Directions for use
External use only. Apply the product directly to the skin according to the animal's weight, as follows 1 pipette of 4.02 ml for a dog weighing between 40 kg and 60 kg.
Detach one pipette and hold it in an upright position. Tap the narrow end of the pipette to ensure that the contents have settled into the centre of the pipette. Break off the self-breaking tip of the spot-on pipette along the engraved line. Spread the animal's hair until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette directly on the skin. Gently squeeze several times to completely empty the contents of the pipette at one or two points along the back. Ensure that the product is applied to an area that the animal cannot lick and that animals do not lick each other after treatment. Do not apply an excessive amount of product to any one area to avoid the hair becoming sticky. However, if this happens, the stickiness will disappear within 24 hours of application.
