Before using the drug, the instructions must be carefully studied.
It’s a good idea to read people’s reviews on the Internet. But the most important point is to visit a veterinarian, who will examine the pet and give instructions regarding the choice of drug. The bulk of flea drugs consists of finiprole or organophosphorus compounds. There are also products made from a complex of various substances.
It is very easy to apply the drops, the main thing is that the cat does not lick them off. Another advantage is that they do not need to be washed off. Some act for a long time, while others, on the contrary, evaporate faster. However, the drugs act instantly, and within a few minutes the fleas begin to die. Some products can kill larvae and their eggs, while others prevent them from reproducing.

What happens if a cat licks flea drops? One of the disadvantages of flea drops is their danger to the animal’s body. Each product has its own contraindications, which are recommended to be taken into account by reading the instructions carefully. It is best to drip only in those places where the kitten cannot reach. The substances that make up the drug are toxic and, if used carelessly, can cause allergies or other adverse effects.
After treating an animal with any flea remedy, you need to monitor it for some time. If you feel unwell, refuse to eat or have allergies, you should immediately contact your veterinarian.
I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with my cat; she was scratching herself and biting herself. I felt incredibly sorry for her, and I went to the veterinarian, since I myself did not understand and could not examine the animal. During the examination, the doctor discovered a huge number of fleas and recommended the drug Frontline. I immediately bought them, read the instructions and treated my Muska. A miracle happened, in a couple of hours my cat became so lively, began to eat well and rage a lot. The product is simply super! Marina, Muska's owner
Features of use
It is better to treat your cat against fleas with drops in a place where she cannot reach and lick. It is there that the animal will not be able to lick the drug. You need to apply it to the skin, moving the fur away. After the product is applied, you need to check with your fingers whether it has dried.
Attention: in no case should you apply the drug to the fur, the area near the nose, mouth and other places where the kitten can reach.
Another feature is that the drops are selected depending on the weight of the kitten. It is better to treat fleas in the evening to avoid exposure to sunlight. After the procedure, it is advisable that the animal does not walk for two days.
Some products are applied along the spine, thus improving their effect.
Benefits of using drops
The most convenient and safe drugs against ectoparasites include flea drops. There are a number of advantages of using drops.
- Safety.
The drug is applied to places that are difficult to lick. This is safer than using special shampoos and sprays. Drops, unlike insecticidal collars, do not roll up or wear out the fur of long-haired cats. - Ease of use.
Most of the drops on the market are sold in special pipettes. They are convenient to apply to the animal’s skin without causing any discomfort. Medicines can be dosed using the correct number of pipettes depending on the cat's weight. - Long lasting effect.
Preventive protection against re-infection with parasites can last from one to two months.
Pet safety
If your cat has licked off the flea drops, there is no need to worry too much. It is necessary to monitor her for side effects. It’s another matter if a cat licked a kitten, then the concentration of the substance is much greater. In this case, poisoning may occur.
If one kitten licks the drug from another kitten, the consequences will be much worse than in an adult cat. A small, fragile organism cannot react so intensely to the concentration of the active substance. As a result, serious health problems may occur.
In the cases described above, it is best to use the safest drug - Beaphar. Which is suitable for cats and kittens, and no matter where the drops are placed, it does not cause poisoning if ingested.
How to choose flea drops for a cat
The most important criterion for most buyers is price. But when buying, it is necessary to take into account other features: the age of the animal, state of health, place where he lives.
There are specific medications for kittens; they are also suitable for pregnant and lactating cats who are constantly with their kittens. If your pet is constantly outdoors, you will need a powerful drug that will destroy all parasites and provide long-term protection.
