Directions for use  

For easy application, make sure your dog is standing before applying Advocate™. Remove your dog’s collar, and put it back on after the product is dry - except if your dog is wearing a Seresto™ collar. You don't need to remove it when applying Advocate™. 

Avoid applying the treatment near the eyes or mouth area as this may cause irritation. Wash your dog before application and apply Advocate™ when your dog is completely dry. 

Record the treatment date and repeat monthly or as directed.
