Johnson's 4fleas Spot On Large Dog

Johnson’s 4fleas Spot On Large Dog is an imidacloprid treatment for the prevention and treatment of flea infestations and the treatment of biting lice on dogs weighing 25kg and over. Fleas are killed within one day of treatment, with one correctly dosed treatment preventing further flea infestation for four weeks.

This pack contains two pipettes. The number of treatments depends on your dog’s weight: dogs weighing 25kg to under 40kg need one pipette per treatment, while dogs weighing 40kg or more need both pipettes per treatment.

• For dogs weighing 25kg and over, and over eight weeks of age.
• Treats fleas and biting lice (Trichodectes canis).
• Four weeks’ flea protection per correctly dosed treatment.
• Flea larvae in the treated pet’s surroundings are killed following contact with the treated animal.
• Two 4ml pipettes per pack.

Active ingredient and composition

Each 4ml pipette contains imidacloprid 400mg, butylhydroxytoluene (E321) 4mg and benzyl alcohol (E1519) 3328mg.

Dose and application

Weigh your dog before treatment. For dogs weighing 25kg to under 40kg, use one 4ml pipette. For dogs weighing 40kg or more, use two 4ml pipettes. Use the appropriate smaller-dog product below 25kg.

Hold the pipette upright, twist and remove the cap, then use the reversed cap to open the seal. With your dog standing, divide the entire contents of the required pipette(s) evenly between three or four separate spots along the backline, from the shoulder to the base of the tail. At each spot, part the coat and apply directly to visible, undamaged skin. Do not apply so much at one spot that the liquid runs off the dog’s side.

For biting lice, have your dog re-examined 30 days after treatment, as a second treatment may be needed. Frequent swimming or bathing may make re-treatment necessary; follow the supplied leaflet and never re-treat more frequently than once a week.

Important precautions

For external use on dogs only. Do not administer orally or use on animals with a known allergy to any ingredient. Do not treat unweaned puppies under eight weeks old. Avoid contact with the animal’s eyes and mouth, and do not let recently treated animals groom each other.

Do not stroke or groom your dog until the application sites are dry. Apply in the early evening and do not allow a recently treated dog to sleep with owners, especially children. Keep your dog out of watercourses for 48 hours after treatment. Keep treated areas away from leather, soft furnishings and plastics until completely dry.

Avoid contact with your eyes or mouth. Do not eat, drink or smoke during application. Wash hands after use and wash skin contamination with soap and water. People with known sensitivity to imidacloprid or benzyl alcohol should avoid contact. If irritation persists or the product is swallowed, seek medical attention and show the packaging.

Contact your vet if adverse reactions occur, particularly skin reactions or unusual behaviour or movement. Ask your vet about use during pregnancy or nursing, as the leaflet notes that studies in these dogs are limited.

Household flea care and storage

New fleas may continue to emerge from the environment for six weeks or longer. Vacuum resting areas regularly, wash bedding and use a suitable household flea treatment where needed. Other household pets should receive a product appropriate for their own species and weight.

Keep out of the sight and reach of children. Keep pipettes in their blister and outer carton until use, away from food, drink and animal feed. Do not use after expiry. Dispose of used pipettes promptly and follow the leaflet and local disposal requirements; do not contaminate ponds or waterways.

Always read the supplied packaging and leaflet before use.
