Overview
Instructions: 1) Remove the tube from the container just before use. Keep the tube's crimped end upright (with the tip up). Rotate the cap a full turn clockwise or counterclockwise. The cap is designed to stay on the tube during treatment and cannot be removed. The tube is open and ready to use when you hear or feel a click. The click guarantees that the seal is intact, allowing you to apply the product to your dog. 2) For application, make sure the dog is upright or lying down (back horizontal). At the application site, part the fur. Place the tube's tip on the skin between the dog's shoulder blades, vertically. 3) Compress the tube and apply to one or more places carefully. Begin between the shoulder blades and work your way down the back. Do not use an inordinate amount of product in one area. The solution may leak or run off as a result of this. Water immersion or bathing have no influence on the efficacy of Bravecto against fleas or Ixodes ricinus ticks after 3 days.
