Follow our quick and easy steps below:

Open the pipette: Hold the pipette upright. Then, snap off the tip.
Apply in the right spot: Part the fur at the back of your pet's neck, between the shoulders, until you see the skin clearly underneath. This bit is super important - if you can't see the skin, the drops will land on your pet's fur, which can reduce the effectiveness.
Give it a squeeze! Place the tip of the pipette on the exposed skin, and squeeeeeeeze all the Itch Flea treatment liquid out. Every last drop. Your pet might wriggle a bit (but to be fair, you probably would, too).
Wash your hands. Your job is done! You can wash your hands of the whole thing (well, for another month until their next treatment anyway!)
High five! You're well on your way to a flea-free life.

House rules!

For top tier flea-killing-butt-kicking-strength, there are also some important rules to remember during and after you de flea your pet. These rules ensure maximum effectiveness of the flea treatment, to give the best results:

Treat all of your household pets at the same time (ideally in the evening).
Keep 'em dry. Your pet can't get wet for 48 hours. No baths, no rain showers, no rolling in muddy puddles.
No heavy petting. Don't pet the area you've treated until it's completely dry.
No licking. Don't let the pet you've treated or other pets in your home lick the treatment area; another reason it’s important to apply the flea solution to the back of your pet’s neck.
Don't let your pet sleep on your bed with you the night they've been treated. Enjoy the extra room, and the claws out of your face!

Protect your pet from fleas, ticks and lice.

Fleas, ticks and lice can be a nightmare, but with the right approach, you can take control and rid your pets and home of these bothersome pests. Remember that parasites can be persistent, so patience and regular treatment will be your best friends! By addressing both your pet and their environment, you can ensure a flea-free and comfortable living space for both your furry companion and your family.
