Vetflea 50 mg Spot-on Solution for Cats

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.
The product does not prevent ticks from attaching to the animals. If the animal has
been treated prior to exposure to the ticks, the ticks will be killed in the first 24-48
hours after attachment. This will usually be prior to engorgement, minimising but not
excluding the risk of transmission of diseases. Once dead, ticks will often drop off
the animal, but any remaining ticks may be removed with a gentle pull.
No data on the effect of bathing/shampooing on the efficacy of the product in cats are
available. However, based on information available for dogs, shampooing an hour
prior to treatment does not affect the efficacy of the product against fleas.
When used as part of a strategy for the treatment of Flea Allergy Dermatitis, monthly
applications to the allergic patient and to other cats in the household are
recommended.
For optimum control of flea problems in a multi-pet household, all dogs and cats in
the household should be treated with a suitable insecticide.
