HOW TO USE: Wet the animal's coat with water. Apply shampoo along the back of the animal, working it into a lather. Apply more shampoo working down the legs, paying attention to the foot pads (between the toes) and the underbody areas. Pay special attention to the base of the tail, as it is a place frequented by fleas. Wash the head and ear areas carefully, making sure to keep the shampoo out of the animal's eyes.

 

NOTE: A drop of glycerin in each eye before bathing can prevent or reduce irritation if the shampoo gets in the animal's eyes. Once the animal is "fully lathered", let stand for 5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with water.

 

For small dogs and cats under 15 pounds, it is advisable to wrap animal in a towel to absorb moisture for several minutes. This also will allow dying fleas and ticks to crawl off pet into towel before drying further with a towel or blow dryer. Flea and tick control on the pet is only part of the solution of the problem. The inside of the house and the outdoor area used by the pet must also be treated for complete control.
