They are perfect for dogs that won’t stay still long enough for you to squirt all the contents of a topical in the right place between the shoulder blades.
Often, dogs shake immediately after application and send the liquid all over the place, sometimes even on you. Then they’ll lie down and roll on the furniture, the carpet, or their bed, effectively rubbing the treatment off. In addition, if you have young children, it can be difficult to keep them from petting your dog as you wait for a topical to dry.
