Product Information

A scratch pole. Many cats have a tendency to scratch and paw at drapes, furniture, and just about anything else that takes their fancy. Investing in a scratch pole or post will not only provide your cat with the scratching outlet they need, but also save you lots of money and frustration. Imidacloprid and pyriproxyfen as found in Advantage II are generally quite safe, even if a little is accidentally ingested. Although Advantage II products for dogs and cats contain the same active ingredients, the manufacturer does not advise using a dog product on a cat, even if they are similar in weight. Sometimes, there are differences in the inactive ingredients between dog and cat products that would make them inappropriate to consider interchangeable. If you have any questions about application or safety for Advantage products or any topical product, make sure to get in touch with your veterinarian. Conclusion Advantage’s main ingredient is imidacloprid. Imidacloprid works to kill fleas by acting on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of the central nervous system, essentially causing paralysis and death of the flea.

Incorrect application.(i.e. applied to the fur not the skin, failing to apply the whole volume of product, failure to properly puncture or open a vial prior to application).This product is largely not available in the U.S. as it has been replaced by Advantage II. It is made in two dosage sizes: cats 9lb and under, and cats over 9lb. Advantage products for cats including Advantage II and Advantage Multi can be effective at treating and eliminating certain parasitic pests for your kitty. They are also relatively safe when used properly. Consistent grooming. Although a cat might not need the same amount of grooming as a dog, it still takes work to prevent your house from turning into one big hairball. A weekly cleaning is usually enough, and you can find easy-to-use cat grooming tools at most pet stores. Advantage®II contains pyriproxyfen, an insect growth regulator. Pyriproxyfen is distributed into the home on fur and skin shed by the pets and prevents flea eggs and larvae from developing into the next stage of the flea life cycle. It is not necessary to treat your home with sprays or other products if your pets are treated with Advantage®II and are allowed to roam your entire home. It is recommended that you apply Advantage to your cat or dog once a month , or to your rabbit once a week all year round to achieve protection from fleas.

They keep your house pest-free. You probably already know that cats like to hunt rodents. But they’re also natural insect killers, too, offering the kind of household protection that Venus flytraps promise but rarely deliver. Many cats thoroughly enjoy exterminating bugs such as house flies and spiders, almost like they’re being paid for it. Advantage products are typically applied as a monthly treatment every 30 days for the best protection.
