Advantage Multi is an easy-to-use, effective topical flea, heartworm and intestinal parasite control treatment. It is applied directly to the skin of your pet and provides quick relief from a variety of parasites.
The directions for use state that Advantage Multi should be applied directly to the pet’s skin after bath or swim once a month. After the solution has dried, it is safe for your pet to get back in the water or take a bath again if needed. If bathing or swimming occurs between application time, it is advised to wait 24 hours before re-application as this may reduce its effectiveness. This means that you should wait at least 24 hours after your pet’s bath before applying Advantage Multi for optimal results.

Advantage Multi is a great product for protecting pets from fleas and ticks. It not only kills existing parasites, but also acts as a preventive against future infestation.

Plus, since it doesn’t wash off with shampoo or water, there’s no need to re-apply the treatment after baths.
Step-by-step instructions for applying Advantage Multi
Step-by-step instructions for applying Advantage Multi:
1. Read the label carefully before use and follow directions.
2. Ensure your pet is completely dry before application, which can take up to 30 minutes after bathing or swimming.
3. From the shoulder blades, part the fur to make sure it lies against the skin and not on top of it.
4. Carefully squeezing from the tube, apply enough product along your pet’s back to cover from shoulder blades to tail as one continuous stripe about 2 cm wide (1/4 – 1/2 a tube). Do not separate into shorter stripes or spots.
5. Product should be applied evenly over entire area of exposed skin only (do not apply on areas with no hair).
6. To help avoid exposure of pets and other animals, wash hands after use and keep product away from children’s reach in its original container when not in use. For cats less than 8 weeks old or weighing less than 1kg do not use this product until they reach 8 weeks of age or weigh at least 1kg respectively
How long after a bath can you apply Advantage Multi?
After your pet is fully dry from their bath, it’s okay to apply Advantage Multi as soon as possible. For best results, wait at least 12 hours before allowing your pet to swim or be exposed to heavy rain. Also, take care not to let the application site get wet until the application area is completely dry.
For best results, use the pipette along your pet’s back from the neck area all the way to the base of their tail in one continuous motion. Make sure that you part their fur and really work around any folds they might have on their skin where ticks could hide and breed. Be sure to cover any areas completely but don’t over-apply; remember that a little bit goes a long way!
