The best flea drops for cats

Authors of development and line

The drug is free of fleas - a product of the Russian scientific and production company SKiFF. Today it occupies a leading position in the country's veterinary market. Products produced under its auspices are actively used to solve the problem of ticks, fleas, lice and other parasites in both cats and dogs.

The range of products includes:

drops for dogs on the withers;
spray for cats and dogs for one-time treatment;
Blokhnet max drops are an improved analogue.

Drops for dogs include several drug options, taking into account the weight of animals from 10 to 40 kg, as well as drops for cats. Parasites under the influence of the product die after the first contact with the pet. The product is also suitable as a preventative to protect the animal from possible infection by parasites - the strong insecticidal smell will prevent contact with fleas, ticks and other pests.

Blokhnet spray is suitable for treating both cats and dogs; it is intended for a one-time treatment of the animal’s fur. The drug is relevant in cases where pets are intolerant to insecticidal drugs that somehow penetrate the blood. The spray acts more delicately in this regard, fighting parasites at the level of external contact.

Blochnet max drops are a completely separate line created by Astrapharma based on the original drug. The line completely duplicates the prototype, except that the composition of the new products is considered more effective and safer. Just as in the case of the original, Blochnet max is represented by several types of drops for cats and dogs, depending on body weight.

The remedies described above have repeatedly proven their effectiveness in the fight against parasites that can make the life of animals unbearable. The most suitable option is selected for each pet, taking into account its age, health status, and reaction to insecticidal drugs.

How Blokhnet works - useful to know

As already noted, fleanet for cats and dogs includes several active components, which together enhance the toxic effect on pests. The peculiarity of the product lies in its ability not only to destroy adult individuals and their offspring in the form of oviposition, but also to repel potentially dangerous parasites for a long time after treatment.

The drug is packaged in convenient dropper bottles with different volumes (from 1 to 4 ml). Depending on the weight of the pet, choose one or another package at the rate of 1 ml per 10 kg of weight.

As a result of treatment, the product affects parasites from the blood-sucking group:

ticks;
fleas;
lice, etc.

Fipronil and benzyl benzoate block the nerve impulses of pests, which causes paralysis followed by death. The dimethyl phthalate included in the composition plays the role of a pest repellent.

Methods of application

Before applying any product, it is advisable to wash the animal using medicated shampoos, which have a primary insecticidal effect. After the procedure, at least one day must pass for the active substances to take effect.

The next step is applying the product. If these are drops, you need to prepare a container with them and try to secure the animal as much as possible. If it is too mobile, the best option would be to carry out the procedure immediately after it wakes up or during sleep.

Bathing the animal will wash away some of the parasites from its body.

The drops are applied with the tip of a special pipette, which is located at the end of the bottle with the drug. The process steps are as follows:

Spread the fur as much as possible and expose the skin.
Place the tip of the pipette on the surface of the epidermis.
Squeeze out a small drop of BlochNet.
With a slight movement of the pipette itself, rub the product over a small area around.

For cats and dogs, the application site is slightly different. In both species, this is the spine, but due to the fact that the former are more flexible and can reach a large area of the back with their tongue, they are allowed to rub the product only from the base of the skull to the shoulder blades. The dog can safely apply it to the middle of the back.

The principles of applying BlochNet for dogs and cats differ due to the difference in the flexibility of the animals’ bodies.

It is strictly forbidden for drops to get on the mucous membranes of animals, as this can cause serious poisoning. One procedure should be enough to protect your pet for a long time. After it is completed, the following restrictions are imposed on interaction with the pet:

no bathing for 3 days;
contact with other animals is prohibited for 2 days until the initial absorption of the product occurs;
Petting or playing with your pet is also prohibited for up to 2 days.

In addition, it is not advisable to walk with them in rain or wet weather. All these preventive actions are aimed primarily at preventing further spread of the product through the skin, fur and its entry into the digestive system.

If the animal is hyperactive due to its young age or for another reason, a special veterinary collar may be needed to limit head movement. The main thing is not to be fooled by the outwardly dejected appearance of the animal and not to remove the device ahead of time.

To prevent the animal from licking the BlochNet product after applying it to the body, it is worth putting a veterinary collar on it.

