Preventic Tick Dog Collar (Virbac)

Product Details

 INDICATIONS

• Controls ticks including Ixodes holocyclus (paralysis tick) and Ixodes cornatus (indigenous tick), Haemathysalis Iongicornis (bush tick), Boophilus microplus (cattle tick) Rhipicephalus sanguineus (brown dog tick) in dogs for up to 2 months.

• All dogs over 16 weeks of age – not safe for use on sick animals or lactating bitches

• 1 collar weighing 27.5g and 72cm in length

• 9% Amitraz 90g/kg

• Fit the collar to the dog so that 2 or 3 fingers can be easily inserted between the collar and the dog’s neck. The collar may irritate the dog’s skin if attached too tightly.
• Cut off and dispose of any excess length of collar.
• It will take up to 48 hours before the dog is protected (it takes 24-48 hours for the amitraz to migrate over the dog’s body).
• Once applied, do not remove Preventic (except while bathing or swimming as water will reduce the efficacy of the collar) since the continual dosage of Amitraz will be interrupted.
• Daily tick searches in paralysis tick areas are highly recommended for dogs.
• Preventic is recommended for dogs from 16 weeks of age.
• Amitraz is toxic if accidentally ingested. Immediate veterinary attention is required.
• Reapply a new Preventic collar every 8 weeks.
