    Frequently Asked Questions about Advantage II

    What does Advantage II do?

    Advantage II is a topical flea treatment for cats and dogs. It kills fleas through contact, meaning fleas don’t have to bite your pet to be eliminated. Advantage II also prevents flea eggs and larvae from developing into the next stage of the flea life cycle, effectively controlling infestations.

    What is the difference between Advantage and Advantage II?

    Advantage II is an improved version of the original Advantage. The key difference lies in the addition of an active ingredient called pyriproxyfen in Advantage II. This ingredient targets flea eggs and larvae, enhancing its effectiveness in breaking the flea life cycle.

    Does Advantage II expire?

    There is no required expiration date on the packaging for Advantage II. It remains stable and effective for a long time. You can use older batches as long as they were purchased after the release of Advantage II in March 2011.

    How does Advantage II for cats work?

    Advantage II contains imidacloprid and pyriproxyfen. Imidacloprid kills adult fleas by affecting their nervous system, while pyriproxyfen inhibits flea egg and larvae development.
