• For three days after treatment, we strongly advise against allowing the dog near small children.

Veterinarians recommend using the substance no more than once a month. The drops are used in the same way, regardless of the type of parasite that has settled on the cat:

• liquid Inspector is applied to dry, undamaged skin located in the area of ​​the pet’s withers;
• The fur and undercoat are carefully pulled apart, and the entire contents of the pipette are squeezed out onto the skin.

It is necessary to drip the medicine carefully so that it does not get into the cat’s eyes and mouth. Inspector drops on the withers, when used correctly, begin to act almost immediately after treatment. The death of ticks and fleas is observed within 2 hours after disinfection of the pet. The cat cannot be petted or allowed outside for three hours; water treatments are allowed only after 4 days.

Prices for the drug

The drug "Inspector" is available for purchase in veterinary pharmacies, as well as in chain stores. Pricing is related to several factors: the specific place (region) of sale, the form of release. The cost of drugs ordered online includes the cost of delivery by courier service. But the selling price is lower than in retail.

The standard cost of the “Inspector” for fleas is:

• for animals up to 4 kilograms – up to 280 rubles per bottle;
• for well-fed cats heavier than 4 kilograms – up to 320 rubles.

Prices are average and may vary depending on the season and place of purchase.

How the drug works

The active substances of the drops affect the nervous system of parasites. They block receptors and also disrupt the transmission of nerve impulses throughout the body, which leads to death due to paralysis 8 hours after application. In addition to its effect on existing internal or external parasites, Inspector Total provides protection for the dog for 14 days from the date of treatment. Two protective drop methods:

1. Myoxidectin is absorbed into the animal’s circulatory system, so an attempt to bite leads to the death of the parasite.
2. Fipronil remains only on the skin and fur; it has a local (contact) preventive effect.

Inspector Total is fatal only to arthropods; the active substances are completely safe for dogs. According to laboratory studies, the drug does not affect the immune system and fetal development in pregnant bitches and does not cause irritation, itching or redness of the skin.

Please note that the product is toxic to fish and bees. For effective protection, it is recommended to alternate the Inspector spray with other drugs to avoid the development of pest resistance to toxins.

Security measures

“Inspector” is only as safe as can be said about a product containing insecticides. Agronomists know that when treating plants with mixtures designed to destroy garden pests, it is extremely important to prevent contact with pesticides.

The second point concerns the use of expired medications. It is unacceptable. The room in which the treatment is carried out must be well ventilated. It is better if it is forced ventilation. The use of medical disposable gloves is mandatory, because they protect the skin from contact with the drug. To avoid poisoning, you must use a respirator. Eating and smoking while treating a cat with flea medication are prohibited.

At the end of the procedure, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands with soapy water. The treated animal must not be washed, wet, ironed, or touched with fur. This restriction applies for a period of up to 5-7 days. Any contact with the cat at this time is prohibited (applies to children and other animals).

When processing, drops should not get on the mucous membranes or skin of the person performing the procedure. If this happens, immediately rinse the contact area with clean water. It is not recommended to treat fleas more often than once a month. Store “Inspector” in a dark and cool place where there is no food, protected from children and pets.

Indications for use

The inspector is appointed to control and routinely prevent dogs from parasites. They effectively cope with the following diseases:

• demodicosis;
• sarcoptic mange (subcutaneous mites);
• otodectosis (ear mites);
• acarosis;
• trichocephalosis;
• dirofilariasis;
• gastrointestinal helminths.

The drug helps cure up to 14 different parasitic diseases; before starting therapy, you should consult a specialist and undergo the necessary diagnostics. The advantage of the drops is that they cope with parasites at any stage of development, so after treatment the infected animal becomes safe for surrounding dogs and cats.

Instructions for use

Inspector Total is used by drip application to the skin. To process or treat, you need to carefully cut off the tip of the pipette and apply the entire volume of the medicine to the animal’s withers. Do not apply the drug to other parts of the body, as the dog may lick off the remaining drops. Recommendations for use:

• the skin should be dry and intact, without visible mechanical injuries;
• the procedure can be carried out no earlier than 48 hours after bathing or washing;
• The drug can be applied to the withers, neck or base of the skull;
• for large pets, Inspector can be applied to several areas for better absorption of the components of the composition (neck, area along the spinal column);
• It is allowed to use only a hermetically sealed pipette; the use of expired or defective product is not allowed.

For dogs of long-haired breeds, the treatment procedure is best carried out with an assistant - one person with a comb lifts the hair, and the second at this moment applies drops. This allows you to speed up the absorption process of the substance.

Side effects and contraindications

When used according to the instructions, Inspector Total K is as safe as possible for cats.

Contraindications

In addition to obvious indications for the use of the drug, the instructions contain restrictions regarding the use of drops. The list is extensive and includes several items. There is no point in listing them completely. Here are the main prohibitions:

Sometimes cats treated with Inspector for fleas experience slight itching in the area where the drug is administered. Or a minor reaction (irritation) to the skin surface. Further treatment depends on the severity of these manifestations: interrupt the treatment of the cat with “Inspector”, completely washing off the drug from the skin, or continue killing fleas. In both cases, consultation with a veterinarian is necessary.

Application procedure

Inspector drops for dogs, instructions for which are included in the package, should be applied according to the recommendations of a specialist.

• The drug is applied to dry, healthy skin. Most often it is dripped onto the withers, where the dog cannot lick the product. To ensure that the Inspector gets onto the skin without remaining on the fur, the hairs are pulled apart and the drops are applied directly to the skin.
• To treat small breed dogs, just drop a drop in one place on the withers. For large dogs, the dose should be distributed over 4-5 points.

After treatment, you should not wash your pet for at least a week. If the animal lives in an apartment, it must be treated.

Reviews from veterinarians

Ivan N.

“Inspector is a good prophylactic with fipronil in its composition. Suitable for both routine treatment against parasites and active treatment. It is important for owners to correctly calculate the dosage, because it depends on the weight of the pet.”

Nadezhda S.

“I often appoint an Inspector for seasonal antiparasitic treatment of dogs. The product is inexpensive and easy to use. Can be used for any breed."

Owner reviews

Julia K.

“In the summer we spend a lot of time in the forest, so we always treat our dog for ticks. We have been using Inspector drops for two seasons now. I’m satisfied with the cost and quality, I’ve never had a bite yet.”

Yuri T.

“Inspector drops for fleas and ticks were recommended by a veterinarian at a routine appointment. It’s convenient that the drug has a complex effect; you don’t need to wear an additional anti-parasite collar.”

Efficiency and effect of the drug

Drops for the treatment of fleas and worms "Inspector" during tests showed effectiveness against more than a dozen different parasites, including lice, lice, and round intestinal worms. The combination of fipronil and moxidectin disrupts the normal metabolism of “guests” and blocks the exchange of signals in their nervous system. Subsequently, muscle paralysis develops, leading to failure of breathing, feeding of parasites, and then death of individuals.

The effect of the drug extends not only to adult parasites, but also to juveniles, which in the future will emerge from larvae and eggs. This eliminates the danger of re-development of the disease after the destruction of sexually mature bloodsuckers and intestinal flukes.
