Effipro Spot On for Cats

Effipro Spot On for Cats

Effipro Spot On for Cats is an anti flea and tick product for cats with fipronil as the active substance.

Fleas

Fleas are annoying and sometimes harmful because they can cause itching and allergies. In addition, fleas can lead to feline tapeworm infections. Itching leads to scratching, causing inflammation and lesions to occur, leading to a shabby coat and causing stress in your cat.

Ticks

There are several types of ticks: Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor reticulatus and Rhipicephalus ticks. The Ixodes ricinus (castor bean tick) can transmit Lyme disease. Symptoms include lethargy, fever, joint and sometimes kidney problems. The Dermacentor tick is mainly known as the carrier of babesiosis disease, which can cause anaemia, blood pools, jaundice, lethargy, and high fever. The Rhipicephalus tick (Mediterranean Sea area) causes ehrlichiosis, a serious disease that is recognisable by bleeding, fever, weight loss and apathy.

Product features

Effipro Spot On for Cats contains Fipronil as the active substance. Fipronil is the most widely used flea and tick pesticide. In cats, the product remains effective against fleas for up to five weeks and against ticks for up to two weeks. The product can also be used in case of a flea allergy (allergic dermatitis caused by fleas).
