• 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.

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?
