Directions for Use & Administration Protocol

For oral administration in dogs only under direct veterinary prescription:

1. Verify Exact Body Weight: Confirm that your dog weighs between 10 kg and 20 kg prior to administration.

2. Administer with Meals (Mandatory): Always give Aventix with or immediately following a regular meal. Dietary fats enhance the intestinal absorption and systemic bioavailability of fluralaner.

3. Feeding Technique: Offer the chewable tablet directly from your hand like a treat. If your dog hesitates, place it directly into a small portion of wet food, gravy, or meat.

4. Monitor Ingestion: Observe your dog for several minutes to verify that the tablet is chewed and swallowed completely. Do not divide or crush the tablet unless directed by your veterinarian.

5. Re-Treatment Interval: Administer one tablet once every 12 weeks (every 3 months) for continuous, year-round defense against ticks, fleas, and mites.
