Dana Spot-On, drops on the withers for dogs and puppies from 20 kg. 1.5 ml., 4 pipettes

Pets living side by side with people have long turned from just animals into family members. Many owners watch their dogs much more closely than they watch themselves, and there is a reason for this. The fact is that it is much easier for pets to get some kind of unpleasant illness than for us. They are constantly in danger: in particular, many problems arise due to infection with various ectoparasites, such as fleas, ticks, lice eaters, etc. These harmful insects not only cause inconvenience to our pets in the form of constant itching, but also destroy the animal’s skin and provoke the development of many serious diseases. Today on the veterinary market there are a large number of products that can completely cure the suffering of our furry family members. In this article we will talk about one of them: Dana Spot-on for dogs.

"Dana Spot-on" for dogs: instructions for use

"Dana Spot-on": pharmacological action

This drug is now very actively used to rid dogs, as well as cats and other pets, of various ectoparasites. The product is used for external application to the body of an infected animal. In fact, “Dana Spot-on” is an insectoacaricide - a drug that works against insects such as:

• demodex mites (subcutaneous);
• ixodid ticks (dangerous for humans);
• fleas;
• lice;
• sarcoptic mites (a microscopic organism that feeds on the blood, plasma and epithelium of the dog);
• lice eaters, etc.

The active substance included in Dana, which exactly kills the pests that cause our dogs so much inconvenience, is called fipronil. It works great at all stages of parasite development:

• effectively destroys insects that have not reached sexual maturity;
• also remarkably eliminates sexually mature individuals.

The dosage of the drug is prescribed by the manufacturer and can be adjusted by a veterinarian

This drug works as follows:

• the product is applied to the animal’s skin;
• insects come into contact with the product;
• the drug leads to a blockade of the transmission of nerve impulses in the body of parasites;
• As a result, insects develop paralysis of the body, which becomes the cause of their rapid death.

This product is applied to the animal’s withers because:

• the animal is not able to lick the product;
• in this place, extremely inactive absorption of substances by the skin occurs, which causes minimal penetration of the product into the animal’s body;
• after some time, the drug is evenly distributed over most of the surface of the animal’s body, accumulating inside skin cells, glands that produce sebum, and hair follicles, which causes an exclusively contact effect on ticks.

The product is applied to the withers

This medicine “gains momentum” from 12 hours to 24 hours after you apply the drops to your dog for the first time. After the specified period, the dog’s body will begin to cleanse itself of ectoparasites.

Please note: one treatment with Dana Spot-on provides your pet with protection from harmful insects; its duration will be a month to a month and a half.

According to the official information available about the drug, the corresponding hazard class is fourth, that is, this drug is low-hazard for animals. Therefore, many pet owners choose it, because using “Dana Spot-on” you don’t have to worry about your pet having:

• skin irritation;
• allergic reactions;
• rashes associated with the drug entering the human blood.

The drug lasts 1.5 months after one treatment

However, you should still follow some safety precautions when using this drug:

• use the dosage prescribed by the doctor, or the one indicated in the instructions for the drug;
• do not apply the drug near the animal’s eyes, as it may cause irritation of the mucous membranes;
• do not allow the animal to lick the product;
• Do not rub your own skin, eyes, etc. with hands stained with product.

Please note: there is a list of living creatures for which the application of this drug is strictly contraindicated due to its high toxicity. Please avoid using drops on:

• rabbits;
• fish and other river, sea, and lake inhabitants;
• bees.

This is what the ampoule looks like

The high popularity of this product is explained by some of its unique distinctive features. This is about:

• broad spectrum action;
• providing complete protection against ectoparasites for a period of a month and a half;
• resistance to water;
• equally high efficiency when used on animals with short and long coats.

Application procedure:

Dana Spot-on is prescribed to dogs and cats from 12 weeks of age for the treatment and prevention of entomoses caused by fleas, lice and lice, acarosis caused by sarcoptic, ixodid and demodectic ticks, and in fur-bearing animals - for the treatment and prevention of otodectosis.

A contraindication for use is individual intolerance to the components of the drug, including a history of it. Animals with infectious diseases and recovering animals, dogs weighing less than 2 kg, kittens and puppies under 12 weeks of age cannot be treated. Auricular use of the drug (for ear scabies) in case of perforation of the eardrum is not allowed. For pregnant and lactating females, Dana Spot-on is used, if necessary, under the supervision of a veterinarian. 10. Danu Spot-on for the treatment and prevention of entomosis, as well as the protection of dogs and cats from attacks by ixodid ticks, is used once by drip application (“spot-on”) onto dry, intact skin in places inaccessible to licking by animals (the area of ​​the back between the shoulder blades or neck area at the base of the skull), choosing a pipette tube of the required volume, taking into account the type and weight of the animal being treated, in the doses indicated in the table:

