Flea protection for dog
Why is it Important to protect your dog?
Your dog is important to you - perhaps even your best friend. You want to provide the best care possible for this important member of your family. Elanco understands this bond you share with your pet and works continuously to provide products and solutions to help safeguard the health of your pet.
Not all products work the same. Elanco’s Advantage®II protect your dog from parasite bites by killing parasites through contact, no biting required. What does this mean? It means that the product is applied and stays on the outside of your dog so that fleas, ticks and mosquitoes don’t need to bite in order to die. It's also safe for puppies as young as 8 weeks old so there is no better time to start protecting your loved one.
What is Advantage® II for dogs?
A monthly topical flea treatment that works through contact so fleas don’t have to bite to die.
Controls fleas (including all life stages) and lice and helps to protect against Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD)
Remains effective after bathing and swimming*
Available in four different sizes for puppies and dogs
Kills 98% - 100% of fleas on a pet within 12 hours of the first application and kills reinfesting fleas within 8 hours.
Bathing should be limited to once per treatment period with non- medicated dog shampoo.
*Flea shampoo, medicated or human shampoos, and/or dish detergents are not recommended
How does it work?
Advantage® II is not absorbed internally when applied to the skin. It spreads in a thin layer and remains locked in the oil of the pet’s skin. Contact by the parasite with the treated hair coat and skin results in paralysis and death of fleas and lice.
Advantage® II not only kills adult fleas through contact, the product also contains the insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen which is distributed into the home on fur and skin shed by the dog and prevents flea eggs and larvae from developing into the next stage of the flea life cycle, effectively killing them, too!

FAQ
Why choose Advantage® II?
Advantage® II is applied to your pet topically and kills through contact meaning fleas don’t have to bite your pet to die. Oral flea medications require fleas to bite before they are killed.
How often should I use Advantage® II?
Advantix® II should be applied monthly and may be used year-round for flea prevention.
My pet is strictly indoors. Should I still use Advantage® ll?
Yes. Fleas can be brought into the home by you or other pets without you even realizing it. Immature flea stages can remain dormant until conditions are appropriate to infest pets as adults. That’s why it is important to also protect indoor pets.
I only see fleas on one of my pets. ls it sufficient to just treat the infested pet?
No. All cats or dogs in the home should be treated, since the infested pet is likely to pass on fleas to other pets in the same environment.
At what age can I start using Advantage® II on my cat or dog?
Advantage® II is for use on dogs and puppies 7 weeks of age and older, or cats and kittens 8 weeks of age and older.
Important facts about lice:
« Advantage® II also kills lice and prevents further infestations on dogs. One of the most common signs of lice infestation is excessive scratching. If you suspect that your dog has lice, make sure to consult your veterinarian. »