I have extensive experience in caring for cats. And it won’t be difficult to understand that an animal has fleas. The only controversial issue remained remedies for parasites. A friend advised me to try Bars, which, in her opinion, is the best remedy for fleas. I immediately bought it at a veterinary pharmacy and treated my pet. The result did not take long to arrive; after an hour the fleas began to die, and by tomorrow they had completely disappeared. Margarita, owner of Monnik
Flea drops for cats and dogs: description, composition, pros and cons
Flea drops are concentrated, fast-acting insecticides with minimal toxicity to the animal. They penetrate under the skin, where they accumulate in the sebaceous glands. When an insect bites a dog or cat, it comes into contact with these substances. And they affect the nervous system of fleas - causing paralysis of the body and death. Some simply scare away parasites from the animal with an unpleasant odor.
Table: characteristics of the active components of drip medications for fleas
Substance name | Description |
Invermectin |
|
Permethrin | Insecticide safe for animals and humans. |
Pyriproxyfen |
|
Fipronil |
|
Selamectin |
|
Moxidetin |

Advantages
The popularity of this particular dosage form of anti-flea drugs is due to the following advantages:
- ease of application,
- the versatility of most products - they affect not only fleas, but also protect the animal from ticks and lice, infection by helminths,
- duration of action - for each drug it is indicated in the instructions; usually re-application is required after 2-6 months.
Flaws
Drops also have disadvantages:
- most of them are not suitable for puppies and kittens under 2-3 months of age,
- during pregnancy, they are prescribed only after consulting a veterinarian, and are contraindicated for nursing cats and dogs due to the high likelihood of licking (the mother and her babies spend a lot of time together, often lick each other),
- high probability of allergic reactions to toxic substances.
If the animal is not allergic to the active components of the drops and the dosage specified in the instructions is followed, poisoning is excluded.
Effect of flea remedy
By their nature, drops are a solution that destroys parasites and provides protection for a certain period of time. Active ingredients may be:
- Permethrin does not enter the animal's bloodstream and breaks down quickly if the cat licks it.
- Fipronil is considered the safest substance.
- Pyriproxyfen is an excellent ingredient that is being used recently.
- Ivermectin is a universal remedy against a large number of parasites.
How flea drops work depends on the active ingredients they contain. Some drugs can provide long-lasting, immediate protection, while others will take time to work.
Some of the products have a double effect: destroying parasites and repelling them with their smell. The active substance begins to penetrate the pet’s skin and is gradually released. Upon contact with fleas, the droplets penetrate their body, paralyze and kill them.
It is difficult to answer the question which drops are better. Everyone chooses their own option. Some animals have individual intolerance to the active component, and some have a negative reaction to the drug. By trial and error, you can choose exactly the product that will be used in pest control.
How do flea and tick drops for cats work and how effective are they?
Cats are affected by several types of external parasites. The most common of them are fleas. Fleas make our pets nervous and restless. They undermine the health of the animal, weaken its immunity, cause anemia and dermatitis.
Fleas are carriers of dangerous infectious and parasitic diseases. In addition, these parasites often jump from animals to humans and bite painfully.
If you find fleas on a cat, they must be removed immediately. Special drops on the withers will help you do this. We will tell you in detail about the mechanism of action of antiparasitic drugs and the features of their use.
Preparations in the form of drops on the withers are convenient and effective. Drops are applied to the animal's skin in a place inaccessible to it. Such preparations are a solution of insecticides that are low toxic to cats and harmful to fleas.
- Bloch;
- lice;
- Vlasoedov;
- Ixodid and sarcoptoid ticks;
- Has a repellent effect against blood-sucking mosquitoes.
BlochNet max can be used on cats of all breeds. Kittens can use the drug from the age of three months. After application to the skin, the drug is evenly distributed over the surface of the animal’s body within 24-48 hours.
The accumulation of the drug occurs in:
- Skin fatty lubricant;
- Ducts of the sebaceous glands;
- Epidermis;
- Hair follicles.
All parasites will be destroyed within 1-2 days after application of the product.
The drug contains modern active ingredients in an original combination. This ensures high efficiency of BlochNet max.
- Fipronil - Has a detrimental effect on ixodid and sarcoptic ticks, fleas, lice, lice.