* or a combination of pipettes of other volumes Repeated treatments of animals during the season of greatest parasite activity are carried out according to indications, but not more than once a month, if the animal is washed frequently with detergent (more than 2 times a month) - no more than 1 time in 2 weeks. In order to prevent re-infestation by fleas, the animals' bedding is replaced or treated with an approved insecticidal preparation in accordance with the instructions for use. The acaricidal effect of fipronil begins 24 hours after application of the drug; therefore, treatments should be carried out no later than 24 hours before the animal is supposed to walk in places where ticks may live (parks, squares, forests). To destroy ixodid ticks on the animal’s body, the drug in an amount of 1 – 2 drops is applied to the tick and the place of its attachment to the skin. If the tick does not fall off spontaneously within 20–30 minutes, it is carefully pulled out of the body and destroyed. To treat dogs, cats and fur-bearing animals with otodectosis (ear scabies), the external auditory canal is cleaned of scabs and crusts, then 3-5 drops of the drug are instilled into each ear, the auricle is folded in half lengthwise and its base is massaged. The treatment is repeated 2 - 3 times with an interval of 5 - 7 days. If necessary, the course of treatment is repeated. The drug must be administered into both ears, even if clinical signs of the disease are detected in only one ear. When dogs and cats are affected by sarcoptic mange, notoedrosis or demodicosis, the drug is applied in a thin layer to the affected areas of the body, previously cleared of scabs, with a swab from the periphery to the center, covering borderline healthy skin up to 1 cm, in the doses indicated in the table. In severe cases of the disease, it is recommended to treat the animal in a comprehensive manner using pathogenetic and symptomatic medications. Treatment is carried out 3 – 5 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 first to one and then to the other half of the affected body surface. To prevent licking of the drug, animals are put on a cervical collar, a muzzle, or the jaws are closed with a loop of braid, which are removed 20-30 minutes after applying the drug. Do not apply the drug to wet and/or damaged skin, bathe the animal in open water, or wash it with detergent for 48 hours after treatment.

In case of an overdose of the drug, the animal may experience excessive salivation, muscle tremors, and vomiting. In this case, the drug is washed off with water and detergent and general measures are used to remove it from the body.

No specific effects of the drug during its first use and discontinuation were identified.

Violations of the drug use regimen should be avoided, as this may lead to a decrease in its effectiveness. If the next treatment is missed, it should be carried out as soon as possible, in the same dose.

When using the drug in accordance with these instructions, side effects and complications in animals, as a rule, are not observed. In some animals, with individual hypersensitivity and signs of skin irritation and allergic reactions, the drug should be washed off with water and detergent and, if necessary, desensitizing therapy should be carried out.

Dana Spot-on should not be used together with other insectoacaricidal drugs for treating animals.

The drug is not intended for use in food producing animals.

Instructions for use of the medicine

If your pet is tormented by ticks, fleas, lice eaters, other ectoparasites, or it is simply time for a preventive measure, use the Dana Spot-on product. How to do it?

1. First of all, you must open the package and take out the ampoule from the box, which, in fact, you will apply the product to the animal’s skin.
2. The tip of the removed ampoule needs to be cut off to open the way for the product to flow out.
3. Feel the animal's withers (the place on the back where the neck meets the back) and move the fur in different directions in this place so that a strip of skin is exposed to you.
4. Apply along the animal's spine directly to the skin. It can be a dot applique, or it can be a single strip.

“Dana Spot-on” for dogs: this is what the instructions look like

When applying the product, it is very important to follow the dosage recommended by veterinarians and manufacturers of the drug. Let's see what it will be like in the table below.

Table. Recommended dosage of the drug "Dana Spot-on"

Provided that such a need arises, the procedure can be repeated. However, according to safety precautions, it should be repeated no earlier than 30 days from the date of first application. Otherwise, undesirable side effects may develop, since the insectoacaricide is a poison and is just as dangerous for animals as it is for ectoparasites.

Please note: even if you kill all fleas or other parasites on your pet's body, their eggs and larvae may still survive in your pet's bedding.

Spray "Dana" is suitable for treating bedding

This means that it needs to be processed too. Dana spray is perfect for this. However, it doesn’t hurt to pre-wash the contaminated litter. In this case, protection against parasites will be provided for a period of approximately 2 months.

If you need to remove an ixodid tick from an animal’s body that has already attached itself to it, do this.

1. Apply a few drops of Dana to the site where it penetrates the skin and wait half an hour.
2. After half an hour, the tick will either fall off on its own, or you can unscrew it very carefully with tweezers. The most important thing to avoid is tearing off the head of the pest and getting it stuck in the skin.

If you are fighting demodex mites that have infected the ears of an animal, you must follow the instructions below.

1. Clean the ears with a special product or antiseptic to remove accumulated secretions, dirt and fallen hairs.
2. Place approximately 3-5 drops of the product into each ear.
3. Massage the dog's ear at the base on both sides, as if folding it in half.

Dana drops also help with demodicosis, otodectosis, etc.

Provided that the damage to microscopic mites has occurred in other areas of the body, apply the product to the affected areas and distribute it evenly. To avoid licking the drug, put a muzzle on the animal.

Contraindications and possible side effects

In our articles we often mention that there is no medical drug in the world that does not have side effects and contraindications. Of course, with a quality product they are reduced to a minimum, but they still occur. So, when using these insectoacaricidal drops, it is very important to take into account the following contraindications:

• the drug should not be used on pregnant dogs;
• sick and weak animals can react much more acutely to the drug, so hold off on flea treatment in this case;
• This medicine should not be used simultaneously with the treatment of a dog with an illness of infectious etiology;
• it is strictly forbidden to use animals whose age does not exceed 10 weeks from birth for treatment;
• the skin to be treated must be dry and free of any visible damage before applying the product;
• within 48 hours after applying the product, there is no need to bathe the animal in plain water, much less wash it with special cleansers.

Nausea is one of the possible side effects when using the drug.

Now let's turn our attention to potential side effects, which are rare, but still sometimes appear in particularly sensitive animals or those dogs whose owners incorrectly calculated the dosage of the drug.

1. Nausea and vomiting.
2. Excessive saliva production.
3. Muscle cramps.
4. Various allergies and skin irritations.

To ensure that your dog gets better without suffering one of the side effects, after the above-mentioned time has passed, give him a bath with shampoo. This way you will remove the remaining medicine from her, which no longer provides any benefit.

How to wash a dog?

Owners who are particularly sensitive to the issue can also reduce the level of intoxication in the animal’s body to a digestible level by giving it a large amount of water.

Please note: these medications are strictly not recommended for use with other drugs of similar action to avoid overdose. The manufacturer does not establish such prohibitions regarding pharmacological agents with other properties.
