ADVICE ON CORRECT ADMINISTRATION

wFor external use only.

wRemove the pipette from the package and hold it in an upright position.

wTap the narrow part of the pipette to ensure that the contents remain within the widest part.

wBreak the top of the snap-off top along the scored line. Part the coat on the back of the animal between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible.

wPlace the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze it gently several times at one or two spots to empty the contents onto the skin.

wApply the 5ml pipette to 2-3 spots down the backline of large dogs so as to prevent run-off.
