- How often do I apply it?
- Once a month. Apply to the skin between the shoulder blades, parting the fur so the liquid reaches skin rather than coat.
- Can I use it on puppies or cats?
- It is for dogs only and not for puppies under 12 weeks. Never apply a dog product to a cat; use a cat-specific product instead.
- Does it kill ticks as well as fleas?
- Yes, it targets fleas and ticks and also contains an insect growth regulator that stops flea eggs and larvae from developing.
- Can my dog swim or be bathed after application?
- Wait until the product has dried, and avoid bathing or swimming for a couple of days. Frequent washing shortens the residual protection.
- How does it compare with vet-prescribed spot-ons?
- It costs less and adds egg and larval control, but vet-channel products such as those with fipronil or isoxazolines are generally considered stronger and longer-lasting, especially against heavy infestations.
- What if my dog reacts at the application site?
- Bathe the area with mild soap and water and stop using it. Contact your vet if redness, itching or hair loss persists.
