A spot is given for dogs, reviews from veterinarians. Using dana drops against ticks and fleas for dogs

When to use

All dosage forms of Dana are designed to combat ectoparasites. The drug is used for infection with the following types of arthropods and insects:

• fleas;
• lice;
• lice eaters;
• scabies mites, including otodectosis mites;
• ixodid ticks;
• demodectic mites.

The medicine is well suited for the prevention of entomosis and acarosis. It is especially recommended to use it during the period of activity of external parasites, that is, in the warm season.

Note! If there is a high risk of infection, for example, a strong spread of ticks, frequent walks in the forest, etc., it is recommended to combine the use of the drug in different dosage forms. When using drops, a collar, shampoo or spray will provide additional protection.

Features of application depend on the form of release of the antiparasitic agent.

Dana flea drops. Reviews

I got a puppy through a shelter and he ended up with fleas. I went to the doctor. He advised me to buy Dan drops. They helped quickly and efficiently. On the same day the puppy was freed from parasites.

Andrey, St. Petersburg

Dana is an effective flea remedy. We have a dog, a puppy and a cat at home. Thanks to the drug, they do not have parasites; in the warm season, none of them carry ticks. Our pets are fully protected.

Maria, Moscow

In the summer in our area, most dogs became victims of tick attacks. On the recommendation of friends, I purchased Dan drops. The dog easily withstood the procedure, and was pleasantly pleased with the result. After that, I used the drug several more times, and it was always effective.

Drops for external use

Dana drops for dogs are available in two versions:

• Spot-on;
• Ultra.

They differ from each other in composition. In regular Spot-on drops, the main active substance is fipronil. When an oily solution is applied to the skin of an animal, fipronil does not penetrate into the bloodstream, but accumulates in the fur, sebaceous glands, and epidermis. In this regard, it provides reliable protection. The effectiveness of this substance is achieved through its effect on the nervous system, in particular by blocking prescriptions. The solution is packaged in polymer pipettes of 1 or 1.5 ml, as well as bottles with a capacity of 15 ml. The latter option is well suited for owners who keep several animals. The bottle is enough for several treatments.

In Ultra drops, the effect of fipronil is supplemented by two more active components - thiamethoxam and pyriproxyfen. Since the composition includes several active components, the drug has a wide spectrum of action. The medication does an excellent job of destroying mature parasites, as well as their larvae and eggs. The solution is packaged in polymer disposable pipettes of various volumes - 0.4, 0.8, 1.6 and 3.2 ml. It is convenient to dose the medicine, since each pipette is designed for a certain weight.

Nuances of use

According to the instructions, Dan and Spot-on and Ultra drops should be applied to dogs in the withers area. For large pets, drops can be applied along the spine, but so that the animal cannot lick it off. Applying drops is allowed only to dry and undamaged skin.

The dosage depends on the version of the drug and the weight of the animal. If Dana Ultra is used, the dose for one treatment is calculated as follows:

• up to 5 kg – 0.4 ml;
• 5-10 kg – 0.8 ml;
• 10-20 kg – 1.6 ml;
• 20-40 kg – 3.2 ml.

Select pipettes of suitable volume. For animals weighing more than 40 kg, several pipettes must be combined.

Important! Usually the packaging indicates how much weight the pipette is designed for. When purchasing medicine, pay attention to this.

When using Dana Spot-on drops, the dosage is calculated as follows:

• 2-10 kg – 1.5 ml;
• 10-20 kg – 3 ml;
• 20-40 – 4.5 ml;
• more than 40 kg – 6 ml.

The medicine is applied when parasites are detected. To prevent infection, preventive treatment should be carried out on average once every 1 month. For otodectosis, 3-6 drops are instilled into the ear. If necessary, the treatment is repeated after 5-7 days.

Reviews about “Dana Spot On (drops) for dogs and cats”:

dropped off a pregnant cat. I was afraid to treat for fleas. Now her kitten is 3.5 months old. I bought these drops. I do not know what to do. Can it be processed or not? After all, she still feeds him and constantly licks him?

We picked up a puppy on the street, there were tons of lice eaters. They didn’t know his exact age, but they took a risk because it was painful to watch them torture him. We bought Dana Spot and added three drops because we weren’t sure that he was 2.5 months old. A day later the puppy is clean and free of lice eaters and their larvae. The puppy's weight during treatment was 1 kg 200 g. 10 days passed and he gained 800 g. He became more active and eats better.

We give these drops to the cat. In the summer we let him out into the street, and so he comes back with “guests” on the back of his neck. Last year we tried Dana Ultra for the first time, after a couple of days it stopped itching and didn’t start again. It helped, so now we’re starting to drip again - it’s the season.

