I have used Advantage for about 2.5 yrs. I've just recently changed to
Revolution. Advantage kills fleas. Revolution kills fleas, ticks, ear
mites, sarcoptic mange mites and a couple types of intestinal worms. It
is also a heartworm preventative. Well, back to Advantage. All sizes of
the tubes contain the exact same liquid, just more or less of it. I
always bought the 55 lb dog size and once a month I would take out 0.2
ml and put it on the back of the neck. That way you get 40 doses for
about the same price you et 4 doses for in the cat size.
