Infection of pets most often occurs while walking outside. But remember that a cat that is completely domestic and never goes outside can become infected. The fact is that parasites can enter living quarters in different ways and attack a cat or dog.

Types of shampoo

There are several types of shampoo on the market, which allows you to choose an individual option specifically for your pet. You can buy it in bottles of different sizes: 160 ml, 250 ml.

When choosing, you need to consider the following differences:

• For cats and dogs. This is a universal shampoo that is suitable for use on both cats and dogs. The composition includes extracts of calendula, chamomile, coltsfoot.
• For cats. The composition includes lanolin, as well as extracts of chamomile, dandelion, and plantain.
• For dogs with short hair. The composition also contains lanolin and extracts of plantain, dandelion, and thyme.
• For dogs with long hair. The composition includes special substances that moisturize and help care for long hair. Also includes extracts of sage, burdock, St. John's wort.

Regardless of the type, the shampoo has a pleasant light aroma. When bathing your pet, they foam well and are easily washed off. When bathing, you must ensure that the shampoo does not get on your mucous membranes; if this happens, you must rinse thoroughly with water.

Preparations for removing parasites

Infection with these pests can occur by chance (for example, a flea is brought into an apartment from street clothes or after visiting the basement). Very often, pet owners encounter this problem.

To obtain a very effective result, the fight against parasites must be carried out comprehensively. To do this, you need to do a general cleaning of the room, treat clothes, and also use special products.

Now the range of products for removing fleas from humans is in no way inferior to the number of drugs developed for animals. There are a huge number of healing products for the body and hair on store shelves.

It is necessary to use shampoo in combination with other preventive measures, as fleas may appear again.

Compound

Anti-parasite shampoo has a highly concentrated composition, which includes:

• Useful ingredients;
• Foaming compounds;
• But the main active substances are chemicals that immobilize the nervous system of insects.

These preparations, unlike ordinary shampoos, help get rid of small eggs and larvae of parasites, which lead to re-infection, due to the content of a natural component - celandine.

Celandine - a natural fighter for body cleanliness

Principle of action

The active ingredients in the shampoo act on the nervous system of fleas. Substances enter the channels of cell membranes, which leads to a decrease in the polarization of nerves and paralysis of the insect.

But complete defeat does not occur, therefore, after introducing the product, you need to carefully comb out the curls in order to completely remove the parasites. To do this, experts advise using a wooden hair comb with the rarest teeth.

Sveta

And we had the opportunity to become acquainted with such parasites as lice and nits. My daughter is small, but she got infected somewhere. The D-95 product was recommended to me by a pharmacist at the pharmacy, it was developed for children, so as not to poison the skin and the body itself, it acts more mechanically, the liquid is easily distributed through the hair, overpowers everyone, and then I combed it thoroughly with a comb, also convenient, small teeth quickly everyone is pulled out. I made sure to take preventive measures, and that’s how I dealt with head lice.

A child has a much higher risk of getting lice than an adult. Therefore, treatment and prevention of pediculosis in children has to be carried out more often. It is important that the treatment is convenient to use, does not cause allergies or discomfort, has a mild active base and is suitable for use in childhood.

To combat head lice in children, you can use any popular shampoos: Veda (Veda-2), Paranit, Hygia, Tar, Pedilin, etc.

This remedy may be suitable for those who have not been helped by regular shampoos made for people.

Contraindications and application features

Like all other insecticidal agents, Lugovoy has its contraindications, which must be taken into account so as not to harm the animal.

These include:

• Do not use on animals that have diseases or are in the recovery stage.
• Cannot be used on weakened animals.
• Do not use by pregnant or lactating animals.
• Use for animals under 3 months is prohibited.
• Prohibited for human use.

During bathing, you should ensure that your pet does not lick the drug. Also, do not allow the drug to come into contact with mucous membranes.

How dangerous are lice?

Finally, I would like to describe the full picture of the dangers of lice. Everyone knows that the first sign of lice is itching on the scalp, but not everyone knows that when you scratch the skin after a bite, you can crush the louse and introduce parts of its feces into the damaged skin. This does not sound very pleasant, of course, just as the consequences of this process may turn out to be unfavorable. The real danger lies in the fact that lice can cause typhus. And this is much more serious than just parasites in the hair. So you definitely need to get rid of uninvited guests in a timely manner and not let your head get to such a state that it is covered in wounds from scratching.

