Application recommendations
Broadline is a cat-only product and should be applied externally as a top-spot. It should be applied in one spot on the skin of the cat. The exact position is on the back of the neck, between the shoulder blades of cats after parting the hair. Care should be taken not to allow contact with the human skin and it is recommended to wash hands after use. For more information, refer to the directions supplied with the packaging.

From an application frequency point of view, Broadline should be applied responsibly. Although it is safe to use up to once a month, the application frequency should be based on the presence, or risk, of both internal and external parasites. Application frequency should be in accordance with the recommendations of your family veterinarian.
