WARNINGS: Handle with care. Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons, and animals. DO NOT USE ON KITTENS LESS THAN 10 WEEKS OF AGE. Do not use in case of known hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients. Although this remedy has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, failure thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons. If this is suspected, seek your veterinarian’s advice and notify the registration holder. Store away from food and feed.

PRECAUTIONS: While occasional contact with water does not reduce the effectiveness of the collar, frequent swimming or shampooing should be avoided. Wash hands with cold water after fitting the collar. As with any veterinary medicinal products, do not allow small children to play with the collar or reflectors, or to put them into their mouths. People with sensitivity reactions to the ingredients of the collar should avoid contact with the collar. Keep the bag with the collar in the outer packaging until use. The packaging contains small items (reflectors) which pose a choking hazard. The clips should be evenly distributed on the non-overlapping part of the collar to ensure that the collar can be re-opened and the safety opening mechanism is not blocked. The collar should be worn continuously for the 8 month protection period and should be removed after the treatment period. In the unlikely event of the animal eating the collar, mild gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. loose stool) may occur. Ensure that the collar is not fitted too tightly. Occasionally slight twitching may be observed in the first few days after fitting, in animals that are unused to wearing collars. Slight hair loss and mild skin reactions due to the mechanical irritation of the collar may occur at the application site but this usually resolves within 1 or 2 weeks without the need to remove the collar. The safety of the product has not been established during pregnancy and lactation.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Use only as directed.

• One collar of 38 cm per cat weighing up to 8 kg to be fastened around the neck.
• Ticks already on the cat prior to treatment may not be killed immediately after collar application and may remain attached and visible.
• Therefore removal of ticks already on the cat at the time of application is recommended.
• Remove the collar from the protective bag directly before use.
• Unroll the collar and make sure that there are no remnants from the plastic connectors inside the collar.
• Adjust the collar around the animal’s neck without tightening it too tight (as a guide, it should be possible to insert 2 fingers between the collar and the neck).
• Pull excess collar through the loop and cut off any excess length extending beyond 2 cm.
• After application of the collar, three reflector clips may be fixed permanently to the collar to increase the animal’s visibility in the dark.
• Remove the clips from the bag.
• The clips should be evenly distributed on the non-overlapping part of the collar.
• The clips are correctly applied when a clicking sound is heard.
• For safety reasons once the reflectors are fixed to the collar the clasp closes permanently and cannot be re-opened.
• The reflector clips contained herein are only meant to be used in combination with the specific collar and have been tested only for such use and purpose.
• The collar should be worn continuously for the 8 month protection period.
• Check periodically and adjust fit if necessary, especially when kittens are growing rapidly.
• This collar is designed with a safety-closure mechanism.
• In the unlikely event of a cat being trapped, the cat’s own strength is sufficient to widen the collar to allow for quick release.
