WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

• Fipronil is an antiparasitic agent
• Sprayed topically

REASONS FOR PRESCRIBING:

• Used to kill adult fleas, ticks and chewing lice in cats and dogs 8 weeks of age and older
• Controls sarcoptic mange mites on dogs

Read and follow the label carefully.

Ruffle the animal's coat with one hand while applying spray mist to the animal's back, sides, stomach, legs, shoulders and neck. To treat the head and eye area, spray mist onto a gloved hand and rub gently into the animal's hair. Do not get this product in your pet's eyes or mouth. Apply spray mist until animal's hair is damp to thoroughly wet. Use ~1-2 pumps/lb body weight. Pets with long or dense coats will require the higher rate.

Use prior to onset of flea season and monthly thereafter.

Product performance is unaffected by exposure to moderate rainfall or by bathing with most brands of pet shampoo.

Ticks do not need to receive spray directly upon their body for complete control.

Multiple monthly treatments are recommended for elimination of mites.

*Fipronil Spray for Cats and Dogs kills fleas up to 3 months and ticks for at least one month. A once monthly application is recommended where there is a high risk of re-infestation, the pet has fleas or in situations where tick or chewing lice control is needed. If you live in an area with less severe flea problems, or in an area where ticks are not a threat, Fipronil Spray for Cats and Dogs can be applied once every 2-3 months.
