If it’s your first time using a flea and tick ointment on your Akita, you may want to ask your vet or pet store associate for a few tips on the best way to apply it. Applying a spot on flea and tick treatment can be difficult. In general, you should open the little tube of solution and then place the tip of the applicator underneath your Akita’s fur on his back right between his shoulders. Gently squeeze the tube and apply it down your Akita’s back as he cannot reach his back to lick it. Do not rub the solution in; instead, allow it to soak in. Make sure you squeeze all the contents from the tube. Once finished, praise your Akita and reward him with a treat. It is recommended to apply flea and tick topical treatments every month.
