Usage

Designed for everyday use, the ointment is ideal for both preventive and therapeutic applications. Apply a thin layer directly to the animal’s skin around the ears, muzzle, legs, and any area prone to fly activity. For horses, focus on the lower legs, belly, and around the eyes where face flies often congregate. For dogs, target the neck, back, and any existing cuts or abrasions. The ointment can be used in a variety of environments, including indoor stalls, outdoor pastures, riding arenas, and during transport in trailers or trucks. Its fast‑acting nature means flies are repelled within minutes, reducing the risk of irritation, disease transmission, and stress for the animal. Hand washing after each application is recommended to maintain personal hygiene. The product is suitable for year‑round use, offering protection during peak fly seasons as well as in milder climates where flies may still be present.
