Dogs may experience some temporary irritation at the site of product application. If signs of sensitivity occur, bathe your dog with mild soap or shampoo and rinse with large amounts of water. If signs of sensitivity occur and persist, contact a veterinarian immediately. If your dog has had an unusual reaction to the initial application, consult a veterinarian immediately before repeating application. Certain medications can interact with pesticides.
