals don't expire, I have two veterinarian bills for two separate animals treated with topicals purchased from the previous year because I believed the no expiration hooey. We were fortunate enough that one was young, strong, and determined not to die on us because there is no antidote. He was in hospital for two days and managed to survive. The other didn't make it. We spent thousands of dollars and would willingly have spent more to have both survive instead of just the one.
Topicals, like any other chemical composition, do have a shelf life and over time can become chemically different. Don't assume because there is no expiration date or because it doesn't contain a specific ingredient that it's safe, regardless of how old it is.

Question 4

why will it take 3 to for 4 weeks to deliver ? it says it is Prime !

Accepted Answer

I see this question was awhile ago but maybe it will help someone else too.  It did NOT take that long when I ordered it.  I had mine in a week.  And I think you get free shipping or a discount if you are a prime member.
