How to Use Advantage Flea Control on Breeding Dogs

Keeping breeding dogs healthy is of the utmost importance to owners as well as prospective buyers.  Advantage Flea and Tick control is sold in pet stores without a prescription and protects coats and skin by preventing scratching, helps prevent the development of internal parasites and also protects against diseases such as Lyme disease. 

Things You'll Need:

• Hypoallergenic dog shampoo


• Bath towel or blow dryer


• Advantage Flea Control for dogs in the proper dose for the
  animal's weight


• Old newspaper

1. 
   

   Wet the dog thoroughly with warm water. Apply shampoo to the
   animal's coat and lather it in avoiding contact with the dog's mouth and
   eyes. Add more shampoo as needed. Rinse the pet with warm water until no
   shampoo is left in the fur.

   
   


2. 
   

   Blow dry the dog's coat until the fur is completely dry.
   Should a blow dryer not be available, or frightens the dog, use a
   bath towel to dry the fur as much as possible then allow the fur to
   finish drying in the air.

   
   


3. 
   

   Remove one ampule from the package of Advantage. Hold the tube
   in an upright position to avoid spillage. Remove the cap and turn
   it around so that the sharp end is facing the sealed tube. Press and
   twist the cap with the point touching the ampule to break the seal.

   
   


4. 
   

   Have the dry dog stand for ease of application. For dogs weighing up to 20 pounds: Part the fur between the
   dog's shoulder blades. Touch the applicator tip directly against
   the dog's skin. Squeezes the tube gently to slowly apply the entire
   dosage onto the animal. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth. For dogs weighing more than 20 pounds: Apply the medication in three to four spots along the dog's spine from the middle of the shoulder
   blades to the base of the tail. Each spot should have a portion of
   the product applied in the same method described above. Do not
   over apply in any one area as it may cause the Advantage to drip
   down the side of the dog.

   
   


5. 
   

   Wrap the used ampule in several layers of old newspaper. Dispose
   of in a trash bin.

   
   


6. 
   

   Wash your hands with soap and warm water.

   
   


7. 
   

   Retreat after seven days if fleas are still visible. Repeat once
   every four weeks after fleas are no longer present on the dog.
