Fleas, lice-eaters and ticks are an urgent problem for every pet owner. Even if the animal does not go to the cottage and does not go out into the street, it is still not immune to parasites. The owner can bring flea eggs on clothes to the house simply by stroking a cat or dog suffering from parasites. Therefore, how to help your pet get rid of fleas, every owner should know.
"FleaNet" - what is it?
Breeding fleas today is a fairly simple matter. In a veterinary pharmacy, you can find a lot of anti-parasite products. One of the most popular drugs among pet owners is BlochNet. Reviews are quite different, but most hosts are satisfied with the result. And this is not surprising. According to them, fleas and other parasites leave the pet’s hair after the first use of the drug. Also, most owners like, judging by the reviews, in BlochNet, that the product has a wide range and low price, with a quick result. Let's figure it out together.
"BlochNet" - an assortment of parasite products
When buying parasitic drugs, it is important to consider several factors, in the first place - this is the weight of the animal. You also need to understand that the drug for cats is not suitable for the dog, and vice versa. “BlochNet” presents a whole line of preparations for domestic animals, among which there are both drops at the withers and spray.
The tool was developed by the Russian company Astrapharm. It has preparations for cats and dogs of different weight categories, which makes it possible to choose a drug for almost every animal of any age and breed, with the exception of very small puppies and kittens.
Also, the line includes advanced products - BlochNet Max drops, created on the basis of the original drug. They completely duplicate the analogue, but their composition is considered more effective and safe.
Drops for dogs. Variety of drugs
The line of drops for dogs consists of several types of drugs. Depending on the weight of the animal from 10 to 40 kg.
Judging by the reviews, BlochNet drops for dogs weighing up to 10 kilograms are ideal for miniature pets and small puppies. This drug has the same composition as larger pet products, but the bottle is smaller in volume and is 1 ml.
For pets, more drops are presented at the withers for dogs weighing from 10 to 20 kilograms. They will help get rid of parasites to medium sized pets. The product is packaged in 2 ml vials.
“Flea Net. Drops for dogs weighing from 20 to 40 kg "are designed for large pets. The drug is contained in a 4 ml container. If the animal's weight exceeds the specified, it is recommended to purchase the product additionally, based on the calculation of 1 ml per 10 kg.
Drops for cats
And that's not it. For the purr, special flea drops for cats “BlochNet” have been created. Reviews of the owners using the tool suggest that the parasites leave the animal very quickly, without harming the pet itself. Usually, a single application of drops is enough to quickly get rid of insects. However, if the pet is severely infected, retreatment may be necessary.
Many owners, in their reviews, say that fleas do not die immediately, but after some time. However, this is rather a plus, as this indicates that the drug is not harmful to the animal.
Spray
Spray "BlochNet" is designed for animals with increased sensitivity or intolerance to the substances that make up the drug. When using drops, the substances enter the animal’s blood and may cause an allergic reaction. When using a spray, this possibility is completely excluded.
Reviews on the BlochNet spray say that the drug is enough to be applied once to completely eliminate all parasites. It is also ideal for preventive treatment of a pet during and after the summer season. Since parasites can live not only on the skin of a pet, but also in its things, many owners use a spray to treat beds, bedding and other things of an animal.
Dosage and Administration
The use of drops is very simple. However, the method of application for cats and dogs is different.
For dogs, the drug is used as follows: the liquid from the vial must be applied to the skin of the animal, to the withers (just below the back of the head). After application, thoroughly rub the preparation with a finger. It is advisable to isolate the treated pet from others for several hours, as they can lick part of the drug during communication.
The tool should be used based on the calculation of 1 ml per 10 kg of weight. However, if the drug was not found in the veterinary pharmacy taking into account the weight of the animal, you can see the following recommendations in the reviews on BlochNet: for large-breed dogs, purchase the medicine additionally, based on its missing quantity. For example, if an animal weighs 30 kilograms, and only drops for dogs weighing up to 20 kg are available, you can take two packages of the product. Due to the fact that the preparation has a convenient packaging in the form of a bottle with a screw cap, if an unused residue remains after processing, it can be safely stored in the refrigerator until the next use.
