Hi Nern. I heard about this going on. That's one of the reasons I didn't purchase any Advantage online. I realize the fake ones can also be in my vet's office. However, I just don't ever trust online drugs of any kind. I have even heard of many distributors diluting drugs to make a profit, such as cancer drugs. So, the drugs turn out to be ineffective in trying to combat the disease, as the drugs are so diluted. I don't know how these kinds of people can sleep at night knowing what they are doing.

Yeah, its pretty scary. I'm pretty sure I have purchased some of this counterfeit advantage in the past. I emailed the Bayer company a while back and asked them about the place I had purchased it from but they never responded.

I'm wondering if my parents may have as well. Their two cats get advantage every single month and they had fleas a few times that were alive and biting.
