Important Information

Fleas rise to the top of your pet's coat as they die, so consider it a triumph if you start seeing more fleas at first, after treating your pet. If you’re still seeing fleas after application, it may be because your pet has picked up new fleas from the environment, which may include other pets, surfaces and outdoor areas. It may take up to 30 days to break the entire flea life cycle. Additionally, you should also treat sources of new fleas (i.e., carpet, yard, etc.) to ensure complete flea control.

FAQs

What is Advantage II for Small Dogs?
It's a topical flea treatment for small breeds. Vet-recommended, kills fleas through contact (no bite required), and addresses all life stages of fleas — eggs, larvae, and adults.
What's the 'three-way protection'?
Adult flea kill (imidacloprid) + flea egg prevention + flea larvae prevention (both via pyriproxyfen). That's what addresses the full life cycle, not just the visible adults.
How do I apply it?
Part the fur between the shoulder blades, squeeze the tube against the skin, and let the liquid absorb. Don't bathe for 24 hours after application. The treatment spreads through the natural oils on the skin.
How often do I apply?
Once a month, on the same day of each month for consistency. Skipping doses or stretching intervals lets the protection lapse — that's when re-infestations happen.
What about swimming and bathing?
Wait 24 hours after application before bathing or letting your dog swim. After that, occasional water exposure is fine — but frequent swimming may shorten the effective protection window.
