Advantage II For Dogs Over 55 lbs 4 Pack

Advantage II for Dogs is available over the counter. No prescription is required to purchase this product. Advantage II for Dogs is used in the treatment of adult fleas, flea eggs and larvae. The main ingredient is imidacloprid, a topical solution that collects in the oils of the skin and in the hair follicles. Imidacloprid is not absorbed into the body and does not circulate through the bloodstream. It is spread around the body through translocation. Advantage II for Dogs also contains an insect growth regulator known as pyriproxyfen. Pyriproxyfen prevents eggs from hatching. These ingredients combine to help control flea infestations by acting on the central nervous system of insects. Advantage II kills 98-100% of fleas within 12 hours. The effects last for up to 30 days. This product is also waterproof. It is available in 4 and 6 month packs according to your dog's weight:

• 0-10lbs (green box)
• 11-20lbs (teal box)
• 21-55lbs (red box)
• Over 55lbs (blue box)

How it works:

The first active ingredient is imidacloprid, which acts on the nervous system of the flea to cause paralysis and subsequent death. Within 12 hours of application on cats and dogs, 98-100 percent of fleas are dead. Advantage II Small Cat kills the existing fleas on ferrets within 24 hours. The second active ingredient, pyriproxyfen, is an insect growth regulator. Once a female flea lays her eggs, pyriproxyfen works to prevent the eggs from hatching, ending the flea life cycle. Also, the active ingredient in Advantage II kills through contact, which means that fleas don't have to bite your pet to die. Reinfesting fleas are killed with protection against further flea infestation lasting for up to 4 weeks. Pre-existing pupae in the environment may continue to emerge for 6 weeks or longer depending upon the climactic conditions.

Storage:
