Directions for Use & Application Guidelines

Use 1 to 2 times weekly for active parasite control, or as advised by your veterinarian:

• Application on the Pet:

  1. Dusting: Dust the powder liberally over your pet's entire body, beginning from the neck and working toward the base of the tail, belly, and inner thighs (avoiding the eyes, nose, and mouth).

  2. Rubbing In: Gently brush or rub the coat against the direction of hair growth using your hand or a soft brush so the powder reaches the skin surface where parasites reside.

  3. Leave On: Do not wash off. Allow the powder to remain on the coat to maintain continuous repellent activity.

• Application on Bedding & Environment:

  • Sprinkle an even layer of powder over pet sleeping mats, bed cushions, floor rugs, and crate interiors once a week. Leave for 1–2 hours, then lightly vacuum or shake out to eliminate hiding pests and larvae.
