It’s easy to use Advantage® Treatment Shampoo for Dogs & Puppies. Simply follow these Advantage® shampoo directions:
1. Wet your dog’s coat for 2-3 minutes with warm water.
2. Apply shampoo on their head and ears, and lather. Be sure to wash their head and ear areas carefully, making sure to keep shampoo out of your dog’s eyes.
3. Then repeat procedure with neck, chest, and middle and hindquarters, finishing legs last and paying special attention to the footpads (between the toes) and underbody areas.
4. Be sure to thoroughly lather at the base of the tail, as it is a place most frequented by fleas.
5. Fully lather your dog and let lather remain on them for 5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with water.
6. For small dogs weighing less than 15 pounds, wrapping the animal in a towel for several minutes to absorb moisture is recommended. This will allow the dying fleas and ticks to crawl off your pet into the towel before drying them with a towel.
NOTE: A drop of glycerin in each eye before bathing may prevent or reduce irritation if the shampoo gets in the animal’s eyes.
Be sure to thoroughly read product label directions and precautionary statements before use.

Advantage® II for dogs combines two active ingredients:
* Imidacloprid attacks the flea's nervous system - paralyzing and ultimately killing it.
* Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that kills flea eggs and larvae.
This combination plays a crucial role in treating and preventing infestations, because:
* In an existing infestation, you might only be aware of the adult fleas, which only represent around 5% of the full infestation and are found on the pet.
* Immature flea life stages which live in the pet's environment consist of around 95% of the infestation and can be almost invisible to the naked eye.
Contact your veterinarian if your dog ingests more than the recommended dose of advantus®.

Once you bathe your dog with flea shampoo, you should not repeat any treatment for 7 days. Sensitivities may occur using any pesticide product for pets.

The Seresto® collar works with a patented polymer matrix of two active ingredients, which spread from the site of direct contact over the skin surface of your dog:
- Imidacloprid has been used in products for years to control flea infestations.
- Flumethrin effectively kills and repels ticks.
- Flumethrin works together with imidacloprid to provide dual action against fleas and ticks. No other product has this combination of ingredients.
Sustained release technology
Seresto® works similarly to a monthly topical in the fact that the active ingredients spread from the site of direct contact over the skin surface. The active ingredients in Seresto® are released in low concentrations from within the collar and, thanks to your pet's skin and coat, spread from head to toes, even the tail. As the active ingredients wear off over time, a new supply is continuously replenished in low concentrations for 8 months. The long-lasting, 8-month duration of Seresto® differentiates it from other flea and tick collars.
Yes, advantus® has an expiration date. You can find it on the product label near the barcode.

HUMAN WARNINGS: Children should not come in contact with the application site for 30 minutes after application.
Advantage® II for cats combines two active ingredients:
* Imidacloprid attacks the flea's nervous system - paralyzing and ultimately killing it.
* Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that kills flea eggs and larvae.
This combination plays a crucial role in treating and preventing infestations, because:
* In an existing infestation, you might only be aware of the adult fleas, which only represent around 5% of the full infestation and are found on the pet.
* Immature flea life stages which live in the pet's environment consist of around 95% of the infestation and can be almost invisible to the naked eye.
Yes! Your dog is free to take a dip after K9 Advantix® II has been on for 24 hours. More frequent swimming may keep the product from working for the full 30 days.
Life happens. If you forget or miss a dose, simply treat your cat immediately. Advantage Multi® for Cats is heartworm prevention that forgives if you forget. *It kills newly acquired heartworm larvae (baby worms) throughout the month to prevent further infection.
*After a single dose, if you forget and go more than 30 days in between treatments, just treat immediately and resume your monthly schedule.

Advantage® II flea prevention is applied to your cat topically, spreading over the skin and hair. It kills fleas through contact, so fleas do not have to bite your cat to die. With oral flea medications, fleas have to bite your cat and ingest the medication before they are killed.
Seresto® kills fleas and ticks.
Seresto® was designed with specific ingredients at doses that are active against fleas and ticks. Studies show that fleas and ticks are highly susceptible to the combination of imidacloprid and flumethrin found in Seresto®.The continuous distribution technology ensures that both active ingredients are slowly and continuously released from the collar toward the animal. This ensures that concentrations of both active ingredients are present on the dog during the entire protection period. The active ingredients spread from the site of direct contact over the skin surface.
The active ingredients in Advantage® Household Spot & Crevice Spray are specially formulated to kill household pests — fleas, ticks, bed bugs, and crawling insects and spiders.
To Kill Bed Bugs and Bed Bug Eggs: Apply as a spot treatment to cracks and crevices and/or harborages where evidence of bed bugs occurs, including bed frames, box springs, inside empty dressers, furniture and clothes closets, carpet edges, high and low wall moldings, behind headboards, pictures, wallpaper edges and luggage. Do not make surface applications to mattress or bedding. Mattress treatments must be limited to seam, folds and edges only. Spray bed bugs directly whenever possible. Do not treat pillows, bedding or clothing, and remove linens and wash before reuse. Allow treated mattress to dry thoroughly before remaking the bed. Remove all clothes and other articles from dressers or clothes closets before an application. Allow all treated areas to dry thoroughly before use.
To Kill Listed Crawling Insects and Spiders: Spray as a spot or crack-and-crevice application where insects are harboring, moving or breeding. Treat feeding or hiding areas such as baseboards, carpet, floor, rugs, under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks and stoves. Also remember to treat interior entry points such as doors, and around windows and water pipes.
To Kill Brown Dog Ticks and Fleas: Spray around beds, furniture and your pet’s habitat. Spray your pet’s sleeping quarters, bedding, carpeting, floor and floor covering where pets are kept. Do not apply to your pet. Use only a recommended pet spray on pets.
Be sure to thoroughly read product label directions and precautionary statements before use.
Although K9 Advantix® II kills fleas on your dog, there may still be fleas in your dog’s environment that have since jumped on after treatment. Luckily, with K9 Advantix® II, new fleas are killed within 2 hours with protection against further infestation for at least 4 weeks. As fleas die they are no longer able to stay hidden against your dog’s skin, and therefore you may also be seeing dying fleas coming to the surface of your dog’s fur coat.
This flea spray can be used on many areas in your home, including cracks, crevices, walls, baseboards, floors, floorboards, carpets, rugs, closets, mattresses, box springs, headboards, under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks and stoves. It can also treat interior entry points such as doors, and around windows and water pipes.
However, do not apply this indoor flea spray to surfaces where prolonged human contact will occur — such as bed linens — as it may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. And be sure to remove pets and birds, and cover fish aquariums before spraying. Additionally, when using this flea spray for home, all food preparation and eating surfaces as well as utensils should be covered during treatment, or thoroughly washed before use.