I spent several days removing ticks from my golden retriever. I realized that the season has begun. Yesterday I washed him, went to the pet pharmacy, the seller advised me to take Dana instead of Bars, as they had taken before. I listened and took Dana Spot-ON. I started dripping and went for a walk. It so happened that he was walking without a leash and managed to swim in the river. We walked for about 2.5. When we came home, I immediately realized that something was wrong. It was as if he wanted something. She gave me something to eat and drink and went to bed, then I heard that he was running. I'm leaving. And his hind legs tremble and twitch at intervals of a second or two. And he looks at himself, doesn’t understand why, runs around, then lies down and scratches his pads. I know that this can happen with psychological neurosis in a dog. But I didn’t scold him, so it couldn’t be neurosis. I thought it was from ticks. I immediately called the clinic, they told me to take his temperature and check if he was eating. If he eats and the temperature is good, then it is an allergy and give him a pill. I measured it, the temperature is good. She gave me an allergy pill. After a while he was just scratching them. Then he fell asleep, and in the morning he was the same as always. It's good that everything worked out. But I still don’t know whether I was allergic to Dan SPOT-ON drops or to something in that river.

We bought Dana Spot-on drops for cats, they are easy and simple to apply and do not cause concern to the animal. They are applied so that the cat cannot lick them off (on the back of the neck) and reliably protect against fleas and ticks. In addition, the drops can be used directly to remove a tick that has already attached itself. We had this happen at the very beginning, before using drops. Everything is solved by applying a couple of drops of the product to the tick itself and after 20 minutes it falls off. After this, we treat the cat regularly and there are no problems.

I periodically treat my dog ​​with Dana Ultra drops, the animal has never had any anxiety as they write here, probably because there are no fleas, because we observe the treatment interval and apply it according to the instructions.

As far as I know, fipronil is now in the composition, where does diazinon come from? We have been buying it for dogs and cats for the second season, the composition is fipronil everywhere. In terms of action, no complaints. Non-toxic, well tolerated by everyone, no allergies. Our male dog does not carry ticks, which is very important for me - two years ago Mikheya’s mother died from piroplasmosis, the children suffered very hard, and so did we. Therefore, we selected and double-checked them very carefully. They chose a domestic manufacturer, since imported ones are now incredibly expensive, and, as history has shown, they fail with sad results. But here the price tag is good, and the effect is there. The cats have no fleas, no ticks either, but they are not particularly scary for them; we treat them once every two months. Male - once a month.

We used these drops 2 days before leaving for the dacha, the cat didn’t seem to notice them, and if he did notice, he didn’t show it. I can say that Dana Spot works because our Vasily walks wherever he wants, but not once during these 2 summer months have I noticed any fleas or ticks on him, although they are quite active this year.

We also used these drops, the same red tube, only the name was not spot-on, but “dana ultra neo”. I can say that I was very pleased. The fleas actually came out within a few hours, literally, without any smell, the cat was clearly comfortable. And for the next months we no longer worried about fleas.

Compound:

As active ingredients, Dana Spot-on for dogs and puppies up to 10 kg in 1 ml contains: fipronil - 50 mg and excipients up to 1 ml.

Description:

Dana Spot-On for dogs and puppies weighing up to 10 kg are drops on the withers for the prevention and control of fleas, lice, lice and other insects.

A few facts about Dan Spot-On drops in numbers:

It takes 2 hours for the drug to take effect;

acts against 60 species of fleas that carry 25 types of diseases.

Dana Spot-On drops are not washed off with water and the animal can be bathed without losing effective protection.

The package contains 3 pipettes of 1.5 ml each. Convenient packaging of the drug allows you to correctly calculate the dosage.

This point that the product is not washed off with water also won me over, because as soon as it gets warmer, I’m sure the dog will start diving into the lake for ducks and similar living creatures.

In general, for our dog’s weight of 8 kg, one pipette was enough, it turned out to be very convenient to calculate the dose. And considering that there are 3 pipettes in the package, and the price of the package is less than 200 rubles, which is undoubtedly very nice.

So, I applied the drops, the dog, to my joy, did not show any dissatisfaction or discomfort, after a while the fur dried out and the dog’s appearance became the same as before. Within a day, we calmly went for a walk in the forest, the dog was like a groovy climber through the bushes, and tried to stick his nose everywhere, I, of course, was a little worried, what if someone would still cling to it. Coming out of the forest, the first thing I did was carefully examine it all - it was clean. Then I examined it like this for another week, and then stopped, since no one encroached even once, in a month I will now do the re-treatment, as the instructions say.

Fleas constantly torment cats with their presence and annoy cats with painful bites. Small insects threaten to invade humans. And this situation is even more unpleasant. To prevent this from happening, pet owners try in every possible way to protect them from pests and use various means. A lot of them. Veterinary pharmacies can offer shampoo, tablets, collars, spray and drops. The latter are considered the most convenient to use and effective.

For ease of application, a 1.5 ml pipette is included. Animals up to 3 kg in weight require 10 drops. Above is the entire dropper. There are 3 of them in a package.

It is necessary to follow some rules, since the work is carried out with insecticides.