The disease causes a lot of inconvenience, and its carrier transmits lice to other people, and this can even happen on public transport. But besides this, pediculosis can also be caused by other serious diseases. Therefore, you should know in advance which shampoo is most suitable today for the treatment of head lice and other hair on the human body. By going to any pharmacy, you can find any of the options for anti-nit shampoo.

How to use it correctly

There is nothing difficult in processing, you need to perform the following steps:

• The pet is placed in a bath; a basin can be used if the animal is not large.
• It is very good to wet the wool with water.
• Apply shampoo to the coat and rub with light massaging movements until a lather appears.
• Leave the foam for 10 minutes.
• Rinse off the foam thoroughly, in several stages, so that the product does not remain on the body.
• Then comb and dry.

It will be necessary to repeat the procedures after 10 days as a preventive measure and to prevent re-infection. Remember that you will need to treat your cat or dog's bedding.

Folk remedies

Everything new is well forgotten old

There are, of course, so-called folk remedies for this scourge.

They prepare them with their own hands and use them effectively.

• Mix 200 milliliters of wine vinegar and 40 - 45 grams of ordinary salt thoroughly and add about a teaspoon of alcohol. Soak gauze with the solution and apply to the head. Hair should be dry. Lotions are made throughout the day. The compress is changed several times.
• Kerosene plus vegetable oil, at a ratio of one to ten. The hair is treated and wrapped in wax paper and a towel and left for 12 hours. Then the head is washed and all parasites are combed out with a comb treated with vinegar.
• A mixture of cranberry juice (50 grams of berries is usually enough) and honey (a teaspoon) helps against nits. The mixture is rubbed into the hair.
• They say burdock and ninesil can also help. The leaves and stems are brewed, infused and filtered. The head is treated with a decoction.
• Grind a cup of cumin seeds and mix with the same amount of apple cider vinegar. The solution is filtered and rubbed into the head. You need to keep your hair in the sun for about 20 minutes, and then do not wash off the solution for another five hours.

Lice eggs (nits) are usually combed out with a comb

Advice! Whatever lice remedy you choose, after treating your head, be sure to pay attention to bedding and general hygiene at home. Otherwise, re-infection cannot be avoided.

Side effects

Side effects are possible in animals that have individual intolerance to certain components of the shampoo. They can manifest themselves differently in everyone, most often there is increased salivation and lacrimation. Symptoms may appear on the skin in the form of irritation, inflammation, and redness.

In such situations, it is necessary to rinse the fur and skin very well with water and give the animal an antihistamine. You need to contact a veterinarian, who, based on symptoms and health status, will give recommendations on next steps. Further use of shampoo is prohibited, so your doctor will help you choose an effective and safe replacement.

Lotions, solutions

Solutions containing insecticidal preparations are no less effective in controlling lice. This highly concentrated liquid must be used strictly in accordance with the included instructions.

Customer Reviews

As a rule, an opinion about the quality of a drug is formed thanks to the reviews of those people who have already used it. Having studied them, we can note quite positive reviews regarding application and effectiveness.

There is a pleasant aroma, ease of use and quick positive results. Reviews show that the use of Lugovoy allows you to quickly cure an infected animal and at the same time provide care for its fur.

In addition, there is a lower price compared to foreign analogues. Shampoo is sold in any specialty store.

general information

It must be said right away that no matter how good the anti-lice shampoo is, it is unlikely to cope with parasite larvae. The thing is that the nit (and this is what the eggs of these parasites are usually called) is attached by an adult to a hair in a strong cocoon that is resistant to toxic substances. Therefore, even with repeated use of shampoo, the larvae cannot be dealt with just by washing your hair. Lice shampoo will only help kill individuals that have already hatched from eggs, but nits must be dealt with separately. For this purpose, you need to purchase a special comb and comb your hair thoroughly with it after washing. Some shampoos come with such a fine-toothed comb.
