For the prevention and treatment of flea infestations and for the treatment of biting lice (Trichodectes canis) on dogs of 10 kg to less than 25 kg body weight.
For dogs of less than 10 kg body weight or 25 kg body weight and greater, use the appropriate Advantage for Dogs product (see section 4.9).

Re-infestation from emergence of new fleas in the environment may continue to occur for six weeks or longer after treatment is initiated. More than one treatment may therefore be required, depending on the level of fleas in the environment. To aid in environmental challenge, the additional use of a suitable environmental treatment against adult fleas and their developing stages is recommended.
The product remains effective if the animal becomes wet, for example after swimming or exposure to heavy rain. However, in cases of frequent swimming or bathing retreatment may become necessary, depending on the presence of fleas in the environment. In these cases do not re-treat more frequently than once weekly.
In case of biting louse infestation, a further veterinary examination 30 days after treatment is recommended as some animals may require a second treatment.
Method of Administration
Remove one pipette from the package. For dogs of 40 kg body weight and greater use two pipettes. Hold pipette in an upright position, twist and pull off cap. Use reversed cap to twist and remove seal from pipette.
For dogs less than 25 kg body weight:
With the dog in the standing position, part the coat between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze firmly several times to empty the contents directly onto the skin.
For dogs of 25 kg body weight and greater:
The dog should be standing for easy application. The entire contents of the pipette(s) should be applied evenly to three or four spots all located at different application sites along the dog’s backline from the shoulder to the base of the tail. At each spot part the coat until the skin is visible.
Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and gently squeeze to expel a portion of the contents directly onto the skin.
For all dogs:
Do not apply an excessive amount of solution at any one spot that could cause some of the solution to run off the side of the dog.
The product is bitter tasting and salivation may occasionally occur if the dog licks the application site immediately after treatment. This is not a sign of intoxication and disappears within some minutes without treatment. Correct application will minimize the opportunity for the dog to lick the product.
Apply only to undamaged skin. Do not allow recently treated animals to groom each other.
Adverse reactions
The product is bitter tasting and salivation may occasionally occur if the dog licks the application site immediately after treatment. This is not a sign of intoxication and disappears within some minutes without treatment (see also section 4.9 Amounts to be administered and administration route).
In very rare occasions skin reactions such as hair loss, redness, itching and skin lesions may occur. Agitation and disorientation has also been reported. Excessive salivation and nervous signs such as incoordination, tremors and depression have been reported exceptionally in dogs.
