Overview
Administration Directions:
  1. Take tube out of package.
  2. Hold the tube upright. When held correctly, the expiration date and lot number should be visible (which are printed on the bottom of the applicator tube).
  3. Snap the tip of the applicator off by bending it backward.
  4. Part your dog's hair along his or her back. Application should occur in front of the shoulder blades at the base of the dog's neck, and the dog's skin should be clearly visible.
  5. Place the applicator tip against the dog's skin. Squeeze the tube 3 to 4 times until the contents are completely dispensed in a one location.
  6. Keeping the tube squeezed, drag the applicator away and lift to remove the applicator from the dog's skin.
  7. Look at the applicator to verify thorough dispensing.




Take care during application:

  • Not to massage into the skin
  • To avoid contact with your own skin
  • To dispose of the empty tube properly (in your regular household garbage)
  • Not to apply to broken skin (because of the alcohol content of the product)
  • To wait 24 hours to shampoo or bathe the pet
  • Not to apply to a wet coat



Hair clumping, discoloration, or stiffness could occur at the site of application, as could a powdery residue. Rest assured that these effects are short-term and normal, and they should not be alarming.
