Applying Advantage II to your dog is a straightforward process, but it's essential to do it correctly to effectively eliminate fleas and prevent any irritation.
- Ensure your dog’s coat is completely dry before application.
- Part your dog’s fur to expose the skin at the base of the neck or between the shoulder blades.
- Apply the entire contents of the Advantage II tube directly onto the skin.
- Avoid bathing your dog for at least 24 hours after application.
- Wash your hands after application to prevent any accidental contact with your face or eyes.
Proper application ensures that the medication spreads effectively through your dog's skin oils, killing fleas quickly and reducing the chance of irritation. Following these steps helps maintain your dog's comfort and ensures that the product works as intended.