- Benzyl benzoate - Penetrates ticks and kills them.
- Diethyltoluamide - Repels mosquitoes from animals.
- Juvemon - Causes abnormalities in the development of parasites at the larval stage and prevents re-infection of the pet.
BlochNet max can be used on cats of all breeds. Kittens can use the drug from the age of three months.
Application rules
BlochNet max drops are used for cats that already have external parasites, as well as to prevent their attacks on the pet. Apply the drops once to the cat’s dry, intact skin in the neck area at the base of the skull (at the withers) in the following doses:
- Up to 5 kg - 0.5 ml (15 drops)
- More than 5 kg - 1 ml
- 10 kg – 20 kg – 2 ml
You should not wash or bathe the animal 48 hours before and after treatment with drops, so as not to reduce the effectiveness of their action.
The death of parasites after applying the drug to the skin of an animal is observed within 24-48 hours after treatment. After this time, your pet is free from fleas and is reliably protected.
Many cat owners are interested in the question of how often it is necessary to treat their cat for fleas.
To prevent a cat from becoming infected with fleas, treating your pet with BlochNet max should be carried out regularly once every two months.
Ectoparasites (fleas, lice eaters, ixodid ticks, etc.) are frequent uninvited guests in pets. To combat blood-sucking insects, pet supply manufacturers offer a variety of insecticidal products.
Flea and tick drops for cats have gained well-deserved popularity among owners. Ease of use, effectiveness and duration of action, versatility of products in liquid form allows them to be widely used as a complex antiparasitic agent.
Operating principle
Many of the listed poisons are not only destructive to ectoparasites, but also have an unpleasant odor and act as repellents. Drops, as a rule, are a universal antiparasitic agent with a repellent effect.
The main principle of how flea drops for cats work is as follows:
- when treating the skin of an animal, the sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and upper layers of the epidermis are saturated with insecticide;
- These substances have a contact neurotoxic effect on parasites, blocking nerve impulses, leading to paralysis and death.
As a rule, manufacturers use several insecticides belonging to different groups.
The duration of the antiparasitic effect is due to the creation of an insecticide depot in the sebaceous glands.
How long anti-flea drops for cats last depends largely on the composition of the drug. Mild drops “Stronghold” and “Frontline Spot On” protect your pet from fleas and ticks for 21 - 30 days.
Drops such as “Clandestine”, which contain fipronil and permethrin, last longer - up to 2 months, which is due to a pronounced insecticidal effect.
Rules of application
Having made the choice to use a drop form of insecticide to combat and prevent ectoparasites, the owner does not always have an idea where to place the flea drops on the cat. Manufacturers of antiparasitic drugs and veterinary specialists strongly recommend applying the drug to the animal’s withers.
This place is inaccessible for licking, and the risk of insecticide entering the pet’s body will be minimized. It is also important to understand that the drug is applied not to the animal’s fur, but to the skin.
Why fleas and ticks are dangerous for dogs
Ectoparasites are insects that settle on the surfaces of the skin or fur. They feed on blood, lymph, skin or hair scales.
Dogs are parasitized by canine fleas. These are small arthropod insects without wings. They maintain life by consuming blood through their bites. Dog fleas are shiny, brown in color, with an elongated body, no more than 3 mm in length. They reproduce by laying larvae on the hair.
With ticks the situation is more complicated. Dogs are parasitized by three types of these arthropods: large (ixodidae), scabies and subcutaneous. The first ones simply bite to suck blood. Scabies and subcutaneous mites cause diseases such as otodecosis and demodicosis.
Now the main question remains: why are fleas and ticks dangerous for dogs? Negative effects of ectoparasites:
Animal anxiety. Fleas bite, so their appearance leads to specific symptoms: sudden jumping up, constant scratching, irritability. This also becomes a problem for owners. When infected with ticks, these symptoms are smoothed out. However, the dog also feels discomfort.
