Johnsons 4fleas Spot-On Medium Dogs

Johnson’s 4fleas Spot-On for Medium Dogs treats and prevents flea infestations and treats biting lice (Trichodectes canis) in dogs weighing 10kg to less than 25kg. Fleas are killed within one day of treatment, and each application prevents further flea infestation for four weeks.

• Two pipettes provide two treatments, using one whole pipette per application.
• Each 2.5ml pipette contains imidacloprid 250mg, butylhydroxytoluene 2.5mg and benzyl alcohol 2080mg.
• For dogs over eight weeks old weighing at least 10kg but less than 25kg.
• Also treats biting lice. Re-examine the dog 30 days after treatment, as a further treatment may be needed.

How to apply

For external use only, on undamaged skin. Weigh your dog before choosing the treatment. Dogs below 10kg or weighing 25kg or more require the appropriate alternative strength.

Remove one pipette. Hold upright, twist and pull off the cap, then use the reversed cap to twist and remove the seal. With your dog standing, part the coat between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the pipette tip directly on the skin and squeeze firmly several times to empty the entire contents onto the skin. Avoid excessive solution at any one spot that could run down the dog’s side. Follow the supplied leaflet carefully.

Avoid the eyes and mouth, and prevent licking or recently treated animals grooming one another. Do not use simultaneously with other flea products applied directly to the animal.

Ongoing flea control

New fleas can continue to emerge from the home environment for six weeks or longer after treatment starts. Wash bedding, vacuum resting areas and use suitable environmental treatments as directed. Other pets need products appropriate to their species and weight, not this dog-specific pipette.

The product remains effective if the dog becomes wet, although frequent bathing or swimming may make re-treatment necessary. Never re-treat more frequently than once weekly. Keep treated dogs out of watercourses for 48 hours after application because imidacloprid is toxic to aquatic organisms.

Flea larvae in the surroundings can be killed after contact with a treated animal. This does not mean the product directly treats all eggs or guarantees an infestation-free home.

Precautions and handling

Do not use in animals with a known allergy to any ingredient or in unweaned puppies younger than eight weeks. Consult your vet before use during pregnancy or nursing. Contact your vet if adverse effects occur. Reported reactions include skin irritation, hair loss, agitation, disorientation and nervous signs. Licking the bitter solution may cause brief salivation.

Avoid skin, eye and mouth contact. Do not eat, drink or smoke during application. Wash hands thoroughly afterwards and wash skin contamination with soap and water. Rinse accidental eye contact thoroughly with clean water. Seek medical advice for persistent irritation or accidental swallowing, showing the packaging or leaflet.

Do not stroke or groom your dog until the application site is dry. Apply in the early evening, and do not let recently treated pets sleep with owners, especially children. Keep treated pets away from leather, plastics and soft furnishings until dry.

Keep out of the sight and reach of children. Keep pipettes in their original packaging until use, retain the blister in the outer carton, and store away from food, drink and animal feed. Dispose of used pipettes immediately and follow local disposal requirements. Do not contaminate ponds or waterways. Always read the supplied packaging and leaflet before use.
