Application

A small dog below 4 kg weight requires no more than a single spot on its neck with the advantix® 0.4 ml pipette. For a big dog of more than 25 kg weight the advantix® 4.0 ml pipette should be applied on four spots along its back.

With monthly treatment the pet gains year-round protection against nasty parasites. For dermal use only.

Treatment Recommendations

To reduce re-infestation from emergence of new fleas, it is recommended to treat all dogs in a household. Other per animals living in the same household should also be treated with a suitable product. To aid further in reducing environmental challenge, the additional use of a suitable environmental treatment against adult fleas and their developmental stages is recommended.

Water Exposure

The product remains effective if the animal becomes wet. However, prolonged, intense exposure to water should be avoided. In cases of frequent water exposure the persistent efficacy may be reduced. In these cases do not retreat more frequently than once weekly. If the dog needs a shampooing, it should be better performed before applying advantix® or at least two weeks later, to ensure satisfactory efficacy of the product.

How to open

Remove one pipette from the package. Hold applicator pipette in an upright position, twist and pull cap off. Turn the cap around and place the other end of cap back on pipette. Twist cap to break seal, then remove cap from pipette.

Spot-on Application

The dog should be standing for easy application. The entire contents of the advantix® pipette should be applied evenly to four spots on the top of the back from the shoulder to the base of the tail. At each spot, part the hair until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and gently squeeze to expel a portion of the solution on the skin. 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.
