Step 5: Place the tip of the tube on the skin and squeeze it firmly several times to empty the contents directly onto the skin. Do not rub the product in. Allow it to dry naturally. From this application site, the treatment will then spread throughout the rest of your pet’s skin for full protection.

Note: only apply to intact skin. Keep recently treated animals separated for 12 hours so they can’t groom each other. It is recommended to keep your cat off leather furniture and wood floors while the product dries.
