Drops "Bars" for cats and dogs: a description of the drug
This product is a clear, slightly oily, yellowish liquid. In veterinary pharmacies and pet stores you will be offered bottles with a capacity of 1.0 and 1.4 ml, equipped with a dropper and dropper for convenience.
Structure
The main active ingredient of the drug is pyrethroid permethrin. This component has long been used in various household chemicals. It is an effective tool that destroys various crawling insects and parasites. It is equally effective against ticks, fleas, lice, ants, whipworms, bugs, etc.
But best of all, it destroys fleas and ticks in cats and dogs. The main feature of this substance is that it is deadly dangerous for insects to humans and warm-blooded animals is not so toxic. For this reason, Bars flea drops for dogs and cats are safe.
Permethrin has a long shelf life. After processing the pet, the drug is effective for about two months and reliably destroys fleas and ticks in pets. Therefore, drops from fleas "Bars" are so effective, moreover, surprisingly easy to use.
How does the drug work?
Permethrin, which is contained in the preparations of the Bars series, is a nerve agent. Through the body of the insect, it spreads through the nerve tissue and causes impaired transmission of nerve impulses, which, in turn, causes paralysis of vital systems and death of the insect.
Side effect
As a rule, drops from fleas "Bars" (reviews of the owners confirm this) are well tolerated by animals. If they are used strictly according to the instructions, they will not cause any harm to the health of the dog or cat. The tool does not cause irritation, is not noted after its use and allergic reactions and lacrimation.
Permethrin applied to the skin does not enter the bloodstream of the animal; therefore, no poisoning of the body systems occurs. But if, due to the owner’s negligence, the drops from the Bars fleas get into the body of the animal, they can cause side effects and poisoning.
Since cats have less weight than dogs, they have side effects more often and can provoke stronger manifestations. Therefore, it is important to observe the dosage and carefully study the instructions for use. Especially cautious should use this tool when there are fleas in a kitten or puppy. Drops are not recommended to treat newborn babies. The instruction prohibits its use until your pet is 6 weeks old.
Instruction manual
Drops from fleas "Bars" (instructions are attached to each package) are applied to the skin of the animal. To do this, slightly push the hair of your pet. It is very important to observe the following rules:
- The skin of the animal must be healthy, clean and dry.
- The animal should not be able to reach the treatment site. Therefore, drops are applied to the withers. "Leopard", as already mentioned, contains harmful substances, so the drops should not be licked by the four-legged patient.
It is most reliable to apply drops between the shoulder blades, on the neck at the base of the skull. To do this, use the built-in pipette. For small animals, one dose is sufficient. Large usually cause 2-3 doses. The number of drops of the product depends on the weight of your pet and the recommendations of the instruction. A single dose of the drug is for dogs:
- 1.4 ml with an animal weight of 2 to 10 kg;
- 2.8 ml - with a weight of 10 to 20 kg;
- 5.6 ml - weight more than 20 kg.
