DIRECTIONS FOR USE – USE ONLY AS DIRECTED

For spot-on use.

• Remove the plastic ampoule from the package and cut the ampoule at the neck to open.
• Apply by parting your dog’s coat on the back between the shoulder blades and to the tips of the ears where flies are a problem.
• Squeeze the solution directly onto the skin.
• Avoid applying the solution to the hair and do not rub into the skin as this will reduce the product’s efficacy.
• For dogs and puppies weighing up to and including 15 kg, for example an adult Cocker Spaniel, apply 1 plastic ampoule (i.e., 1 mℓ) onto the skin between the shoulder blades and on the ears. For dogs and puppies weighing more than 15 kg, apply 2 plastic ampoules (i.e., 2 x 1 mℓ).
• Apply 1 ampoule onto the skin between the shoulder blades plus ears and 1 ampoule onto skin on the back at the base of the tail.

FREQUENCY OF USE

Exspot^® Spot-on for Dogs will give your dog more than 4 weeks protection and control against flies, ticks (kennel ticks/brown dog ticks) and fleas. In the case of severe infestation, it is safe to reapply a further treatment 7 days after the initial dose. If your dog gets very wet (i.e., shampooing or swimming) then the protection will be reduced, and you should reapply the solution. Note: the 7-day limit still applies.
