Keep
your cat and your home safe from fleas with Advantage II Large Cats over 9 pounds.
Formulated for cats eight weeks and older and weighing over 9
pounds, Advantage II kills fleas within hours of application and
protects against future flea infestations.
The Importance of Flea Protection
Protecting
your cat from fleas is essential for health and well-being. Flea bites
not only cause discomfort for your cat, but also can cause irritation
that can lead to skin infections. In some cases, flea bites can lead to
allergic skin reactions, or even result in the transmission of other
disease-causing organisms, such as tapeworms.
Millions
of pet owners have found success against fleas with Advantage Topical
Solution. Its successor, Advantage II, kills even more flea life stages.
Advantage II kills fleas through contact, so they don't even have to
bite to be destroyed. This helps reduce the risk of secondary problems,
such as flea-allergy dermatitis.
The
active ingredient in Advantage II, imidacloprid, acts on the nervous
system of the flea to cause paralysis and subsequent death. Advantage II
destroys the fleas living on your cat within 12 hours of application,
providing quick relief for your pet. Reinfesting fleas (newly hatched
fleas jumping back on your cat) are killed within two hours of
application, so if your pet picks up fleas from another animal or
infested environment, those fleas will be killed as well.

The adult fleas you see are only a small percentage of the infestation.View larger.
Protects Against Further Flea Infestations
If
you are already dealing with a flea infestation, you may only be aware
of the adult fleas, which comprise a mere 5 percent of the full
infestation. The flea eggs, larvae, and pupae make up the other 95
percent of the infestation and can be virtually invisible to the eye.
The insect growth regulator contained in Advantage II effectively breaks
the flea life cycle at multiple stages to treat existing infestations
and prevent future infestations. Each dose of Advantage II provides
protection for an entire month.
Waterproof Formula
Advantage
II is waterproof, so there's no need to reapply after your cat has a
bath or goes out in the rain. Studies show that cats are still protected
against fleas after exposure to water, though for best results, cats
treated with Advantage II should be bathed with a non-detergent shampoo.
This
Advantage II product is EPA approved and registered, so it's guaranteed
to be the exact same product sold by your Veterinarian. Click here for more information on EPA-approved pet products.
Package Contents
Box includes six 0.8-millimeter tubes of Advantage II for Large Cats.
Applying
Advantage II to your cat is a fast and easy process. First, remove the
applicator tube from its packaging and use scissors to peel down the
foil. Next, hold the applicator tube in an upright position and pull the
cap off the tube. Use the upturned cap to break the protective seal,
and you're ready for application.
Part
your cat's hair on the back of the neck at the base of the skull until
the skin is visible, then place the tip of the tube on the skin and
gently squeeze out the entire solution. Placing the treatment here
minimizes the cat's ability to lick the product, which is bitter tasting
and may cause salivation for a short time if licked after it is
applied. Do not get this product in your cat's eyes or mouth. Dispose of
the container and do not reuse or refill. Do not empty unused product
in any indoor or outdoor drain.
For
optimal control and prevention of parasites, use Advantage II every
month. Do not use this product on any animals other than cats.
Length of Effectiveness
Under
normal conditions, Advantage II is effective for one month. However, in
cases of severe flea infestation, retreatment may be necessary earlier
than four weeks. Do not retreat more often than once every 14 days.
After flea control is attained, return to a monthly retreatment
schedule.
Caution
See back panel for first aid. For instructions on storage and disposal, see supplemental labeling inside package.
Keep out of reach of children.

Best Flea Control Ever by Flea Free in Texas from North Texas07/05/2011
I have 7 indoor/outdoor cats and flea control is always an issue. I have used regular Advantage in the past with success but have still had to spray the carpets and furniture with flea control from time to time because of fleas hopping on us, and I would still see the occassional flea on the cats. This year, with Advantage II, no random fleas at all. I have been able to go 6 weeks between applications, too. I had tried Frontline Plus in the past with no success at all, so I was leary since Advantage II promised the same type of control. But Advantage II has turned out to be everything it advertises. I'm very pleased.
Advantage Flea Control for Cats by Goldfish from Bear, DE10/21/2011
I recently adopted a stray cat. With her came fleas ~ which jumped to my other indoor cats! My vet recommended a competitive flea control, but I had limited success with it. I switched to Advantage. As soon as I applied it, the fleas started dropping off. After two weeks, I no long see any live fleas.

Advantage for cats by buffer66 from Portland, OR10/18/2011
Works wonderfully in a very small amount of time. Made all of my cats much more comfortable.
good choice by Tami04/20/2012
This was my first time purchasing the Advantage 2. I had read that this version doesn't have the odor of the original advantage. That is a detail that didn't make it to the website and should have. As it happens we used it for the first time today on one cat and the original on the other. Very different reactions.Usually getting flea medicine on them is stressful for the cats. The cat who got the new version didn't react the same way atleast once it got applied. It was no big deal. Maybe next time she won't run away so readily

As usual, EntirelyPets shipped my purchase out quickly and accurately, and also it was cheaper than the other pet supply company that advertises on TV. ( even without the discount!!! )

I have purchased these flea meds for my cats from other companies, but have never received my order as fast as I did from Entirely Pets. Their rates are VERY economical as well. I would definitely recommend them and will order from them again in the future!

only product that worked by MrBrown2510/11/2011
I help with local homeless cats, this product was the only one I could find that stopped flea infestation. I would recommend this for anyone interested in stopping the cycle.
Easy to apply if your pet is cooperative, make sure to put on back of head on cats to avoid licking and ingestion of product.
KEY INGREDIENTS
Imidacloprid
Imidacloprid
is an ectoparasiticide, an antiparasitic agent that targets parasites
living primarily on the surface of a host. Chemically classified as a
chloronicotinyl nitroguanidine, imidacloprid inhibits neurotransmitter
transmission in insects, resulting in paralysis and death.
Benefits
Imidacloprid
exhibits both adulticide and larvicidal flea efficacy; it not only
kills adult fleas and larvae on your pet, but it also kills larval
stages in your pet's immediate surroundings.
Main Purpose
To kill fleas at all stages of their life cycles and stop them from being able to move or feed.
Pyriproxyfen
Pyriproxyfen,
the added compound in Advantage II, is a pyridine-based pesticide. A
juvenile hormone analog, it interferes with the hormone signaling of
growing insects, so that insects in immature stages are unable to
mature. Additionally, a female insect that touches the toxin will
produce eggs that will not hatch.
Benefits
Pyriproxyfen
provides an added layer of protection for pets and their surroundings.
It interrupts the flea life cycle at multiple stages, halting the growth
and development of insect eggs and larvae and preventing reinfestation.
Main Purpose
To prevent flea eggs from hatching and larvae from growing.
