Correct application will minimise the opportunity for the animal to lick off the product.
Apply only to undamaged skin. Do not allow recently treated animals to groom each other.
Care should be taken to avoid the contents of the tube coming into contact with the eyes or mouth of the recipient animal.
Do not allow recently treated animals to groom each other.

The solvent in Bob Martin Double Action Spot-On may mark certain materials including leather, fabrics, plastics and finished surfaces. Allow application site to dry before permitting contact with such materials. The product is bitter tasting and salivation may occasionally occur if the animal licks the application site immediately after treatment. This is not a sign of intoxication and disappears within a few minutes without treatment (see also section 4.9 Amount(s) to be administered and administration route).
In very rare occasions skin reactions such as hair loss, redness, itching and skin lesions may occur. Agitation and, in dogs, disorientation have also been reported. Excessive salivation and nervous signs such as incoordination, tremors and depression have been reported exceptionally.
No primary embryotoxic, teratogenic or reproductive toxic effects have been observed during the studies on rats and rabbits. Studies on pregnant and lactating bitches and queens together with their offspring are limited. Evidence so far suggests that no adverse effects are to be expected in these animals.
Consult your veterinary surgeon before using in pregnant or nursing animals.
Re-infestation from emergence of new fleas in the environment may continue to occur for six weeks or longer after treatment is initiated. More than one treatment may therefore be required, depending on the level of fleas in the environment.
The product remains effective if the animal becomes wet, for example after exposure to heavy rain or after swimming (dogs). However, re-treatment may become necessary, depending on the presence of fleas in the environment. In these cases do not treat more frequently than once weekly.