The BlochNet instructions for cats and dogs that have been found to have ear mites prescribe the following procedure for applying the product:

Moisten the ear stick with warm water.
Thoroughly clean both ears of the animal with it.
Place BlochNet under the base of the affected ear and rub lightly.
Treat the second ear in the same way, even if no parasites were observed in it.

A symmetrical procedure is necessary to prevent re-infection. In search of a better habitat, ticks removed from one ear, as a rule, choose the second shell.

The technology for applying the product in the form of a spray is the simplest. All actions with it should be carried out in a well-ventilated area, or even better, outside, in calm weather, to avoid it getting into the respiratory tract of both the owner and the animal. Despite the very low concentration, this is undesirable due to the faster absorption of substances into the bloodstream through the lungs.

“BlochNet” spray should be sprayed in calm weather and away from the respiratory organs of humans and animals.

You need to spray from a distance of 30-40 cm, in the direction against the growth of the fur. As a rule, the animal will not be able to detect an unpleasant odor, since the composition does not contain too strong odorants. This means that it will not immediately begin to lick the drug from the fur, and it will be completely absorbed.

How to use drops correctly?

The drug fleanet (the instructions require strict adherence) is applied in drops to the skin and hair of the infected pet, observing the dosage. To do this, the animal's fur in the withers area is delicately divided into two parts, thus exposing an area of skin. The drug is applied to it in several places so that the animal cannot lick the product.

The area at the withers can be replaced with a section at the base of the skull, or the skin and hair can be treated along the entire spine if the animal is large. Before starting treatment, it is important to ensure that there are no injuries on the animal’s body:

wounds;
bites;
cuts;
ulcers, etc.

The duration of action of the drug varies. Cats, for example, can forget about fleas for several months, but dogs can be susceptible to a second attack within a month. The drug will protect pets from other types of pests for at least a month. Therefore, repeated treatment is also recommended every month, but not more often.

For animals diagnosed with otodectosis (ear scabies as a result of infection by ear mites), fleanet drops are used differently. They start by cleaning the pet’s ears from crusts and scabs with a swab dipped in Blochnet. Clean and dried ears are instilled with drops (3-4 in each), after which they are folded and the ear is gently massaged.

To achieve a positive result, ear treatment is carried out in the morning and evening every 7-10 days. You need to drip the drug into two ears at once, even if one of them is healthy, thus preventing the spread of parasites.

To defeat ixodid ticks, drops are applied to each pest separately. The pest will loosen its grip within 20 minutes after treatment; you can help it with this using tweezers.

For greater effect, treat the pet's bedding with the drug.

Spray Blokhnet: how to use correctly?

The instructions for cats and dogs for using Blokhnet spray are slightly different. The drug is suitable for one-time treatment of pet skin. It is prescribed, as already noted, in case of personal intolerance to the components included in the insecticide.

The spray works as effectively as drops, but does not enter the bloodstream and does not affect receptors associated with the reaction to the drug.

The spray is used as follows: in the direction opposite to the fur, the drug is sprayed at a distance of 30 cm from the skin. It is extremely important to treat the animal in comfortable, windless conditions outside.

Drops Max - how they work and the algorithm for use

Considering that Max drops are an improved copy of the original Blokhnet drops, they are used according to the same principle. But the effect of the treatment will be more noticeable - the pests will die faster, and the animal will feel practically nothing. On average, pets can forget about blood-sucking pests after treatment for at least a month, and in cases with fleas - for two.

Treatment with the drug is carried out wearing rubber gloves that can protect the skin of the hands from allergic reactions to individual components of the product. After treatment, the animal should not have contact with family members for 48 hours. Below are reviews from owners of cats and dogs who have tested the effects of Blokhnet in practice.

Alina, owner of the cat Kiri and the cat Zosya: “My pets are absolutely indoors, that is, they never go outside at all. And then in the fall they both start to itch. I looked under the fur and found a crowd of fleas. They recommended Blokhnet drops. I only needed 2 drops on the withers of each cat. Already on the third day, both stopped itching. Re-treatment has not yet been required, although Zosya is fluffy.”
Konstantin, owner of the cat Vasily: “The store recommended an improved version of Blochnet Max.” Believed, bought, processed. The effect was shocking, to put it mildly. Yes, the fleas came under the influence of the drug - this is obvious, but at first they actively chewed the cat for several days, and then simply scattered around the apartment in a semi-fainting state! What kind of remedy? It’s not clear what its improved effect is, I’ll look for something more effective!”
