How to use:
Avoid contact of the product with the animals’ eyes.
It is important to apply the product in a sheltered place where the animal cannot lick itself and it is necessary to avoid animals licking each other. It is possible that not all ticks will be eliminated. Thus, it is impossible to completely exclude infection with tick-borne diseases, under adverse conditions.
Ticks will die on the host between 24 and 48 hours after infestation without feeding on the animal’s blood.
Fleas on domestic animals frequently invade their bedding, where the animals sleep and rest, places that should be regularly treated with appropriate insecticides and cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, in case of massive infestations or when applying prevention measures. The product
Fypryst spot-on solution can be applied to breeding and pregnant bitches, as well as to lactating bitches.
Dogs: Ticks should be removed from animals before using the product to reduce the risk of transmissible diseases. Data on the efficacy of the product after bathing animals are insufficient, therefore bathing is not recommended for 2 days after application of the product and more than one bathing per week is not recommended.
Emollient shampoos can be used before treatment but, if used weekly after application of the product, reduce the duration of flea protection to 5 weeks. Weekly bathing with a 2% chlorhexidine shampoo does not affect the efficacy of the product against fleas, as shown in studies conducted over a 6-week period. After application of the product, do not allow dogs to swim in running water for 2 days after administration of the product.
Cats: There are insufficient data to support the efficacy of the product after bathing/shampooing in cats. However, based on the information on the efficacy of the product in dogs shampooed two days after application of the product, bathing cats is not recommended for two days after application of the product.
