"Let's talk about how to actually use Frontline Plus. The first thing to think about is whether or not your pet has been bathed or not. You have to wait forty eight hours before or after a bath. They cannot be wet. Frontline Plus works by getting into the oil glands and then spreading over the body during natural processes called translocation. So, it takes twenty four hours for that product to cover the whole body, and so they have to be dry. The second thing you want to do is remove the collar. This product is a great product! It will however, wick into collars and so that's the first thing to do, is remove it. Now, you take your applicator, and what you'll want to do is to trim off the top of the applicator so you can open the packaging. Sometimes it's not easy. Remove the back part of the packaging. So now, remove the applicator and face it away from you. There you go. O.k, now, now what you want to do, there's a little opening tab, a little separation right here. You want to clip that away from you and you always apply Frontline Plus between the shoulder blades, right in between, and you want to do that on the skin itself. You don't want to actually just put it on top of the hair because it does not do, or get into the oil glands like it's supposed to. So, you find in between the shoulder blades, which are right here, you pull the hair away from the skin, and then apply the product all in that one area. Making a small circular motion sometimes helps distribute that between the hair and in the skin. So, then when you're finished, just throw away the applicator. Your pet should have an oily spot between the shoulder blades for at least twenty four hours, and so it's going to look like that until it dries and actually starts working."
