Feature of the use of drops from ticks Bars, produced for dogs

Any dog can become infected with fleas or ticks, as these insects can lie in wait for it everywhere and at any time - when it walks, comes into contact with other dogs and other animals, and even communicates with people. To remove parasites, special preparations are used, for example, Bars drops for dogs from fleas. The owners of these four-legged animals will be interested in learning about the composition of the drug, its benefits, in what doses it should be applied and other equally important information.

Composition and principle of operation

The drops contain two active ingredients:

Permethrin
Pyrethroid.

Both are effective against fleas, ticks, lice and lice. The principle of action is based somewhat differently than conventional drugs. These drops, when applied to the hairline of an animal, penetrate into the sebaceous glands and accumulate there. When the parasite bites the dog and drinks the blood, substances from the sebaceous glands enter the bloodstream together into the insect and poison it.

The dose recommended for application is small, as a result of which the dog will not be poisoned, and the parasite will die. The action of the drops lasts up to 2 months, which means that when a new colony of parasites is removed from those eggs that remain on the scalp, the new parasites will also die, but they will not have time to lay eggs.

Living parasites from the hair of an animal get onto its bedding. If the treated dog lies on it again, then re-infection is possible, since the parasites are very tenacious and multiply well

Therefore, handling the litter is also important with pets. If the dog lives in the house and lies where he wants, then the treatment should be carried out in all places, especially where there is soft upholstery.

Negative points

Like any other product, Bars Forte drops have not only advantages, but also disadvantages. And this once again confirms the fact that there are no universal remedies, and this drug was no exception to the rule, despite the large number of positive reviews about it. So, what does not suit the owners of pets in Bars Forte drops?

First, it is a short duration of the drug. It is within 1-2 months. As you can see, the definition of "small" in this regard is a relative concept.

Secondly, a large consumption of the drug for dogs of large breeds. At a time when only one ampoule is enough for an animal weighing up to 10 kilograms, with a greater weight, their number will proportionally increase.

Thirdly, in some cases, the remedy turned out to be ineffective in the fight against ticks. Moreover, such situations are not isolated.

Another point that some owners do not like is the specific smell of the drug. Although in most cases it is still recognized as neutral and not causing any particular inconvenience.

Be that as it may, the number of advantages far exceeds the number of disadvantages. This means that the product has deservedly received recognition among many animal owners and is considered one of the best means for fighting insects and ticks.

By the way, the manufacturer produces a separate type of Bars Forte drops for cats. This means that the drug is universal.

Testimonials

Snezhanna, Vladivostok

“About twice a year I treat my dog with Bars drops. Since we constantly walk with her, fleas appear steadily in spring and autumn. "Bars" also helps well against ticks. Several times I did not have time to process my pet and then pulled out these bloodsuckers with tweezers. It's good that they weren't infected, nothing happened. Therefore, it is better to be on the safe side. "

Oleg, Irkutsk

“Be sure to observe the dosage! Somehow I didn’t find a drop for the required weight category and took “Bars” from fleas for larger dogs. Then my bulldog was sleepy for about a week and ate poorly.

Mikhail, Moscow

“I am a veterinarian by profession and I know very well that the condition of the ears directly affects the health and mood of the animal. Chronic inflammation in the ear canal can lead to inflammatory processes in the middle and inner ear, which is accompanied by neurological pathologies and disorders of the vestibular apparatus.Both ticks and pathogenic fungi and bacteria can lead to inflammation. In the fight against them, the same means help as for the extermination of fleas and ticks on the skin. In particular, Bars is doing well. Put the correct dosage in your ears, and within a few days there will be no ticks. "

Maria, Barnaul

“I have been using this drug for a long time to protect my dog from parasites. Once I tried an imported product. Within a week, the dog had fleas. I barely got rid of them. Only later I found out from the veterinarian that foreign medicines are less concentrated and therefore not as effective. Of course, Bars causes allergies in some people, but it suits my dog. So everything is individual. "

Indications for use

This medicine is specially designed to combat only blood-sucking insects, therefore, you do not need to worry about the fact that this remedy can harm directly the animal or their owners.
When is it indicated to use drops? Ticks and fleas multiply quite quickly, therefore, during any signs of the presence of adults or larvae of these parasites, Bars insecticidal drops for cats should be used. Finding out the presence of fleas is quite simple:

when petting a cat against the fur, you can see one or more adult fleas of black or dark brown color;
in the undercoat of the animal, flea black excrement can be identified;
the cat often licks or itches, bites a little on the skin and coat, shakes its head.

Ticks are more difficult to identify immediately, but after a certain time on the animal's body, you can determine their white waste products, which cause nervousness and itching in a cat.

