Advantage II is a monthly flea preventative for dogs and cats that offers comprehensive flea protection by killing adult fleas, larvae, and eggs. Advantage II also treats, prevents, and controls lice on dogs. Advantage II does not kill ticks, so we recommend using the Preventic Tick Collar along with Advantage II (dogs only).
For: Dogs (7 weeks of age or older) Cats (8 weeks of age or older)
Benefits:
•
Kills fleas within 12 hours of application
•
Kills all flea life stages including flea eggs and larvae to prevent infestation
•
Treats, prevents, and controls lice infestations (dogs only)
•
Safe and easy to apply
•
Waterproof - remains effective even if pet gets wet
How it works:
The first active ingredient is imidacloprid, which acts on the nervous system of the flea to cause paralysis and subsequent death. Within 12 hours of application, 98-100 percent of fleas are dead. The second active ingredient, pyriproxyfen, is an insect growth regulator. Once a female flea lays her eggs, pyriproxyfen works to prevent the eggs from hatching, ending the flea life cycle.
Cautions:
Individual sensitivities, while rare, may occur after using any pesticide product for pets. If signs persist, or become more severe, consult a veterinarian immediately. Do not get this product in your pet's eyes or mouth.

Directions:

•
For dogs up to 20 lbs, part the pet's hair between the shoulder blades until you can see the skin. Place the tip of the applicator on the skin and release all of the tube's contents on a single spot directly on the skin.
•
For dogs 21 lbs and over, apply entire contents of the tube evenly in 3 or 4 spots on the top of the back from the shoulder to the base of the tail. At each spot, part the hair until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the applicator on the skin and release a portion of the Advantage II solution directly on the skin. Do not apply an excessive amount of solution at any one spot that could cause some of the solution to run off the side of the dog.
•
For kittens and cats, place the applicator tip through the cat's hair to the skin on the neck at the base of the skull and release all of the tube's contents on a single spot directly on the skin.
•
Use only one applicator per treatment.
Tip: Under normal conditions Advantage II is effective for a month. However, in case of severe flea infestation, retreatment may be necessary earlier than four weeks. Do not re-treat more often than once every seven days. After flea control is obtained, return to a monthly treatment.

"The best I've used"
Nothing really worked as well as Advantage ll for our Norwegian Forest Cat. Cleopatra spends as much time roving the neighborhood as she does in our home. So fleas are abundant outside. If you haven't tried this product you are missing out, and so is your cat.
We bought advantage11 for our 2 kittens Colby and Buttons are 10 months old. Colby is white and gray Tabby u can still see fleas crawling around. We have used Advantage for years and no problem what ever happen to Advantage?
I ocassionaly find a few after treatment but I think they are new ones that the eggs survived- I dont think they live for long after because they eat the animals blood that is now contaminated..... at least thats how I understood it
You need to call your Vet immediately. Also call 1800 PetMeds for advice. But you need to bring your pet to the Vets for a proper diagnosis as soon as possible.
Absolutely! I also have a cat who is an indoor cat. However, she contracted fleas because for some reason, I brought them in on my pant leg. I had no idea this could happen, until it did. Also, once fleas are in your home, they can live up to 6 months! in cocoons and your cat can pick them back up..mine did. My vet finally set me straight about the life cycle of a flea. It's gross!! So, I use advantage II through the winter months without a doubt. And, it's always best to confirm information by calling 1800 pet meds, or your vet.
