Suggested use

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Shake vigorously before each use. Please read all directions carefully before application. Spray directly on fur, including legs and stomach, using a flea comb to work into the coat (if necessary). Avoid spraying directly around the animal's nose, mouth, and eyes. When applying near the animal's head, apply the spray to a cloth and then wipe around the animal's face. Reapply 1-2 times per week before the animal goes outside. Reapply after grooming or when animal becomes wet. Avoid soaking the animal with the spray. This spray can be used on pet bedding, grooming tools, blankets, carpet, rugs, pillows and upholstery. Although this product is designed to be non-staining, we suggest that you apply a small amount in an inconspicuous area to test for colorfastness.
