Advantage II for cats is a monthly topical solution designed to neutralize fleas and lice through simple contact with your cat’s hair and skin.

Unlike oral medications, this formula does not enter your feline's bloodstream. Instead, it spreads across your pet's skin and coat, which allows it to paralyze and eliminate parasites before they even have a chance to bite your companion. The treatment targets living parasites as well as eggs and larvae to effectively break the reproduction cycle and halt further infestation.

The treatment is contained in a small pipette for quick and easy application. Be sure to apply the entire contents of the tube, as the dosage is specifically calibrated to your cat’s weight. Never use a dog treatment on your cat.

Advantage II is a tested and safe product for cats. However, it is essential to follow the instructions for use to minimize any risk to your pet. To ensure your companion’s well-being and guarantee the treatment’s effectiveness, it is crucial to select the format that exactly matches their weight:

You can choose from four distinct formats designed for different needs:

It is imperative to use only the version specifically formulated for cats. If you have multiple pets at home, we recommend treating all of them and keeping them separated for a few hours following the application to prevent them from grooming each other before the product is completely dry.

This treatment meets rigorous safety standards to minimize the risk of side effects in cats. One of its main advantages is that it is applied topically, meaning that the product remains on your pet's skin rather than being absorbed into your pet's bloodstream, unlike tablets or oral treatments.

However, as with any treatment, rare reactions may occasionally occur. These usually manifest as mild irritation, itching at the point of application or, more rarely, a temporary change in behaviour. In the event of a persistent reaction, we advise you to seek your vet's advice promptly. As a precaution, we recommend that you keep an eye on your pet for a few hours after application to ensure that it shows no signs of discomfort.

Generally, you will notice positive results within the first 12 hours of application.

Advantage II treatment remains effective for an average of 30 days.

You can begin using Advantage II for cats starting at 8 weeks of age, provided they weigh more than 0.9 kg. If your kitten is younger or lighter than these requirements, we recommend consulting your veterinarian for guidance.

Advantage II is designed to be waterproof, ensuring the protection remains active even if your pet gets wet. However, it is recommended to wait for a period of 24 to 48 hours after application to allow the solution sufficient time to properly bond with the skin and coat.

While most cats do not require frequent bathing, if you must wash your pet, it is best to use a mild, non-medicated shampoo to guarantee the continued effectiveness of the treatment.

It is very important to prevent your cat from licking the solution, primarily because of the product's bitter taste, which can lead to excessive salivation or temporary nausea. If you notice that your pet has ingested a small amount of the product, we suggest rinsing their mouth with fresh water and monitoring their condition. To ensure a safe and effective application, we recommend following these tips:

  • Monitor your companion for the 2 hours following application to allow the product to dry completely.
  • Apply the solution precisely by parting the hair at the base of the skull, a spot where your cat cannot reach to lick themselves.
  • If you have multiple pets, separate them temporarily to prevent them from grooming each other

If your cat ingests a significant amount of the product or exhibits abnormal behavior, contact your veterinarian immediately.

No, you must never use Advantage II for dogs or any other dog flea treatment on your cat, as this could be toxic or even fatal.
