DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

READ ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE EACH USE. USE ONLY ON DOGS 12 WEEKS AND OLDER

Do not open until ready to use.  Dust forms on collar during storage. Do not get dust in mouth or eyes. Wipe collar with a damp paper towel or disposable cloth prior to applying. Place collar around dog’s neck, adjust for fit, and buckle in place. The collar must be worn loosely to allow for growth of the dog and to permit the collar to move about the neck. Generally, a properly fitted collar is one that when fastened, will snugly slide over dog’s head. Leave 2 or 3 inches for extra adjustment. Cut off and dispose of excess length.  Wash hands after placing collar on dog. Replace collar every 6 months or sooner if needed.

• DOES THIS COLLAR COMPARE TO SCALIBOR® PROTECTOR BAND FOR DOGS FROM MERCK?

  Tevrapet Proact Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs contain the same active ingredient as Scalibor® Protector Band for Dogs and provides the same level of protection as the name brand product.

• HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO REPLACE THE COLLAR?

  The collar should be replaced every 6 months or sooner if needed.

• IS TEVRAPET PROACT FLEA & TICK COLLAR FOR DOGS WATERPROOF? DOES THAT MEAN MY DOG CAN SWIM AFTER WITH THE COLLAR ON? OR CAN I BATHE MY DOG AFTER APPLICATION?

  The collar is waterproof-it can be worn when swimming, there is no need to remove it before your dog swims or walks in the rain or when giving a bath. It remains effective, wet or dry. If your dog went swimming or was very wet the natural oils on the skin may have been removed, and the effectiveness of the collar may be reduced temporarily. But as soon as the dog has dried, the collar will start re-delivering the active ingredient to the natural oils of the skin. (SEE ALSO Q8)

• CAN I APPLY TEVRAPET PROACT FLEA & TICK COLLAR FOR DOGS TO MY CAT?

  No, never apply a dog product on a cat it is always recommended to apply the proper product for your pet.

• IS IT OK TO USE A FLEA AND TICK SHAMPOO OR APPLY A TOPICAL SPOT-ON AT THE SAME TIME AS USING THE COLLAR?

  It is not recommended to use multiple flea and tick treatments on your pet at the same time. We recommend either waiting the recommended time that the shampoo or topical is active or removing the pesticide from your pet with a degreasing dish soap such as dawn, and waiting a couple of days to allow the oils on the pet’s skin to replenish prior to applying the collar.

• AFTER I APPLIED THE TEVRAPET PROACT FLEA & TICK COLLAR FOR DOGS MY DOG HAS RED IRRITATED SKIN WHERE THE COLLAR WAS APPLIED, SHOULD I TAKE MY DOG TO THE VETERINARIAN?

  Your pet may be sensitive to the active ingredient in the collar. We would recommend immediately removing the collar and bathing with a degreasing dish soap such as Dawn and rinse with cool water. If it doesn’t get better or continues to get worse contact your veterinarian or call 1-800-951-4216 for more information.

• HOW DOES THE TEVRAPET PROACT FLEA & TICK COLLAR FOR DOGS WORK?

  The collar works through friction, slowly releasing the active ingredient deltamethrin, which spreads across your dog’s skin to kill fleas and tick for 6 months.

• I APPLIED THE TEVRAPET PROACT FLEA & TICK COLLAR FOR DOGS TO MY DOG AND I’M STILL SEEING FLEA/TICKS ON MY DOG?

  Your dog must wear the Tevrapet Proact Flea & Tick collar for 1 to 2 weeks before protective levels are established over the entire body, and maximum effectiveness may not occur for this period. It is best to apply the collar at least 7 to 14 days before you anticipate flea/tick exposure.

• HOW OLD DOES MY DOG NEED TO BE TO USE TEVRAPET PROACT FLEA & TICK COLLAR FOR DOGS?

  Your dog should be at least 12 weeks old.

• DOES MY DOG NEED TO BE A CERTAIN WEIGHT TO APPLY THE TEVRAPET PROACT FLEA & TICK COLLAR FOR DOGS?

  The collar is fully adjustable-One size fits all. The Flexible collar is large enough to fit even the biggest dogs and is easily cut to fit small dogs too.

• I BATHE MY DOG WEEKLY IS THIS GOING TO REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COLLAR?

  If you bathe your dog with a degreasing shampoo, or a shampoo designed for treating certain skin conditions, the natural oils from the skin will be removed, and the effectiveness of the collar may be reduced temporarily. But as soon as the bath is over the collar will start re-delivering the active ingredient to the natural oils of the skin.
