How should flea drops be applied? - in detail

Before treatment, verify the pet’s weight and select the spot‑on product whose dosage matches that weight range. Read the label for any species‑specific warnings.

Apply the medication while the animal is calm and its coat is dry. Part the fur at the base of the neck, between the shoulder blades, and press the calibrated pipette directly onto the skin. Release the entire dose in one spot; the liquid will spread over the surface area through natural oils.

After application, keep the pet from licking the treated area for at least 15 minutes. Avoid bathing, swimming, or excessive grooming for 24 hours to allow full absorption. Observe the animal for signs of irritation, vomiting, or lethargy; contact a veterinarian if adverse reactions appear.

Key points for effective use:

  • Confirm correct dosage according to weight.
  • Apply to clean, dry skin at the prescribed location.
  • Prevent licking until the product dries.
  • Delay bathing or swimming for a full day.
  • Monitor for side‑effects and seek professional advice if needed.
