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.

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.

Where is this product sourced from?
We source all our products from manufacturer approved distributors or directly from the manufacturers. Chewy takes pride in ensuring that our furry friends’ wellbeing is always our top priority. We have worked hard to partner with all of the manufactures to deliver 100% authentic products
Can I bathe my cat after applying Advantage II?
Yes. Advantage II is waterproof after 24 hours. However, we suggest bathing your cat before applying Advantage II. Just make sure your cat is thoroughly towel-dried before application. 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.
Can I use Advantage II for cats on dogs?
No, do not use Advantage II for cats on dogs. Please follow label directions for the application of our flea products.
Can I split tubes of Advantage II between my cats?
No, you cannot split tubes of Advantage II for cats between multiple cats. To successfully prevent and control fleas, cats must be treated with their own dose of Advantage II. Follow label directions for application.
Can I use Advantage II for cats on my rabbits?
No, do not use Advantage II for cats on rabbits. Please follow label directions for the application of our flea products.
How do I store and dispose of Advantage II?
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal of Advantage II.
-
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Protect from freezing. Keep out of reach of children.
-
Disposal and Container Handling: Non-refillable container. If empty: Do not reuse this container. Place in trash or offer for recycling if available. If partly filled: Call your local solid waste agency for disposal instructions. Never place unused product down any indoor or outdoor drain.
How does Advantage II for cats work?
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.
What is the difference between Advantage II for cats and oral flea products?
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.
How long does Advantage II for cats last?
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.
How often can you use Advantage II for cats?
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.
How old does my cat have to be to use Advantage II?
You can use Advantage II for cats on kittens and cats 8 weeks of age and older.
Does Advantage II for cats expire?
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.
Does Advantage II for cats kill ticks?
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.
How long does Advantage II for cats take to work?
Advantage II for cats kills fleas within 12 hours of application.
Can I touch my cat after applying Advantage II for cats?
Do not have contact or allow children to have contact with the area treated with Advantage II for cats until completely dry.
Experience the Benefits of Advantage II
Help stop the misery of biting fleas with Advantage II. This vet-recommended topical formula works to kill adult fleas as well as flea larvae and eggs, so your cat can focus on you. It only needs to be applied once a month and is for cats and kittens 8 weeks of age or older.
Why Choose Advantage II?
Advantage II is waterproof, fragrance-free and kills fleas directly through contact. That means pesky fleas dont have to bite to perish. It kills fleas within 12 hours of the first application and can protect against further infestation for up to a month. Best of all, with Advantage II, you can stop multiple flea life stages, to effectively break the flea life cycle.
Help Break the Flea Life Cycle
Immature fleas in a pet's environment consist of around 95% of an infestation and can be nearly invisible to the naked eye. That's why Advantage II has two active ingredients that work to stop fleas. The first active ingredient kills adult fleas by targeting their nervous system, while the second works as an insect growth regulator that kills flea eggs and larvae.
Is Advantage II the Right Choice for Your Cat?
Whether your cat is a winter sunspot-stealer or a summer backyard explorer, an sunseeker or an outdoor enthusiast, choose Advantage II to help keep fleas from interrupting his favorite activities year-round. If you want to return the love to your cat, take care of him with flea prevention that works to kill the fleas you see and the ones you don't.

great product
By Sandy on Jan 19, 2022
I worked at a vet for over 30 years, and in my experience fleas became immune to many products, but not Advantage. It is also very safe, and I used it on my kittens (over 8 weeks of age!). It is very effective. Love Chewy, too!

Small Cat Solution
By PatC on Nov 29, 2021
My new cat is over a year old, but health problems early on made it hard for her to grow and gain weight. Since she was under 5 pounds when she came to live with me, this was the perfect solution - and it worked! No fleas - confirmed by a recent vet visit. Now that she's gaining weight, she will soon be able to "graduate" to the small cat version.

Kill fleas as advertised
By Donald on Nov 4, 2021
I treat the cats monthly with Advantage II during flea season (usually 3-4 months) and dust the carpet with food grade diatomaceous earth (after putting a mask on and whooshing the cats out of the room, as the dust is not toxic but will irritate the lungs). Though the Advantage II has little odor that I can detect I have two cats that really hate it, so I have to sneak up on them to apply it. The other cats could care less (“you are petting me so I don’t care if you squish something on me, just keep petting”). I have used it for years and so far the fleas keep dying.

Awesome medication for a reasonable price.
By Karen on Dec 6, 2021
Both of my kittens were flea free when I adopted them. My male kitten was free of fleas until he came home from the vet after being fixed. He then gave them to my female kitten, his sister, and hence the flea problem. This medication is great. One application and no more fleas!! It’s the best I’ve tried without breaking the bank.

Worked for us
By FurMomma on Oct 27, 2021
I adopted 2 kittens this past summer and they had fleas. Advantage II for kittens cleared it up and prevented an infestation from occurring in my house. It’s the only brand I generally use on my babies. I never see any skin irritation or side effects after applying it, and it’s fairly priced. Those kittens have since moved on to Advantage II for small cats (they are growing so fast!) and it works just as well. Highly recommend this brand.

Helped our kittens
By Cyndy on Dec 1, 2021
Our new kittens are indoor but there are stray cats near and I think the cats sitting in the windows were able to pass them to our kittens. This did very well and we were finding dead fleas the same evening we treated them! Pleased with the product.

Disappointment
By Dink on Aug 14, 2021
Chewy always delivers and excellent customer service. I order them by the next day my products are here and ready to use. But my recent purchase of this product left me very disappointed. I’ve always use this product for my cats and dogs but lately it seems to be less than substandard. My animals are still battling fleas. It seems well prices go up on his product quality goes down.
