Vectra 3D Spot-on Solution for Dogs > 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

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.

Care should be taken to avoid contact between the veterinary medicinal product and
