DIRECTIONS FOR USE: It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
- Buckle collar around cat's neck. Thread flat end of the collar through buckle hole and tighten as necessary, so that at least 2 ridges are covered by the buckle. Since the plastic buckle is molded into the collar, the possibility of neck irritation and buckle failure is reduced. Fit collar snug enough to prevent placement of the cat's leg or lower jaw through the collar, yet loose enough to be rotated about the neck.
- Leave 1-2 extra inches on the length of the collar for adjustment, cut off excess, and dispose of in trash.
- Check periodically and adjust fit, if necessary, especially when kittens are rapidly growing.
- Replace in 8 months for continuous protection from adult fleas and flea egg hatch. Replace in 6 months for continuous protection from ticks. To release the collar, squeeze buckle between thumb and finger and pull sharply. Collar does not need replacement if cat becomes wet.
UNIQUE FEATURE:
This collar is designed to stretch under the weight of an averaged sized adult cat. It helps the cat to free itself ("breakaway") if the collar gets snagged on a fixed object. If the collar is fitted improperly, so that it is loose enough for a cat to work the collar over its leg or jaw, this release feature may not stretch adequately to allow the extra room necessary for the cat to free itself.
To minimize flea infestation, use appropriate products to: Treat the pet; treat the indoor environment, especially where pets spend time resting; treat the outdoor environment when necessary.
STORAGE & DISPOSAL:
Collar should be left in place once fitted on cat. If collar is temporarily removed, do not set it on wood or other surfaces.
Store in original, unopened container away from children. Do not reuse container or reuse collar. Dispose of collar in trash.
