Directions:

How to Open:

1. Ensure the applicator tube is positioned at the bottom of the pouch.
2. Using scissors, cut across the top of the pouch and remove the tube.

How to Apply:

1. Remove one applicator tube from the package.
2. Hold the tube upright and point it away from your face and your dog's eyes. Pull the cap off.
3. Turn the cap around, place the opposite end back onto the tube, and twist to break the seal. Remove the cap.
4. With your dog standing, part the hair until the skin is visible along the upper back, from the shoulder blades to the base of the tail.
5. Place the applicator tip directly against the skin and gently squeeze out the solution. Distribute the entire contents as directed on the product label, avoiding excessive application in any one spot that could cause runoff.
6. Avoid contact with your dog's eyes and prevent your dog from licking or ingesting the product.
7. Dispose of the empty applicator according to the package instructions.

Application Frequency: Apply once every 4 weeks under normal conditions. In cases of severe flea infestation, earlier retreatment may be necessary, but do not retreat more often than once every 7 days. Once flea control is established, resume the monthly schedule. Always follow the product label.
