There are many protective products available now, so it is important to choose the right one for your pet based on its weight and age. Follow the instructions for use (sometimes, humans may experience an allergic reaction from direct contact with the products). You should treat not only the fur but also collars and areas where the animals sleep.
Insectoacaricidal medication
Spot-on drops: These should be applied to dry skin, located between the shoulder blades and along the animal’s spine. This medication provides protection against parasites for 4-6 weeks. The medicine must fully dry on the animal’s body, and bathing is prohibited for two days after application. Some dogs and cats are very sensitive to it: they may experience excessive tearing, drooling, which can be accompanied by vomiting, and skin irritation such as redness. In these cases, the product should be washed off completely, and another solution should be sought.
The most popular insectoacaricidal medications include: Frontline, Advantix, Hartz, ProMeris (imported), and Mr. Bruno, BlokhNet, Dana, Bars, Chistotel, and Delix (domestic).
Insectoacaricidal spray
The difference with this product is that it is packaged in sealed bottles with spray nozzles. It can be sprayed along the entire length of the animal’s fur to ensure it is thoroughly soaked in the medication, after which the fur is combed. The product should be applied to the animal’s face with a rubber glove and gently rubbed in.
Spray is more effective for dogs with thick coats, as every area of the animal’s skin and fur is treated. Only spray can be used at a young age when other products (shampoos, drops) are not yet suitable. The animal’s bed and sleeping area should also be sprayed.
Well-known brands producing high-quality products: Frontline, Hartz, Mr. Bruno, Bolfo, Bars, and Delix.
Insectoacaricidal collars
The collar is impregnated with a medication for ectoparasites, and it can provide protection for a long time. The fur and skin of your pet will be treated by the fifth day after the collar is worn. After that, you can forget about parasites for up to five months. However, it should not be used on sick or weakened animals. The most well-known collars are produced by companies such as Beaphar, CEVA, and Delix.
The Mr. Bruno company specializes in producing repellent collars that repel insects but do not kill them. This type of collar is suitable for lactating, pregnant, and weakened animals, as it is completely safe.
Insectoacaricidal shampoos and solutions
Fleas, lice, and ticks can be killed with insectoacaricidal shampoos from brands such as BioVaks, Delix, Chistotel, and others. However, this protection is temporary, and it will not protect the animal from new parasites. Solutions for ectoparasites also offer short-term protection. The ampoule is diluted in water, and the animal is washed completely. Contact us, and we will help you select the right product for your pet.