When using, it is important to observe the correct dosage: 1 ml of the product per 10 kg of animal weight. Therefore, for small dogs weighing 3-4 kg, owners of miniature pets advise using drops for cats or spray in their reviews.
For cats, the product is also applied to the withers as follows: for an animal weighing up to 4 kilograms - 15 drops of the drug, that is, half a bottle. Over four kilograms - use the entire bottle of the product. For miniature cats and kittens, as well as for puppies, the dose is selected individually, based on the calculation of 1 ml (30 drops) per 10 kg of pet weight.
The spray is suitable for treating both cats and dogs with increased sensitivity to the substances in the composition. The animal is treated by spraying a spray at a distance of 20-30 cm from the body of the pet, against the growth of hair, in a well-ventilated area. The eyes and nose of a pet must be covered with hands when handling ears. On the face, the product must be gently rubbed with your fingers.
The product is sprayed at the rate of one click per 1 kg of weight. Do not let the pet lick until the drug is completely dry. It is also not recommended to bathe the animal within 48 hours after treatment.
Many owners recommend in their reviews to handle spray litter and pet things. This will avoid re-infection of the animal with parasites. Blankets, litter are sprayed at the rate of 30 clicks per 1m ₂ . Aviaries, booths, cages and animal care items are handled by 15 taps on 1m ₂ . The room must be ventilated, and all surfaces after complete drying - vacuumed.
“FleaNet” is effective not only against flea beetles and fleas. It helps to quickly get rid of mites picked up by the pet, which are very dangerous for dogs. If such parasites are found on the body of the pet, it is necessary to destroy them immediately. "FleaNet" in the reviews of the owners recommend using this: apply one drop of the drug to the site of attachment of the parasite to the skin of the animal. Within 20 minutes, the parasite should fall off by itself. If this does not happen, it must be carefully removed with tweezers and destroyed.
For dogs, ticks are the most dangerous. Therefore, if a pet is injured by a parasite bite, even after the destruction of the insect, the animal must be closely monitored. With signs of malaise, it must be urgently shown to a veterinarian.
Active substances and composition
Owners of animals in their reviews about BlochNet say that the drug has a strong effect. But many have a question. If the remedy is so powerful and quickly helps get rid of parasites, will it not harm the pet itself?
Therefore, the responsible owner will not be amiss to study the contents of the drug itself. According to the manufacturer, it includes:
- benzyl benzoate;
- diethyltoluamide;
- Yuvemon;
- fipronil.
It is important that permethrin, which can often be found in similar drugs, is absent in the composition of the drug. It is quite toxic for cats, so the manufacturer decided not to include it in the composition. However, before using the product, it is better to consult a veterinarian for allergic reactions.
How does it work?
Included in the composition of fipronil blocks the activity of the nervous system of parasites. Death occurs approximately 48 hours after the substance enters the body of the insect from overexcitation of the central nervous system. Benzyl benzoate, penetrating the parasite chitin, accumulates in its body and causes further death of the insect. Yuvemon does not allow the larvae and eggs of parasites to develop into an adult, thus interrupting their life cycle. Diethyltoluamide repels dipterans, possesses effective repellent properties.
Security
According to the manufacturer, and many reviews confirm that BlochNet (all drugs in the line) is safe and rarely causes side effects. The absence of toxic permethrin, which is rather dangerous for cats, also plays a significant role. "BlochNet", reviews of which only confirm its effectiveness and safety for pets, are not recommended for use in guinea pigs, rabbits and other decorative animals. Safe for cats and dogs, it can be toxic to other pets.
Also, the drug can not be used if the animal is sick, weakened or is in a recovery period. Pregnant and lactating females, the drug is prescribed by a veterinarian with an individual dosage. Animals with hypersensitivity are recommended to use a susceptibility test of the constituent substances before use.
