Troubleshooting
Product appears ineffective after application.
Ensure the correct dosage was applied for the dog's weight. Check the application site to confirm the liquid was applied directly to the skin and not just the fur. Ensure no bathing occurred within 48 hours of application. Reapply only if directed by a veterinarian or if the full treatment period has passed.
Dog shows signs of skin irritation at the application site.
Gently wash the area with mild soap and water. Monitor for any worsening symptoms. If irritation persists or is severe, consult your veterinarian immediately.
Accidental application to another pet (e.g., cat).
If applied to a cat, wash the cat immediately with mild soap and water. Contact your veterinarian for advice, as fipronil can be toxic to cats.
Pipette is difficult to open.
Ensure you are twisting and pulling the correct part of the cap. If still difficult, try using a tissue to get a better grip or carefully use pliers to snap off the top, being careful not to spill the contents.
