Feeding & use
Apply the full contents of one tube to the skin between the shoulder blades, where your kitten can't lick it off. Part the fur, place the applicator tip against the skin, and squeeze. Reapply every 30 days for continuous protection.
Allow the application to dry before bathing or letting your kitten get wet. Always confirm your kitten meets the 8-week age and under-2.3 kg weight requirements before use, and follow the package directions on your specific tube.
