Shake well before use. Wet the hair coat with warm water and apply small quantities of the shampoo from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. Massage shampoo over pets body to ensure good contact with the skin. Allow to remain on hair for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and repeat. May be used initially 2 to 3 times a week for four weeks, then reduce use to once a week, or as directed by your veterinarian. Do not allow the animal to lick while bathing to prevent ingestion.
