How To Use Petcor Flea Spray |
Gearing Up for Fleapocalypse: What You'll Need
- Petcor Flea Spray: This is your secret weapon, your flea-fighting friend. Make sure you grab the right formula for your pet (cats have different sensitivities than dogs, you know).
- Rubber gloves: Because, ew, fleas. Also, some flea spray formulas can irritate human skin.
- An old towel (optional): Great for applying the spray to wiggly or sensitive areas like the face.
- A well-ventilated area: Fleas may be small, but the fumes from some sprays can be a bit much. Open some windows and get some fresh air flowing.
- A bribe for your pet (highly recommended): Distraction is key! Stock up on treats, a favorite toy, or maybe even a promise of belly rubs galore.
The All-Important Application Process: From Fleapit to Freedom!
- Prep Your Pet: Brush your furry friend to remove any loose fur or debris that might block the spray from reaching those pesky fleas.
- Become the Spray Master: Shake that Petcor bottle like a pro and hold your pet securely (easier said than done, we know).
- Target Practice: Important! Read the instructions on the label carefully for the recommended dosage based on your pet's weight. Generally, you'll want to spray with a light, even coverage, focusing on the head, ears, legs, and base of the tail.Pro Tip: For long-haired pets, brush the fur against the grain as you spray to ensure the product reaches the skin.
- Those Hard-to-Reach Spots: For sensitive areas like the face and ears, apply the spray to a towel and gently wipe.
- The Great Wait: Don't let your pet lick the spray! Distract them with that bribe you so cleverly acquired (step 4) and let the Petcor work its magic.
Remember: Petcor typically kills adult fleas within a day, but it might take a few days for younger fleas (eggs and larvae) to kick the bucket. Be patient, grasshopper!
