Locate your dog

Nice work, dog parent! You have the world’s most convenient, affordable, and dependable flea and tick product — now find the dog or puppy that matches the box.

⚠️ Confirm your dog’s weight still matches the range listed on the box. (Pro Tip: Update photos of your pets anytime!)

⚠️ Use a treat as a tasty distraction.

⚠️ Don’t bathe your dog 48 hours before and after applying — the skin’s natural oils increase effectiveness.

Apply treatment

First, part your dog’s hair at their neck (base of the skull). Next, touch the applicator’s tip to the skin. Then, gently squeeze the tube to apply the entire treatment equally at 3-4 spots, ending at their tail’s base.
