Doses and method of administration
Animals are treated outdoors or in a well-ventilated room with open windows (vents), away from open fire, after removing cages with ornamental birds from the room and covering aquariums with fish. To prevent licking of the drug, the animal is put on a muzzle or the jaws are secured with a loop of braid. Before use, shake the bottle with the drug and, holding it vertically, press the spray head, directing the aerosol torch at the surface to be treated from a distance of 20 - 25 cm. To destroy insects and prevent attacks on animals by ixodid ticks, spray the entire body of the animal against hair growth, slightly moisturizing the fur (in animals with long-haired breeds, the fur is lifted with your hand). Covering the animal's eyes, treat the ears and chest, lightly rub the drug around the eyes and nose with your fingertips, then treat the neck, torso, limbs, belly and tail. 20 minutes after treatment, the animal’s fur is combed with a comb, after which the animal’s jaws are freed from the muzzle (braid). To destroy ixodid ticks on the body of an animal, the drug is applied to the tick and the place of its attachment to the skin (one press on the spray head). If within 20 - 30 minutes the tick does not fall off spontaneously, it is carefully pulled out with tweezers and destroyed. For preventive purposes, treatments are carried out according to indications, but no more than once a month against insects and no more than once every fourteen days against ixodid ticks (during the season of their parasitism). In order to prevent re-infestation by fleas, bedding, blankets and other animal care items are treated with a spray at the rate of 2 ml (four presses on the spray head) per 1 m2 of surface to be treated. For three days, the animal is not allowed to come into contact with the treated items, and before subsequent use, they are washed (washed) with detergent. When cats are affected by notoedrosis, and dogs are affected by sarcoptic mange, the drug is applied to the affected areas of the body, previously cleared of stools, covering the borderline healthy skin up to 1 cm. Treatment with the drug is carried out, slightly moisturizing the affected areas, 2 - 4 times with an interval of 7 - 10 days until the animal’s clinical recovery , which is confirmed by two negative results of acarological studies. Animals with large affected areas are treated in two doses with an interval of 1 day, applying the drug to the affected areas of first one and then the other half of the body. Until the fur is completely dry after treatment, animals should not be allowed to lick the preparation, nor should they be allowed near open fires or heating devices. In case of increased individual sensitivity of animals to the drug (lacrimation, excessive salivation, muscle tremors) or signs of skin irritation, the drug should be washed off with soap and water.

What is included in the Bars spray?
Bars flea remedy is sold in convenient bottles made of plastic with a volume of 100 and 200 ml.
Both types of packaging are equipped with a sprayer for ease of use of the drug. Each package contains detailed instructions for using this flea medicine.

- alcohol;
- Castor oil;
- glycerol;
- hydrochloric acid;
- water.
The product has a characteristic yellowish tint and a specific smell. Bars spray has a very strong smell due to the insecticide fipronil.
The medicine is applied to the cat's fur by spraying, after which the active substance quickly penetrates into the hair follicles and upper layers of the animal's skin. The spray can be used to both treat and prevent flea and tick infestations in your cat.
Fleas are an all-season scourge, and ticks especially often plague animals in the summer. The risk of infecting a pet with blood-sucking parasites increases sharply if the cat lives in a private household and goes for a walk outside, where it can easily come into contact with sick animals. It only takes one single flea settling on the fur of a domestic cat for it to very soon become the carrier of a whole colony of blood-sucking parasites. Fleas lay large numbers of larvae, causing their numbers to grow rapidly.
Fleas are dangerous not only because they bite and greatly bother the cat, but also because they spread dangerous diseases. One application of the drug is enough to protect your pet from fleas for up to one month. All components of the medicine are safe for the cat, since they do not penetrate into its body, but remain only in the outer layers of the epidermis. Fipronil has a detrimental effect on fleas and other blood-sucking insects, as it causes complete paralysis in the parasites.
