Vectra 3D Spot-on Solution for Dogs 25–40 kg

All dogs within the household should be treated. Cats in the household should only be
treated with a veterinary medicinal product authorised for use in that species.
Fleas can infest the dog’s basket, bedding and regular resting areas such as carpets and
soft furnishings. In case of massive flea infestation and at the beginning of the control
measures, these areas should be treated with a suitable insecticide and then vacuumed
regularly.
The veterinary medicinal product remains effective when treated animals are immersed in
water (e.g. swimming, bathing). Water immersion repeated weekly for one month and
starting 48 hours after treatment, as well as shampooing 2 weeks after treatment do not
affect the efficacy of this product. However, in case of frequent shampooing, or bathing
within 48 hours after treatment, the duration of activity may be reduced.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
This veterinary medicinal product can induce convulsions in cats that could be fatal, due to
the unique physiology of this species which is unable to metabolise certain compounds,
including permethrin. In case of accidental exposure, if undesirable effects occur, wash the
cat with shampoo or soap. To prevent cats from being accidentally exposed to the
veterinary medicinal product, keep cats away from treated dogs until the application site is
dry. It is important to ensure that cats do not groom the site of application on a dog which
has been treated with this veterinary medicinal product.
In case of suspicion of dermatitis (itch and skin irritation), seek veterinary advice.
The safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established in dogs younger
than 7 weeks or weighing less than 1.5 kg.
Care should be taken to avoid contact between the veterinary medicinal product and the
eyes of the dog. If in eyes, immediately flush with water.
The attachment of a single tick after treatment cannot be excluded. For this reason the
transmission of infectious diseases cannot be completely excluded if conditions are
favourable.

product to animals