It is advisable to process the animal immediately, since these parasites cause not only discomfort, but also carry serious diseases. Dermatitis, helminthiasis, anemia, neuroses, paralysis - these are all their merits. Therefore, drops are used for prophylaxis, in the event of an attack by ectoparasites and during the treatment of parasitic diseases (notoedrosis, sarcoptic mange, otodectosis and others), which is caused by arthropods.

Drops Bars for cats composition and release forms of the drug

The release of an insecticidal acaricidal agent is carried out in the form of special pipettes designed for a certain weight of the animal. The main active ingredient of the insecticide is fipronil. It is a low-toxic element that effectively destroys parasites.

The mechanism of action of fipronil is aimed at blocking specific receptors of ticks and fleas, thereby disrupting the conduction in the nerve synapses of parasites, leading to convulsions and paralysis of insects, causing their death. Drops "Bars" for cats also have a number of auxiliary components in the composition that complement the action of fipronil, providing reliable protection against ectoparasites:

diflubenzuron;
dicarboximide;
polyvinylpyrrolidone;
isopropyl alcohol;
polyethylene glycol 400;
twin-80.

Diflubenzuron is a pesticide that works to block the chitinous membrane. It has a larvicidal and ovocidal effect, penetrating flea eggs and preventing larvae from leaving the shell. The substance is not able to accumulate in the body of the animal, but has a local weak irritant effect.

Dicarboximide enhances the properties of other components. In addition, dicarboximide in flea drops is a detoxifier that removes toxic substances from flea bites. As a result of exposure to a component of the drug, toxic substances are converted into neutral, non-hazardous to the body.

Analogs

There are many different analogues of the Bars Forte preparation, consider the most famous of them.

Barrier Super

Inexpensive drops that fight fleas and ticks well.Designed specifically for puppies. The active ingredient is fipronil. In addition to it, auxiliary components are included: isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, glycerin. The effect lasts up to two months after application. The product is manufactured in Russia. Price - 26-30 rubles. for one pipette.

Celandine Junior

A drug for ticks, fleas and lice, which can be used from two months of age. The main active ingredients are fipronil and permethrin. Company-, Russia. Price - 180-200 rubles. per package (3 pipettes).

Collars "Bars" for ticks

Collars are available in different lengths, namely 35, 50, 80 cm for small, medium and large breeds. They are designed to protect the animal from fleas and ticks. The collars are impregnated with fipronil and other auxiliary components. The active substance fipronil accumulates in the epidermis, sebaceous glands, follicles, then secreted with the secretions of the glands on the surface of the skin, thereby providing an antiparasitic and deterrent effect, which persists with constant wearing of the collar for 4 months. The substance, entering the insect's body, leads to paralysis, as a result, the blood-sucking parasite dies before it can bite the dog.

Using

The tick collar is put on so that there is a space of 1-1.5 cm between it and the neck, after which the collar is fixed, and the excess part is cut off to avoid poisoning the pet.

Limitations

Collars "Bars" are contraindicated for pregnant and lactating bitches, sick and weakened animals, as well as puppies under two months of age.
The collar must not be used concurrently with other drugs of a similar effect, for example, with drops or spray, otherwise allergic reactions or poisoning of the animal are possible. However, before using the collar, it is permissible to wash the dog with Bars insecticidal shampoo or treat the bedding with Bars or Bars Forte spray.
Some dogs may have an intolerance to fipronil or other ingredients, which can lead to an allergic reaction.

The price of collars depends on their length, so a 35 cm collar costs 118 rubles, 50 cm - 150 rubles, and 80 cm - 160 rubles.

Collar reviews "Bars"

Reviews of collars are mixed. Someone uses it in conjunction with other means, so it is impossible to determine its effectiveness, someone claims that drops and spray do better, but most dog breeders agree that the collar perfectly protects against fleas. According to the results of studies, when using collars, attached ticks were still found in dogs, but they were inactive and easily separated from the skin. It is advisable to use the collar in places with the lowest concentration of ticks for small and medium-sized dogs. For larger dogs, additional protection may be required.

Composition of the medicinal product

The unique effect of each of the types of drops is due to its composition, which in the representatives of the entire line differs only in the concentration of active substances. They are presented:

Diflubenzuron. It is part of systemic insecticides as a chitin-destroying agent. Under its influence, the parasite loses the opportunity to move to a new stage of development: the process of molting or the release of larvae from the eggs is blocked.
Fipronil. Systemic insecticide active against an adult. Under its influence, blood-sucking nerve cells lose their ability to transmit impulses, which leads to paralysis with the subsequent death of ticks and fleas.
Dicarboximide. It is a synergistic substance. It is used to weaken the defenses in the body of parasites, which increases the effectiveness of fipronil and dicarboximide.

