Advantage II for Dogs 1-10 lbs

Overview

Advantage II^® is a monthly flea preventative for dogs that offers comprehensive flea protection by killing all stages of flea life: adults, larvae, and eggs.

Advantage II^® also treats, prevents, and controls up to 100% of lice on dogs within one week. This product does not kill ticks, therefore using the Preventic Tick Collar with Advantage II^® is recommended (dogs only).

Benefits:
-Kills fleas within 12 hours of initial application.
-Kills reinvesting fleas within 2 hours.
-Works through contact, so fleas don't have to bite to die.


This product provides waterproof protection - no need to reapply after a bath, exposure to rain, or swimming. For optimal results, use a non-detergent shampoo when bathing.

All it takes is one dose to protect your dog for a full month! The best way to prevent flea infestations is to treat your pet monthly, year-round.

Advantage II^® is fragrance free and gentle enough to use on puppies as young as 7 weeks old.

Warning

For the first 30 minutes after application:

Ensure that dogs cannot lick the product from application sites on themselves or other treated dogs, and separate treated dogs from one another and from other pets to reduce the risk of accidental ingestion. Ingestion of this product by dogs may cause serious adverse reactions including depression, salivation, dilated pupils, incoordination, panting, and generalized muscle tremors. In avermectin-sensitive dogs, the signs may be more severe and may include coma and death.
