How It Works

Imidacloprid kills adult fleas through contact, so fleas do not need to bite your dog before they are eliminated.
Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that kills flea eggs and flea larvae, helping interrupt the flea life cycle and reduce future infestations.
Together, these ingredients provide comprehensive monthly flea control.
