What special precautions are there?
Not for oral use. Never use on irritated skin. On some cats, matted, stiff hair or an oily, damp look of the hair might be seen at the treatment site. This is just transient and has no bearing on the product's efficacy or safety. Allow 30 minutes before allowing the cat to lick the application site or getting this substance in the cat's eyes or mouth. Grooming will reduce the chance of swallowing by treating the base of the skull. Keep pets apart in houses with many pets to avoid licking the application site.
What to do if overdose?
If overdose occurs, please contact your local pet hospital or emergency pet clinic immediately.
How can I store Advantage Multi for Cats?
Store at a temperature between 39° and 77° Fahrenheit (4° and 25° Celsius). Keep in a cool and dry location.
Helpful Tips:
Make sure to watch your cat for 30 minutes after you put this product on them. This will make sure that they do not lick the product off and eat it. You should also keep them separate from other animals in your house so that they don't accidentally eat any of the product.
Overview
1) Remove a tube from its package, administering as directed (based on body weight). If your cat weighs over 18 pounds, use a combination of tubes to treat their exact body weight. Dosing recommendations are 0.45 mg per pound of moxidectin and 4.5 mg per pound of imidacloprid administered topically once monthly. 2) Position the tube upright and remove the tube cap. 3) Flip the cap and press the other end onto the tube tip. 4) Break the seal by twisting the cap, then take the cap off of the tube. 5) Part the hair at the base of the head on the neck, gaining skin visibility. Put the tube tip against the skin, then apply the full contents onto the skin. Maintain pressure on the tube as you lift it off of the skin, then release pressure when you've removed the tube.
