Advantage II small dog provides dual protection against fleas and lice. Advantage II small dog kills 98-100% of the existing fleas on dogs within 1 day after treatment. Protection against further flea infestation can last up to 4 weeks. Retreatment at monthly intervals is required if reinfestation is continuous or if flea control is desired. Fleas, eggs, and larvae are killed following contact with skin debris from an Advantage II small dog pet. Advantage II small dog provides multi-stage flea control effectively breaking all flea life-cycle stages for quick and lasting control of flea populations. Advantage II small dog treats lice infestations on dogs.

Do not shampoo or immerse the animal in water immediately after treatment. The animal can be shampooed, immersed in water or exposed to rain 3 days after treatment. Advantage II small dog retains its ovicidal and larvicidal efficacy up to 4 weeks following a shampoo treatment, swimming or exposure to rain. The adulticidal effect may be shortened by repeated shampooing, water immersion or exposure to rain. Reapplication may be required after such activities.

The successive feeding activity of fleas on pets may elicit a hypersensitivity skin disorder known as flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). Treatment of pets with Advantage II small dog rapidly kills fleas and may reduce the incidence of this condition. For effective flea control, treatment of the pet should be combined with sanitation of any area used by the pet. Vacuum floors, carpets and furniture (discard vacuum bag after use) and wash the pet’s bedding, living quarters and surrounding areas. If pest problems persist, an insecticidal premise treatment may be required. A veterinarian should be consulted when pest infestation continues to be a problem on the pet.
