Vet-Kem Flea and Tick Shampoo For Dogs and Cats may be used full strength or diluted with 2 parts water. Thoroughly wet the animal with warm water. Do not apply shampoo around eyes. The total amount of shampoo to be applied is 1 1/3 tablespoons for each 5 lbs of pet’s weight. Estimate the total amount of shampoo needed for your pet, then apply shampoo along the back of the animal. Work well into the coat starting at the head and working back. Spread lather to include head, neck, legs and feet. Continue to work lather in over the whole animal for 3 to 5 minutes (this is an important part of the grooming procedure). After lather has been worked in over the entire animal, rinse thoroughly with warm water. For extremely dirty or scaly animals, the above procedure may be repeated. Repeat every 7 to 10 days, if necessary, for adult flea relief. Flea egg hatch inhibition will last for 28 days.
