- Is Advantage II worth it over a chewable flea pill?
- Advantage II is a solid choice if you want a no-prescription topical that also kills eggs and larvae. Oral pills like Bravecto or NexGard last longer and cover ticks, but they require a vet. For flea-only control at a low upfront cost, Advantage II does the job.
- How does Advantage II differ from original Advantage?
- Original Advantage contains only imidacloprid and kills adult fleas. Advantage II adds pyriproxyfen, an insect growth regulator that stops eggs and larvae from developing, so it also breaks the life cycle.
- How long does one dose last and is it waterproof?
- Each dose protects for 30 days. The formula is waterproof after 24 hours, so you can bathe the dog or let it swim after that window, but avoid wetting the spot for the first day.
- Can I use Advantage II on cats or small dogs?
- No. This box is for dogs 21-55 lbs only, and the product must never be used on cats. For dogs under 21 lbs or for cats, buy the matching size or species version.
- What is in the box?
- The box contains four monthly topical applicator tubes, a 4-month supply for one dog in the 21-55 lb range. There is no prescription and no other equipment included.
- When is the best time to buy it?
- Flea season drives prices up in spring and summer. Buying a 4-month box in fall or winter, or stocking up when a store runs a multi-box promotion, usually lands the lowest per-dose price.
