Look at the Label Campaign - Sergeant's Pet Products

Flea and tick control products can go a long way toward making your pet comfortable. But too many consumers may not know how to use them properly, which can put their dog or cat's life in danger. As a leading provider of over-the-counter flea and tick control products for dogs and cats, Sergeant's is reaching out to the millions of pet owners about the need to follow specific label instructions for these products by launching a national consumer educational campaign called "Look at the Label."

READING LABEL TIPS
Sergeant's Gold Flea & Tick Squeeze-On for Dogs is safe and effective when used as directed.

Sergeant's Gold Flea & Tick Squeeze-On for Dogs is a breakthrough product that kills fleas in as little as one hour and ticks in as little as three - faster than the leading veterinary brand. But, as with any chemical or medical product, before applying Sergeant's Gold Flea & Tick Squeeze-On for Dogs, you must first Look at the Label to make sure the particular product you're using is right for your dog.

Sergeant's recommends pet owners look for the following information on product labels:

Look for the dosage amount for the size and age of your pet. Products are specially formulated for pets based on weight. This information is nearly always on the front of the product package, making it easy reference for consumers as they shop.

All flea and tick product labels indicate for which species the product is intended. Never use a flea and tick control product intended for dogs on a cat, and vice versa.

Check the back label for active ingredients and warnings. By knowing the active ingredient, you can compare effectiveness and safety.
Look for the manufacturer's contact information should you have questions or need help. Typically this information can be found at the bottom of the back label.
And, as with medications for humans, carefully read and follow all label instructions.

There are many brands of spot-on products for flea and tick control that are labeled for "use on dogs only." While many products may have a good safety record when used on dogs, studies indicate that even small amounts of certain ingredients contained in dog products could be dangerous to a cat.
