Advantage II for Dogs

The new and improved Advantage II now offers flea and lice protection for your dog. Flea and lice treatment with Advantage II gives your dog a safe solution that only needs to be applied once a month. Dogs and puppies older than 7 weeks and weighing under 10 lbs are fit for this flea and lice killing formula.

This formula will kill fleas completely by eliminating their eggs and larvae by using a variety of ingredients and compounds. It contains a fast-acting formula that kills fleas quickly and prevents them from returning.

Advantage II uses the compound pyriproxyfen to kill fleas and other insects by interfering with their maturity cycle. Targeting insects, pyriproxyfen does not affect mammals. Other flea killing properties like adulticidal, larvicidal, and ovicidal kill fleas and prevent them from emerging again. Imidacloprid paralyzes fleas so they are killed before biting your dog and also reduce the incidence of flea-related allergies.

Key Benefits

• Kills adult fleas within 12 hours and re-infesting fleas within 2 hours
• Integrated flea control (IFC) disrupts flea life cycle with pyriproxyfen
• Waterproof
• Guaranteed US EPA approved
• Application quick and easy with easy-squeeze tube
• Each package of this long-lasting topical lasts for 4 or 6 months

How It Works

Advantage® II for dogs combines two active ingredients:

• Imidacloprid attacks the flea's nervous system - paralyzing and ultimately killing it.
• Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that kills flea eggs and larvae.

This combination plays a crucial role in treating and preventing infestations, because:

• In an existing infestation, you might only be aware of the adult fleas, which only represent around 5% of the full infestation and are found on the pet.
• Immature flea life stages which live in the pet's environment consist of around 95% of the infestation and can be almost invisible to the naked eye.

Net Contents: 4 Tubes, each 0.014 fl oz (0.4 ml)
