Flea control for your cat

Applying Advantage^® II flea control to your feline friend is fast and easy. There are three convenient package sizes which offer flexibility.

Advantage^® II should be used in a manner consistent with its labeling. Advantage^® II for cats should not be used on any other type of animal.

Being careful not to cut close to the blister cavities, take scissors and cut off one section of the card containing a single tube.
Take the separated section, and cut into the blister cavity across the small side, close to the cap of the tube.
Peel off the foil, and take out the tube.
Repeat steps 1 to 3 for each tube.

Use only on cats and kittens. Do not use on other animals.
Remove one applicator tube from the package. See "HOW TO OPEN" section.
Hold applicator tube in an upright position. Pull cap off tube.
Turn the cap around and place other end of cap back on tube.
Twist cap to break seal, then remove cap from tube.
Part the hair on 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 mouth. 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.
Discard empty tube as described in Storage and Disposal.
Under normal conditions the product is effective for a month. However, in cases of severe flea infestation, retreatment may be necessary earlier than four weeks. Do not retreat more often than once every fourteen (14) days for kittens or once every seven (7) days for small and large cats. After flea control is attained, return to a monthly retreatment schedule.
