Here's an illustration showing exactly how to apply these products directly onto your dog's back, beneath his thick coat.
Some Tips:
Just be careful not to overdo it...
It's important that you use the correct dosage based on the weight of your pet. And never apply a topical flea & tick preventative to a dog younger than 7 weeks of age.
Also, remember to always wash your hands very well after applying the product to your dog's coat ...or wear rubber or latex gloves when you're applying topical flea and tick treatments on your dog.
Just as important: If you have two or more dogs, don't allow them to "mouth" each others' fur for the next day or so. (Dogs often do this instinctively when they're playing.)
Despite the fact that these are the safest (and most effective) pesticides available for use on pets, you must remember: They are pesticides!

In fact, I distinctly remember the day I made the decision to switch from Purina Dog Chow (and other Purina blends, including Puppy Chow and Gravy Train) to what I thought of at the time as "a very expensive premium dog food": Nutro.
They say that Nutro's "Natural Choice" dog food is America's #1 Large Breed pet store dog food.
Our American Eskimo is 15 years young and STILL going strong.
In fact, he acts more and more like a cute cuddly puppy every day, rather than a crotchedy old canine these days.
Truth be told, we thought he would have left this world ages ago.
