How to open:

• Be sure tube is at bottom of pouch.
• Using scissors, cut the pouch across the top and remove tube.

How to apply:

• Remove one applicator tube from the package.
• Hold applicator tube in an upright position facing away from you and your pet’s face and eyes. Pull cap off tube.
• Turn the cap around and place other end of cap back on tube.
• Twist cap to break seal, then remove cap from tube.
• Part the hair on the neck at the base of the skull until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the tube on the skin and squeeze the tube to expel the entire contents directly on the skin. Do not get this product in your cat’s eyes, or allow your cat to ingest this product. The product is bitter tasting and salivation may occur for a short time if the cat licks the product immediately after treatment. Treatment at the base of the skull will minimize the opportunity for the cat to lick the product. Do not allow the product to run off.
• Discard empty tube.
• Under normal conditions this product is effective for a month. However, in cases of severe flea infestation, retreatment may be necessary earlier than 4 weeks. Do not retreat more often than once every 14 days for kittens or once every 7 days for small and large cats. After flea control is attained, return to a monthly retreatment schedule.

If you choose to bathe your cat in between treatments, we recommend use of a general grooming shampoo for pets. Keep in mind that more frequent bathing may keep the product from working the full 30 days.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Protect from freezing. Keep out of reach of children.

Advantage II for cats 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.

Advantage II flea prevention is applied to your cat topically, spreading over the skin and hair. It kills fleas through contact, so fleas do not have to bite your cat to die. With oral flea medications, fleas have to bite your cat and ingest the medication before they are killed.

A single application of Advantage II for cats stops biting fleas for one month. However, if the cat has a severe infestation, retreatment within a month may be necessary. See product label for additional information.

Use Advantage II for cats monthly, year-round to help keep your pet protected from fleas. Even indoor cats need protection against fleas because you or other pets in the household may bring fleas into the home. Fleas in your cat's environment can re-infest your cat.

You can use Advantage II for cats on kittens and cats 8 weeks of age and older.

There is no expiration date required on the packaging by the EPA for Advantage II for cats. We recommend the product should be kept in its original packaging and stored as directed on the label.

Advantage II for cats does not kill ticks, but it does effectively break the flea life cycle by killing flea eggs, larvae and adults to help prevent infestation on your pet.

Advantage II for cats kills fleas within 12 hours of application.

Do not have contact or allow children to have contact with the area treated with Advantage II for cats until completely dry.
