A dog with fleas may show an allergic reaction to the flea saliva called Flea Allergy Dermatitis
(FAD). If your dog has inflamed skin, is itchy and bites, scratches excessively and is restless
and uncomfortable, you should seek the advice of a veterinarian to diagnose if your dog
suffers from FAD.
To reduce re-infestation from emergence of new fleas, it is recommended to treat all dogs
in a household. Other animals living in the same household should also be treated with a
suitable veterinary medicinal product. Fleas from pets often infest the animal's basket,
bedding and regular resting areas such as carpets and soft furnishings which should be
treated, in case of massive infestation and at the beginning of the control measures, with a
suitable insecticide and vacuumed regularly.
There may be an attachment of single ticks or bites by single sand-flies or mosquitoes. For
this reason, the transmission of infectious diseases by these parasites cannot be excluded
if conditions are unfavourable.
Studies have shown anti-feeding effect of four weeks for sand-flies and mosquitoes.
Therefore, for short-term travel (less than 4 weeks) to endemic areas it is recommended to
apply the treatment immediately before expected exposure. For longer-term exposure (e.g.
animals living in endemic areas or travel duration longer than 4 weeks), the treatment
schedule should be based on local epidemiological information.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Animals should be weighed accurately prior to treatment.
