How Does Stronghold Work on Dogs?

Stronghold for dogs contains selamectin. After administration, this active ingredient is distributed through the skin and absorbed into the bloodstream. It binds to the muscle and nerve cells of the parasites, leading to paralysis and death. Selamectin kills adult fleas and prevents flea eggs from hatching, thus breaking the life cycle. It is also effective against heartworm larvae, roundworms, lice and ear mites.

• Weigh your dog to administer the correct dosage.
• Stronghold should be applied topically to the dog's skin once every month.
• Remove the applicator from its protective pack.
• Hold the applicator upright and firmly depress its cap to puncture the applicator seal. Once the seal is punctured, remove the cap.
• Part your dog's hair at the base of their neck in front of the shoulder blades and expose a small area of their skin.
• Apply the applicator tip directly to the dog's skin without massaging.
• Squeeze the applicator firmly to empty the entire contents in one spot, avoiding your contact with the product.
