If you do not have enough love - get a dog or cat. You will be gifted with it from head to toe and learn to give it yourself. Faithful and obedient dogs adore their master without memory, and slightly arrogant and cunning cats will allow you to choose them as objects of your worship, if you, in the opinion of the animals, deserve it. How to get a pet's location? Entire treatises write about this, but the main idea can be fit in a few words: to love sincerely, to feed, to care for, and not to let you get bored. With most of the above, everything is clear, but here is the proper care of the pet - what is it? Walk your beloved dog regularly, give freedom of action to the cat, say, at least on the balcony - this is the time. But the street is a complete danger to the animal! Inadequate people, litter and debris, yard dogs who want to feed the fluffy meowing or barking miracle neighbors. With the right owner, the animal will always be great - even after an unsafe walk in the yard or a trip with friends to barbecue in the forest. And for many dog breeders, and for cat owners, the forest is equivalent to ticks. But nothing is sorry for the pet - and the owners rush to the vet clinic for the help of a good doctor.
Prescription Aibolit
Of course, you can buy the necessary antiparasitic medicine without a prescription - the same “Bars” will cost you many times cheaper. Remembering that some drugs are more expensive only because of the promotion, and the filling of the ampoules is often the same, you can stop at this proven tool. Perhaps some drug was recommended to you by friends. But will they suit your pet? Now Frontline is recognized as one of the best drugs. For cats and dogs, in the form of drops or in the form of a spray - the ideal option will be chosen for you. The most convenient, of course, is Front Line Spray. The instruction is on the package, but it will be useful to discuss the dosage with the doctor. Perhaps your pet needs less spray from parasites, but hardly more.
Instructions for use
So, there are different forms of the drug.
Front Line Spray
The instruction says that it can be used to combat various types of pests: it will remove ticks, fleas, and small parasites that cause scabies, and so on. Do not do the processing in the apartment, it is better to go outside to inhale the specific smell of the medicine less. Work the coat against the growth line, massage the liquid a little into the skin. The face is best wiped with a damp cotton swab to avoid irritation. Dosage depends on the weight and length of the coat of the cat or dog. It is determined by the number of clicks, and for bottles with different capacities it is different. Three dozen presses of a spray bottle of a 100-ml bottle, for example, would be the ideal amount for a shorthair five-kilogram animal. In general, it is 3 ml per kilogram of weight. You can read reviews: Front Line in the form of a spray is recommended not only by the owners, but also by doctors. This drug is practically safe even for small kittens or puppies who have reached two days of age! After processing, make sure that the pet does not lick still wet coat. Do not wash it another two days after applying the medicine. When to repeat processing? Not earlier than in a month if you kill ticks. For other pests, wait 3 months.
Front Line Drops
For dogs, this form is often recommended. In the package - one ampoule-pipette, convenient to use. There are separate pipettes for different weight dogs, so it’s easier with a dosage. Break off the plastic tip of the pipette. Apply the preparation between the shoulder blades while spreading the coat. For a day, it spreads over the skin and is absorbed into the glands of the animal. Only ticks will be affected. Repeat the course of treatment with the same frequency as when applying the spray form.
Is it worth paying more?
With all the hype and popularity of the drug, one should not forget about what made it so powerful. Yes, yes, it's all about the active substance. In Frontline, this is fipronil, which was recently obtained. The essence of its action is that it affects the GABA channels of insects, interfering with the passage of chlorine ions. As a result, the pest’s nervous system collapses and it dies. In this case, the mammal is not harmful. According to official data and reviews, Front Line can cost from four hundred to one and a half thousand rubles, depending on the characteristics. But the prices for other drugs with the active substance fipronil are much more affordable: from a hundred rubles.
Customer reviews: Front Line is not the same?
Of course, this drug would not be so popular among owners of dogs and cats, if not for excellent quality. All of its advantages have already been said: safe, effective, applicable to almost all animals. However, what can we notice when viewing reviews? Front Line is increasingly losing effectiveness. Some animals, instead of getting rid of ticks, acquire other diseases that would seem to be unrelated to the original problem. It's all about the manufacturer. France is considered the best. Polish and Russian medicines are noticeably inferior in quality. And yet, four out of five stars invariably accompany customer reviews.
Best defense
Before buying a drug, consult with your veterinarian. Do not pipette too small puppies and kittens, as opposed to spray. Read the instructions on the packaging. Remember that the best protection is looking after and loving your pet.
