Depending on the season and where a pet owner lives, fleas can be a big problem. Unfortunately, in warmer climates, fleas can be a year-long concern. While some colder areas have a few months to rest easy, fleas are never far from finding their next home. What's more is that these small pests are nothing more than a pain and concern for the pet owner and dog or cat.

"Our pets deserve to be happy and healthy. Advecta II provides relief for pet parents who are looking for an effective and easy-to-use solution that treats and prevents fleas," said Glen Moore, Vice President of Marketing at True Science, maker of Advecta II. "Finding a flea product that is affordable and provides the same quality as other leading brands is now possible with Advecta II."
