Instructions
Frontline Plus
Remove the correct-sized pipette from its foil packaging. Which pipette you use is determined by your pet's weight. Consult the chart on the package which is also available on the Frontline Plus website.
Break the tip off of the pipette at the serrated line.
Apply the medication to an area where the dog cannot lick or scratch. The back of the neck is recommended by the product's manufacturer. Part your dog's fur and drop the medication right on the skin with the pipette.
Sentry Flea Shampoo with Permethrin
Brush your pet before bathing it. This will make bathing it easier.
Put a cotton ball in each of your dog's ears. Dr. Larry Deusch, a veterinarian, says that doing this can prevent ear infections.
Put on rubber gloves to protect your hands.
Wet your pet's fur with warm water.
Dispense a generous amount of shampoo on your pet's back.
Lather up the flea shampoo and make sure to get into the deepest parts of your pet's fur. Don't get shampoo in your pet's face and take particular care around the eyes.
Rinse the product from your pet with warm water.
Dry your pet with a towel.
Brush your pet's fur to prevent it from tangling.
Remove the cotton balls from your dog's ears.
