How to Use

Directions for Use

• Get your dog ready: Gently soak your dog’s coat with warm water for a few minutes until it’s fully wet and ready for shampoo.
• Work in the shampoo: Start washing from the head and ears, then move down the neck, chest, back, and legs to spread the shampoo evenly all over.
• Pay attention to flea spots: Work up a good lather around the base of the tail, belly, and between the toes, these are the places fleas like to hide.
• Let it sit: Leave the shampoo on for about five minutes so it has time to do its job.
• Rinse well: Rinse your dog thoroughly with clean water until all the shampoo, residue, and any fleas are washed away.
• Dry carefully: If your dog is small (under 15 pounds), wrap them in a towel for a few minutes first, then finish drying completely.
• Don’t overdo it: Only repeat the bath once a week unless your vet tells you otherwise.

Precautions

• For external use only: This shampoo is meant strictly for topical use on dogs and puppies, never for internal use.
• Avoid contact with eyes: Prevent shampoo from entering your dog’s eyes; if contact occurs, rinse gently with water.
• Do not use on cats: The formula is made exclusively for dogs and puppies and can be toxic if used on cats.
• Consult vet for sensitive pets: Avoid using on pregnant, nursing, or elderly dogs without veterinary guidance.
• Wash hands after use: Always wash your hands thoroughly after bathing your dog to prevent skin irritation.

Possible Side Effects

• Allergic reaction risk: Though rare, allergic responses can occur; contact a veterinarian if irritation persists.

Storage Information

• Store it where it stays fresh: Find a cool, dry spot in your home to keep the bottle, away from sunlight or heat, so it stays in good condition for your dog’s next bath.
• Keep your pet’s food safe: Make sure the shampoo isn’t stored near your dog’s food or your own, so there’s no chance of mixing things up.
• Dispose of it responsibly: When you’ve used it all, throw the empty bottle away instead of refilling or reusing it to keep things clean and safe for you and your pet.
