HOW TO APPLY

1. Remove one applicator tube from the package.

2. Hold applicator tube in an upright position facing away from you and your pet’s face and eyes. Pull cap off tube.

3. Turn the cap around and place other end of cap back on tube.

4. Twist cap to break seal, then remove cap from tube.

5. Part the hair in 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 of the tube 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.

6. Discard empty tube as described in Storage and Disposal.

7. In case of severe flea infestation, retreatment may be necessary earlier than four weeks. Do not retreat more often than once every seven days. After flea control is attained, return to a monthly retreatment schedule.

Product Information

The successive feeding activity of fleas on cats may elicit a hypersensitivity skin disorder known as flea allergy dermatitis (FAD).

Treatment of cats with Advantage kills fleas and may reduce the incidence of this condition.

Advantage kills fleas on cats within 12 hours. Reinfesting fleas are killed within 2 hours with protection against further flea infestation lasting for up to four (4) weeks. Pre-existing pupae in the environment may continue to emerge for six (6) weeks or longer depending upon the climatic conditions.

Advantage is waterproof and remains effective following a shampoo treatment, swimming or after exposure to rain or sunlight.

Monthly treatments are required for optimal control and prevention of fleas.
