FAQ

How does it differ from other concentrations in the range?

The amount of active ingredient per pipette varies depending on the cat's weight; the combination of selamectin and sarolaner remains the same. This 60/10 mg pipette is for cats weighing 5 to 10 kg, and the choice based on weight should be confirmed by the veterinarian.

How long does the effect last?

Five weeks for protection against fleas and the ticks Ixodes ricinus and I. hexagonus; four weeks for protection against Dermacentor reticulatus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus. After that time, the veterinarian reviews the schedule according to the tick risk.

Can it be used on sick or thin cats?

No: the manufacturer advises against its use in cats with a concurrent illness or those that are debilitated and underweight. It should also not be used in cats with hypersensitivity to the active ingredients. Before applying the pipette, the veterinarian should assess the cat's overall condition.

What happens if the cat licks the area?

This product is for topical use only and should not be ingested. Apply to the skin at the base of the neck, in front of the shoulder blades, on dry fur, in a spot the cat cannot reach to lick. Do not administer orally or inject.

What do you do with a cat that weighs more than 10 kg?

For cats over 10 kg, pipettes are combined, and the veterinarian will calculate the appropriate combination for their weight. Do not improvise the combination at home: the choice based on weight should always be confirmed by a veterinarian.
