FAQs

How often should I apply Itch Flea and Tick Treatment?

The treatment should be applied monthly to maintain protection against fleas, ticks, and lice.

Can I use this on a puppy?

Yes, this treatment is safe for puppies over 8 weeks old, provided they weigh between 1-10kg.

What should I do if my dog gets wet after application?

It is best to avoid bathing or swimming your dog for 48 hours after application, as water can reduce the product's effectiveness. If your dog does get wet, monitor for effectiveness.

Does this product kill flea eggs and larvae?

Yes, the S-methoprene in the formula prevents the development of flea eggs and larvae, breaking the flea life cycle.

What are the active ingredients and what do they do?

The active ingredients are Fipronil, which kills fleas, ticks, and lice on contact, and S-methoprene, an Insect Growth Regulator that prevents the development of flea eggs and larvae.

Can I use this on multiple pets in the household?

Yes, you can use it on other eligible pets (dogs within the weight range and puppies over 8 weeks), but ensure each pet receives the correct dosage for its weight.

What if I accidentally apply it to the fur instead of the skin?

Try to gently massage it into the skin if possible. If applied entirely to the fur, its effectiveness may be reduced. Reapply the correct dose to the skin as soon as possible, following product guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Dog is still scratching after application.

Fleas may still be present on the dog or in the environment. Ensure the full dose was applied correctly to the skin. It can take up to 24 hours to kill all adult fleas. Continue environmental flea control and reapply as per schedule.

Application site appears red or irritated.

This can occasionally happen. Monitor the site. If irritation is severe or persists, wash the area gently with mild soap and water and consult your veterinarian.

Product seems ineffective against ticks.

Ensure the entire pipette contents were applied directly to the skin and not the fur. Ticks should be killed on contact. If ticks are still actively feeding after 24-48 hours, consult your veterinarian.

Dog licked the application spot before it dried.

Monitor your dog for any adverse reactions such as drooling or lethargy. If observed, contact your veterinarian. Attempt to prevent licking by distracting the dog or using an Elizabethan collar if necessary.
