To reduce re-infestations with new fleas, it is recommended that all dogs in a household be treated. Other pets in
the same family or household must be treated with appropriate products. For fleas originating from the animal's environment,
the additional use of an appropriate product for the treatment against adult fleas and their developmental stages is recommended. The product is active even if the animal is wet. However, prolonged exposure to water should be avoided. In case of prolonged exposure
to water, the efficacy of the product decreases. Even in this case, it should not be treated more frequently than once a week. If it is
necessary to shampoo the animal, it is advisable to apply Advantix spot-on solution for dogs after two weeks
to ensure the efficacy of the product.

Method of administration.
Remove one pipette from the package. Hold the pipette upright, twist and remove the cap. Turn the cap upside down and use it to break the seal of the pipette (by twisting and pressing on the seal, as shown in the photo).
For dogs weighing 10 kg or less:
With the dog standing, part the hair between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Apply the tip of the pipette directly to the skin and
squeeze firmly several times to empty the contents of the pipette. Apply only to unbroken skin.
For dogs weighing more than 10 kg:
With the dog standing, the entire contents of the Advantix spot-on solution for dogs pipette will be applied evenly in four places,
starting between the shoulder blades and extending to the base of the tail. At each site, part the hair until the skin is visible. Apply the tip of the pipette to the skin and
gently squeeze to release some of the solution onto the skin.

Recommendations for correct administration
For external use only.
Apply only to unbroken skin.
Do not apply a large amount of solution in one place as it may run down the sides of the dog.

Withdrawal period
Not applicable.

Special precautions for storage
Keep out of the sight and reach of children.

Special precautions for use in animals
The contents of the pipette must not come into contact with the eyes and mouth of the treated dog.
Pay attention to the correct administration of the product as described in the "Method of administration" section. In particular, oral ingestion
by licking the application site or contact with other animals should be avoided.
Do not use on cats.
This product is highly toxic to cats and can cause death due to the physiological peculiarities of cats
who are unable to metabolize certain compounds, including permethrin. To prevent accidental exposure of
cats to this product, treated dogs should be kept separate from cats after treatment until the application site is dry.
Measures should be taken to ensure that cats do not lick the application site of dogs that have been treated with this product. Seek
immediate veterinary assistance if this happens.
Consult your veterinarian before using this product on sick and debilitated animals.
As the product is dangerous to aquatic organisms, treated dogs must not be allowed to enter any surface water
for at least 48 hours after treatment.

Wash hands thoroughly after product application.
If the product accidentally gets on the skin, wash the area immediately with soap and water.
People with known skin sensitivity may be particularly sensitive to this product.
If the product accidentally gets into the eyes, wash the eyes with plenty of water. If skin or eye symptoms persist, or the product is
accidentally swallowed, seek immediate medical advice and show the product leaflet to the doctor.
Treated dogs should not be allowed to play, especially with children, until the application site is dry. To be safe, treat dogs, for

Other information
Advantix spot-on solution for dogs is a topical ectoparasiticide containing imidacloprid and permethrin.
This combination acts as an insecticide, acaricide and repellent.

Imidacloprid is an ectoparasiticide belonging to the chloronicotinyl group of compounds. Chemically, it can be classified
as chloronicotinyl nitroguanidine. Imidacloprid is effective against adult fleas and their larval stages. In addition to
its efficacy against adult fleas, the larvicidal efficacy of the substance has also been demonstrated for sites in the animal's habitat.
The product provides repellent (anti-feeding) action against ticks, sandflies and mosquitoes, thereby preventing
parasite blood feeding and reducing the risk of transmission of vector-borne diseases (Canine Vector-Borne Disease or
CVBD, such as borreliosis, rickettsiosis, ehrlichiosis, leishmaniasis).
It can be used during gestation and lactation.
The solvent in Advantix spot-on solution for dogs may stain certain materials such as leather, fabrics, plastic and finished surfaces. Allow
the application site to dry before contact with such materials.
