Additional 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 rapidly kills fleas and reduces the incidence of this condition.

Advantage II 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.

Fleas, flea eggs, and flea larvae in the dog’s environment are killed following contact with an Advantage II treated pet. Advantage II provides multi-stage flea control effectively breaking all flea life-cycle stages for quick and lasting control of flea populations.

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

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

Monthly treatments are required for optimal control and prevention of fleas.
