Effipro antiparasitic pipettes for dogs weighing between 10 and 20 kg Effipro antiparasitic pipettes are a great help in the care of medium-sized dogs weighing between 10 and 20 kg, as they are essential for the control and prevention of fleas (Ctenocephalides spp.) and ticks (Rhipycephalus sanguineus, Ixodes ricinus, and Dermacentor reticulatus). This medication is for external use in dogs and is one of the most convenient and easy to use, thanks to its spot-on system. Eliminating parasites also improves your pets overall well-being by eliminating the discomfort caused by these insects, such as itching. Furthermore, it provides crucial prevention for your dog, as it prevents the onset of diseases transmitted by these parasites. This product from Virbac Laboratories keeps your dog free of adult fleas for eight weeks and protects against ticks for four weeks. If your pet was already infested with parasites, they will die between 48 hours and one week after applying the treatment, as a result of fipronils action on the central nervous system. ADVANTAGES Antiparasitic treatment for medium-sized dogs weighing between 10 and 20 kg. Completely eliminates fleas and ticks. Provides effective protection for eight weeks against fleas and four weeks against ticks. Parasites die between 48 hours and one week after the first application. USAGE AND SPECIFICATIONS Topical external antiparasitic that effectively combats the presence of fleas and ticks, specifically indicated for dogs weighing 10 to 20 kg. Instructions for use Part your pets fur along the top of their back to expose the skin. Apply the tip of the pipette directly to the skin, emptying the contents completely by gently shaking the pipette. Make sure to apply the product to an area where your pet cannot lick it or where other animals cannot lick each other. Avoid getting the product too wet on your pets coat; it may make it sticky. However, if this happens, it will disappear within 24 hours. Do not apply this product to lesions or wounds. Bathing your pet with shampoo one hour before treatment does not affect the products effectiveness. However, bathing or immersion in water should be avoided for two days after application. Weekly immersion in water for one minute reduces the duration of insecticidal effectiveness against fleas by one week. The product does not prevent ticks from attaching to your pet. If you have previously treated your pet for tick exposure, the ticks will die within 24-48 hours of attaching. Once dead, ticks usually fall off the animal, but any remaining ticks can be removed. Fleas on pets typically infest their baskets, bedding, and sleeping areas such as carpets and mattresses. These can be treated using a suitable insecticide and by vacuuming regularly.