Video instructions for using drops on the withers:

Spray

Dana Ultra in the form of a spray contains fipronil and cyfluthrin. In this regard, the drug is successfully used not only for the treatment and prevention of entomosis in dogs, but also to protect animals from ticks and flying insects (mosquitoes, flies, etc.). The product is packaged in bottles equipped with spray heads, so it is convenient to use.

How to apply

If Dana spray is used for prevention or treatment, the actions are performed in the following sequence:

1. Shake the bottle.
2. Spray the product evenly over the entire body of the animal. Keep the spray head at a distance of 20-25 cm from your pet.
3. If the hair is long, it should be lifted with your hand so that the medicinal solution penetrates the skin.

For 1 kg of weight you need 2-4 ml of spray. Calculating the dose is easy - one press is equal to 0.5 ml. Processing must be carried out outdoors. If this is not possible, be sure to open the vents or windows, and after completing the procedure, check the room thoroughly.

Note! Until the solution dries, do not let the animal lick it off. To do this, use a cervical collar, muzzle or braid.

Undesirable consequences

The dosage is chosen so that it turns out and does not have a negative effect on animals. Even if accidentally licked, there is no danger to health.

However, sensitive cats may experience reactions such as:

1. Lethargy;
2. Loss of appetite;
3. Nausea;
4. Vomiting;
5. Increased salivation;
6. Trembling all over the body;
7. Skin redness, itching, irritation.

Basically, all side effects go away on their own after some time. If the condition continues to worsen, the help of a veterinarian will be required. Manufacturers claim that Dan contains substances that prevent inflammation and allergic reactions.

Collars

Collars are made in the form of a polymer tape. It is equipped with a convenient fastener. The polymer tape contains the following active components:

• fipronil;
• ivermectin;
• pyriproxyfen.

The manufacturer produces three types of collars:

• 40 cm – for cats, puppies and small breeds;
• 65 cm – for medium breed dogs;
• 80 cm – for large pets.

The main feature of collars is that they provide protection against external parasites and prevent infection by roundworms. For greater effectiveness, Dan collars are recommended to be combined with spray or drops.

Features of application

After unpacking, the polymer tape must be put on the animal like this. Do not tighten the collar too much; there should be a free space of 1-1.5 cm. Excess tape must be cut off so that there is no overdose. On average, the product lasts for 3 months, then you need to replace the collar with a new one.

If the animal has dirty and matted fur, it is recommended that you first give it a good bath and tidy it up. For severe flea or lice infestations, use a medicated shampoo. When carrying out water procedures, the collar must be removed.

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.

Shampoo

The main active ingredient in the shampoo is permethrin. Dana shampoo has the following effects:

• destroys fleas, ticks and other insects;
• eliminates unpleasant odor;
• promotes wound healing;
• relieves the animal from itching and other unpleasant symptoms;
• improves the condition of the coat (after use, the coat acquires a healthy shine).

Bathing procedure

Use Dana shampoo for dogs as follows:

1. First, moisturize the animal's skin.
2. Apply shampoo, maintaining a dosage of 0.5-1 ml per 1 kg of weight.
3. Lather the product and lightly rub into the epidermis.
4. After 5 minutes, rinse thoroughly with warm water.
5. Dry and comb the coat.

After bathing, you can additionally use drops or other dosage forms of Dan to ensure reliable protection of the animal from insects.

Contraindications and side effects

According to the instructions for use, all dosage forms of Dana should not be used for dogs in the following cases:

• for infectious diseases;
• when exhausted;
• during pregnancy;
• during lactation.

Also, do not use the drug for puppies under 12 weeks of age. The medicine is also contraindicated in case of intolerance to the components.

Animals usually tolerate the drug well, but sometimes the following side effects may occur:

• increased salivation;
• vomit;
• redness and irritation of the skin;
• depressed state;
• itching;
• lack of appetite.

Similar symptoms can also occur with an overdose. If after treatment with the drug the animal feels unwell, it needs to be bathed. If a collar was used, it should be removed first.

Owner reviews

Svetlana, owner of a German shepherd and a cat:

“I’ve been using Dan for my animals for two years now. I treat the dog with drops, and I buy collars for the cat. All last summer the animals had no fleas or ticks. This year everything is fine too. I'm satisfied with the result."

Maria, owner of the Rhodesian Ridgeback:

“Usually I didn’t notice insects on the dog, so I didn’t use any special products. But when after the walk we counted 19 ticks, we went straight to the veterinary pharmacy. We were advised to use Dana spray. We managed to get rid of parasites after the first treatment. Now we use a spray for prevention.”

Olga, owner of the Japanese Chin:

“In the summer, our dog moves to the dacha with us. We didn’t want to poison the animal with toxic drugs, so we decided to use Dana shampoo. No fleas were noticed, but ticks were still attached, so I also had to buy an expensive collar. After bathing, the wool becomes soft and acquires a pleasant aroma.”