Inflammatory processes on the skin. If a dog has fleas in large quantities, then bites all over the body will lead to the development of inflammation accompanied by bacterial microflora. If the parasites are not eliminated in time, the process will develop into a severe form - pyoderma. Mites are less aggressive, but also cause changes to the skin. If a dog is bitten by a large tick, then when it is removed, the head often remains. This leads to the appearance of an abscess.
Carriers of invasive diseases. The bite of ixodid ticks is dangerous due to the transmission of piroplasmosis through the saliva of the arthropod. The protozoa - Babesia - actively colonize red blood cells when they enter the body. Symptoms: fever, anemia, increased breathing, lethargy, apathy. Fleas carry invasive cucumber tapeworm larvae. This tapeworm lives in the dog's intestines, causing digestive disorders, obstruction, and general weakness.
Transmission of pathogens of viral and bacterial diseases. The most dangerous disease is plague. It is caused by a virus. The disease will develop if a pet eats a flea that has fed on the infected blood of a rodent. Symptoms: fever, inflammation of the mucous membranes, lymph nodes, lethargy. Other diseases carried by parasites: Q fever, brucellosis, salmonellosis, tularemia.
Why don't flea and tick drops work?
First we need to decide what kind of effect we expect from applying the drug. The most common complaint is that after applying the product, owners find fleas or ticks on the animal.
The fact is that not all spot preparations have a repellent effect (repels parasites).
In most cases, a flea or tick dies upon contact with treated skin within 1-6 hours; particularly resistant individuals can remain active for up to 24 hours, i.e. you can see the parasite moving around.
The repellent (scaring) effect is characteristic of Advantix due to the content of permethrin. Ticks avoid contact with permethrin. The repellent effect is accompanied by an acaricidal (repellent) effect, which manifests itself even with short contact of ticks with the skin of a dog treated with an acaricide.
In this case, the tick can remain attached to the skin thanks to a cementing substance, which is secreted by the salivary glands of the tick and fixes the hypostome at the site of the bite. Regardless of the type of active substance, ticks detach from the dog 2-3 days after death, when the hypostome is removed from the skin.
However, these mites die within 1-2 days after contact with treated skin; this effect is shortened by the “burnt legs” effect.
The evolution of ticks leads to the fact that over time they adapt to the current acaricide, so there is always a danger that sooner or later even the most reliable drops will no longer protect your animal.
In this regard, leading manufacturing companies are constantly updating the formula of the drug and releasing new product lines (Frontline Combo, Hartz Ultra Guard). In addition, there is a constant migration of new species of mites that are resistant to existing drugs.
In addition, it is important to remember, especially when first treating infested animals, that the adult fleas on the animal make up no more than 5% of the entire population of fleas present in the environment at various stages of the life cycle.
This means that it takes time to destroy the entire population of fleas, i.e., before they die, they must visit the surface of the animal's body.
While we have begun to kill the adults, there are many larvae in the environment waiting to mature and land on the dog. Therefore, there is a high probability that some adults may be seen on the dog, especially in the first months.
The effectiveness of anti-parasitic collars may be reduced in dogs with thick, long hair, and it may take longer to reach an effective concentration. During bathing, the collar stops releasing the active substance until it dries, so it is recommended to remove the collar before swimming.
The repellent effect occurs when the parasite comes into contact with a treated dog and creates unfavorable conditions that do not allow the parasite to remain on the animal for a long time (the “burnt legs” effect). Some drugs have an “umbrella” effect, that is, they also affect flea larvae.
Skin particles that die during the process of physiological skin renewal and contain a small amount of insecticidal active substance enter the environment. These particles are the main food for fleas in the environment, which die after eating them.
Exposure to the larvae in the environment results in a decrease in the number of pupae. This double action soon leads to complete elimination of the infestation. According to some estimates, it takes at least 3-4 weeks to completely get rid of all stages of flea development in the environment.
