Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are the active ingredients in Advantage II Kitten (2–5 lb.)?

Ans: Advantage II Kitten contains imidacloprid (9.10%) and pyriproxyfen (0.46%), which kill adult fleas and prevent eggs and larvae from developing. This combination provides immediate knockdown and ongoing lifecycle interruption when applied monthly as directed.

Q2: Is Advantage II Kitten safe for kittens under 8 weeks?

Ans: No. Use only on kittens 8 weeks or older. Treating younger kittens risks adverse effects. If you have a kitten younger than 8 weeks, consult your veterinarian for safe alternatives and guidance tailored to very young animals.

Q3: How often should I apply Advantage II Kitten?

Ans: Apply one tube once every 30 days to maintain continuous flea protection. Monthly application ensures residual activity and lifecycle control; consult your veterinarian for exceptional circumstances, heavy infestations, or if combining with other parasite control measures.

Q4: How quickly does Advantage II Kitten kill fleas?

Ans: Imidacloprid typically begins killing adult fleas rapidly, with a significant reduction in flea activity often observed within 12 hours after application. The pyriproxyfen component prevents immature stages from developing, helping reduce reinfestation over time.

Q5: Can I bathe my kitten after application?

Ans: Avoid bathing or shampooing for 24 hours after application to allow the product to absorb and become water-resistant. After 24 hours, normal water exposure generally will not significantly reduce the monthly effectiveness of the treatment.

Q6: What should I do if my kitten licks the application site?

Ans: Prevent licking until the site is dry. If ingestion occurs and you notice any unusual signs, such as vomiting, drooling, or lethargy, contact your veterinarian or local poison control for guidance, and monitor the kitten closely.

Q7: Can I use Advantage II Kitten with other flea products?

Ans: Consult your veterinarian before combining treatments. A veterinarian can advise on safe combinations to avoid overdosing or interactions while optimizing immediate relief and long-term flea control strategies for your kitten and household.

Q8: Will Advantage II Kitten help control fleas in my home?

Ans: The pyriproxyfen in Advantage II inhibits egg and larval development on treated kittens, which helps reduce environmental reinfestation when combined with home cleaning, vacuuming, and treating other pets or areas as recommended.

Q9: Are there storage instructions for Advantage II Kitten?

Ans: Store tubes in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Follow label disposal instructions for used tubes and consult local regulations for proper disposal of packaging.

Q10: Where can I find full label and safety information for Advantage II Kitten?

Ans: Refer to the official product label and package insert for complete dosage, precautions, first‑aid, and regulatory details. Consult your veterinarian for personalized advice, especially for kittens with medical conditions or special needs.
