The presence of fleas in a kitten or puppy is quite common. They bring a lot of trouble to the owners of these animals, so they have to use various drugs to get rid of the scourge. Most often, pet owners use Bars flea drops.

How to use Bars drops

• Bars medicinal drops against fleas for cats;
• Therapeutic and prophylactic agent for kittens;
• Therapeutic and prophylactic remedy for fleas;
• Complex product for cats and dogs.

How does the product work?

The main component in the drug is permethrin. It comes from nerve poisons that spread throughout the insect’s body and cause disturbances in the functioning of nerve impulses. The result is paralysis of the body and its death. They will not affect the animal’s body in any way, of course, if everything is done according to the instructions.

Anya, Pinky's owner: It is best to use drops; they fall on the animal's body in places where it cannot reach, plus precise contact with the body. The kitten is 4 months old, regular flea treatments are not suitable, it’s good that there is Bars for kittens. They have a mild effect and do not harm the kitten in any way.

Instructions for use of Bars drops

Using a plastic pipette, the drug is applied to the animal’s skin and spreads evenly throughout the body. The drug is not absorbed into the skin and does not enter the pet’s blood, but accumulates in the pores.

• the most inaccessible area for licking is selected on the dog’s withers;
• the fur and undercoat move apart;
• Apply Bars onto the skin in droplets in several places.

For the first few hours, you should ensure that the animal does not lick itself. The likelihood of poisoning is especially high when several animals are treated at once in one house. Dogs can lick each other.

For otodectosis, drops are instilled into each ear of the animal in the following steps:

• the dog's ears are cleaned of wax, dirt and mucus;
• the required dosage is instilled into each ear;
• The ears are folded and with massage movements the drug is evenly distributed over the inside of the shell.

After instillation into the ears, it is important to ensure that the dog does not shake its head for 15–20 minutes. To do this, the animal is distracted by a treat or stroking.

Dosage

How to give drops to an animal without causing intoxication? It is important to follow the dosage, which is calculated depending on the dog’s weight:

• weight from 2 to 10 kg - 1 pipette (1.4 ml);
• from 11 to 20 kg - 2 pipettes (2.8 ml);
• from 21 to 30 kg - 3 pipettes (4.2 ml);
• from 30 kg - 4–7 pipettes (5–10 ml).

For dogs weighing more than 30 kg and puppies, a more accurate calculation of drops is made from the ratio per 1 kg of animal weight / 0.1 ml of the drug. The exact dosage will prevent intoxication.

For the convenience of breeders, the manufacturer offers pipettes with the drug of various volumes.

Reviews of Bars for dogs are as follows:

Vitaly:“I use Bars drops for preventive purposes, I drip them in the fall and spring on the pet’s withers. There are no fleas all year round. The pet had no side effects. But after instillation, I don’t let the dog lick his lips.”

Elena:“The drug Bars for fleas is inexpensive, but it caused an allergic reaction in my Shih Tzu. I had to quickly wash off the drops and give medicine. Although the dosage was calculated correctly. Before this, treatment was carried out only with an imported product in the form of a spray.”

Julia:“We use leopard to treat cats and dogs. Since we have a lot of them, we purchase several packages at once. Animals do not have fleas, but after application it is necessary to ensure that cats do not lick the drops off each other and dogs. We consider drops safer than vaccinations or oral medications.”

Price

The price of Bars drops varies little in different regions.

Keeping a dog at home is not just about providing it with good food, walks, games and exercise. It is also necessary to carefully monitor the pet's health. And the main thing is to take preventive measures in a timely manner. And a drug like “Bars” can help with this - drops for dogs, the instructions for use of which do not require special knowledge from the animal owner.

How to apply

There is some peculiarity in the use of such a product as “Bars” (drops for dogs). The instructions instruct you to “drip” the medicine onto the animal’s skin. The proportions will be described below. Drops are most often applied to the area behind the ears and on the withers. At the same time, the wool moves apart so that the product gets directly onto the skin and not the fur. If there are several dogs in the house, disinfection is carried out on all of them at once, on the same day. It is recommended to additionally treat the bedding on which the animal sleeps. And if there are soft toys, then those too. The disinfectant for dog “furniture” must be selected from the same series as the drops in order for the effect to be truly effective. Do not apply Bars (drops for dogs) to the bedding!

Instructions

The drug is sold in small ampoules, each of which contains a single dose of the drug, designed for a pet weighing from two to ten kilograms. If the dog weighs more, then more medicine will be required, accordingly. It is worth remembering that the volume of one ampoule is designed for one dose; open ampoules cannot be stored. By the way, they are plastic. The tip is cut off with a knife, and the drops are applied pointwise to the pet’s skin. It is advisable to wear rubber gloves while working with the drug.

What to do after

Bars flea drops for dogs act for a long time, penetrating into the animal’s body through the skin. But for this to happen, after use it is necessary to isolate the pet from communication with other family members for two days. It is imperative to cancel water procedures and refrain from stroking.