The repellent effect protects animals from attacks by mosquitoes, midges and mosquitoes, reducing the risk of infection with dirofilariasis and leishmaniasis. Acaricidal and insecticidal substances are distributed in the lipid membrane and kill adult insects, absorbed through the intersegmental membranes on the chitinous cover of fleas.
Signs of poisoning appear in fleas after 3-5 minutes and within an hour they die. Those. To distribute the drug, a certain amount of lipid layer on the skin is necessary.
Therefore, a week before treatment and a week after, you need to observe restrictions on the use of shampoos. Subsequent washing with shampoo is acceptable, but if you wash frequently, it is better to repeat the treatment a little earlier to ensure a guaranteed result. The absence of a lipid layer prevents the spread of the drug over the body surface.
Unlike drugs for cutaneous action, drugs for systemic action (Advocate, Stronghold) are absorbed into the blood, and therefore have a detrimental effect on the causative agents of sarcoptic mange, demodicosis, otodectosis, cheyletiellosis, round helminths and heartworm larvae and are less dependent on the use of shampoos.
It is also necessary to take into account that none of the drugs against fleas and ticks is effective for more than a month - this is due to the natural renewal of the skin and a decrease in the concentration of the active substance in the skin.
Getting rid of fleas in an apartment is much more difficult than it seems. It may take up to three months of regular pet treatments before you are finally free of fleas.
We understand perfectly well that this process can turn into a real torment, so we recommend not waiting for fleas to be detected on your pet, but regularly treating your pets with Frontline Combo drops throughout the year. In addition to its effect on ticks and adult fleas, Frontline Combo is designed to destroy immature stages of fleas: eggs and flea larvae. You should also understand what to expect from a flea treatment.
After contact with a treated animal, fleas become more active before dying
Frontline Combo and Frontline Spot contain fipronil. Fipronil causes fleas to become hyperactive before death. So you may notice fleas crawling onto the surface of the fur, and your pet may itch more than usual until the fleas die.
Flea medications do not kill parasites instantly: the flea must get on the animal. Frontline Combo \ Spot It must be absorbed into the body of the parasite, only after that the flea will begin to die. It's a bit like having a cold: there will be some time between you catching the infection and getting sick. It usually takes up to 24 hours for a flea that has jumped on a pet to die.
There are no flea medications that will prevent fleas from appearing on your pet. This means that regardless of the specific drug you use, you may still notice fleas on your animal until the drug kills the parasites.
A new generation of fleas hatches from pupae in your home and attacks your pet.
There are usually many more immature fleas (eggs, larvae and pupae of fleas) in your home than adults on your pet. Given the right temperature and humidity, flea eggs can hatch continuously and new adult fleas can emerge from cocoons (pupae). These new fleas only hatch when there is a host animal (your pet!) nearby, as they need to regularly feed on blood to live and reproduce.
After treating your pet, fleas should die within 24 hours and will also be less likely to lay eggs (as egg laying usually begins 24 hours after feeding). To prevent eggs from hatching into larvae, S-methoprene is added to Frontline Combo, which is aimed at acting against flea eggs and larvae. Frontline Combo will help you control the infestation of your home. When used with Frontline Combo, Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) prevents flea larvae from hatching from eggs and pupating into pupae. This helps prevent the spread of flea infestations to premises and pets.
Your pet picked up fleas on the street
Even after getting rid of a flea infestation in your home, you may still encounter the fact that your pet will pick up new fleas outside the house, for example, in the yard, while walking (or in the car?). Flea eggs and pupae can also be carried indoors on shoes and clothing. By regularly treating all your dogs and cats with Frontline Combo, Frontline Spot On or Frontline Spray, you can combat new flea attacks.
Female fleas can lay up to 50 eggs a day, and even a few fleas can quickly create a full-fledged population in your home. To prevent this from happening. Regular preventative treatment should be carried out on all dogs and cats throughout the year. This will help keep your pet healthy. You can read more about fleas in the next article.
