Product Information

The successive feeding activity of fleas on dogs frequently elicits a hypersensitivity skin disorder known as flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) or flea bite hypersensitivity. Treatment of dogs with Advantage II for dogs kills fleas rapidly, within 12 hours, which may reduce the incidence of this condition.

Advantage II for dogs kills existing fleas on dogs within 12 hours. Reinfesting fleas are killed within 2 hours with protection against further flea infestation lasting for four (4) weeks.

Pre-existing pupae in the environment may continue to emerge for six (6) weeks or longer depending upon the climatic conditions.

Advantage II for dogs provides multi-stage flea control effectively breaking flea life-cycle stages.

Advantage II for dogs kills adult fleas quickly, within 12 hours, inhibits the development of immature flea life stages and prevents them from reaching the biting adult stage.

Advantage II for dogs kills chewing lice that infest dogs and puppies, and prevents further infestations.

Advantage II for dogs is waterproof 24 hours after application and remains effective following a shampoo treatment, swimming or after exposure to rain or sunlight.

To successfully prevent and control fleas, all dogs must be treated with their own dose of Advantage II for dogs.

Apply according to label instructions, ensuring that the product is applied to the skin, not on top of the fur.

If your dog wears a decorative collar, remove the collar before application, so it doesn’t absorb

the product.

Remember, your dog needs to be dry at the time Advantage II for dogs is applied and remains dry 24 hours after application.

Even indoor dogs need protection against fleas because you or other pets in the household may bring fleas into the home. Fleas in your dog’s environment can re-infest your dog. If you have a flea infestation, consider treating your home and yard with appropriate premise products to protect against fleas.

For optimal control and prevention of fleas on dogs, apply monthly.
