Fast Relief for Your Dog

Applying Advantage® flea control to your canine companion is fast and easy. Advantage is available in four different dosages, which your veterinarian will determine based on your pet's weight. (Advantage for dogs should not be used on any other type of animal. Always consult your veterinarian prior to application.)

For dogs and puppies 7 weeks and older:

• Puppies/Dogs 10 lbs. and under
• Dogs 11-20 lbs.
• Dogs 21-55 lbs.
• Dogs over 55 lbs.

If your dog weighs 20 lbs. or less, follow these steps:

1. Remove one applicator tube from the package.
2. Hold applicator tube in an upright position. Pull off the cap.
3. Turn the cap around and place other end of cap back on tube.
4. Twist cap to break seal, then remove cap from tube.
5. The dog should be standing for easy application. Part the hair between the dog's shoulder blades on his/her back until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the tube on the skin and squeeze the tube twice to expel the entire contents directly on the skin. Do not get this product in your pet's eyes or mouth.
6. Discard empty tube by securely wrapping in several layers of newspaper and discarding in trash.

For dogs 21 lbs. and over:

Follow directions above, except in step 5, apply the entire contents of the tube to three or four spots on the top of the back from the shoulder to the base of the tail.