Leopard against ticks and fleas, in addition to the three main components, contains an additional set of synergistic agents. The drops contribute to the rapid extinction of the parasite population.But the peculiarity of the composition often makes it poorly tolerated for animals weakened after surgery or illness.

Bars Forte does not contain dicarboximide, and the concentration of diflubenzuron is slightly higher. The preparation uses citronella oil, which is capable of scaring off parasites for some time after treatment. The active ingredients destroy the population of fleas, ticks and other parasites without harming the animal.

The instruction for ear drops Bars indicates the content of prednisolone, glycerin and diazinone in them. Thanks to the perfectly balanced concentration of each substance, it is possible to quickly get rid of itching, swelling, inflammation and destroy eggs, larvae and adult ticks.

Bars means

Many drugs are produced under this brand: spray, drops, shampoo, collars.

Drops

Most often used in the treatment and prevention of ticks and fleas. It is produced in small dropper pipettes, with a volume of 1.4 ml, 3-4 pcs per package. The active ingredient is fipronil.

Contraindications and dosage

In drops "Bars" the dose of the pesticide is calculated in such a way that, when used in the recommended doses, it does not pose any danger to humans and animals. For this reason, the drug extremely rarely causes side effects, and it is almost impossible to seriously poison them (the dose of fipronil, which can cause death in humans and even cats, is so high in comparison with that contained in the Bars drops that it is not possible to talk about this probability at all have to).

However, there is a possibility of hypersensitivity and individual intolerance. If you notice signs of allergy in your cat, the applied substance should be washed off immediately with soapy water. If the reaction is severe, the animal should be shown to the veterinarian, who will prescribe antihistamines and other medications to relieve painful symptoms.

Direct contraindications for the use of the drug, in addition to allergies, are:

age up to 8 weeks (some veterinarians advise to postpone the drops until the kitten reaches 10 weeks of age);
cats;
lactation period;
the presence of an acute disease in an animal, especially an infectious one, up to complete recovery, as well as a weakened immune system;
perforation of the tympanic membrane - in the case of instillation of the drug in the ears.

The process of treating an animal

An important stage of treatment is clearly described in the instructions for use. A special preparation with a low dosage of active ingredients has been created for young pets.

Removal and removal of parasitic insects

Initially, the animal is weighed and the required amount of medication is calculated. You need to be careful about your own protection if there are wounds and other skin injuries on your hands. To warn the skin of the hands from the product, wear rubber gloves. The procedure is carried out indoors, excluding the ingress of the drug on food, kitchen utensils and the skin of other residents.

The optimal dosage of the Bars preparation depends on the weight of the animal.

It is recommended that you do not handle the animal alone. The pet's head is fixed and drops are applied to the area inaccessible for licking. The area is rubbed a little and the personal places of the animal are treated (sunbed, rug, etc.). Wash your hands with soap and water. The procedure is resumed in a month.

The animals treated with the drug are not immune from the suction of ixodid ticks, since the effect of the drops remains. If an inflated tick is seen on a cat or dog, urgent action is needed. To do this, 1 drop of Bars is applied to the bloodsucker and wait half an hour. During this time, the parasite will fall off on its own. If this does not happen, you need to remove the tick with tweezers using your own twisting movements.

The parasite is taken to the laboratory to be tested for infectiousness, otherwise it must be scalded with boiling water or burned. The bitten animal is monitored and, if necessary, contact the veterinary office. If the treatment of the animal has occurred recently and its effectiveness has not manifested itself, it is necessary to replace the agent.

Getting rid of ear scabies

If a cat or dog shakes its head, scratches its ears, a black plaque is visible on the auricle - these are signs of infection with otodectosis. From the auricles and the auditory canal, sulfur, purulent discharge are removed in advance and 4-6 drops of the drug are instilled into each ear canal. To distribute the drops evenly, fold the ear along and massage the base.

The remainder of the drug in the pipette is applied to the skin between the shoulder blades.If the case is neglected and otitis media has developed, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed, repeating the Bars treatment in a week. Drops are injected into both ears, to avoid cross contamination. In addition to the suffering of the animal from constantly disturbing itching, this condition is dangerously painful inflammation of the middle ear, rupture of the ear drum and deafness.
It is interesting: drops in the ears for cats from ticks.

Ear scabies causes discomfort to the animal, which forces it to scratch the ear before the formation of wounds, and this is fraught with the introduction of infection

Prevention for kittens and puppies

For young offspring, manufacturers of Bars drops have released a line of products under the Bars Forte brand. The drug has a low concentration of active fipronil. Having specified the weight and age of the pet, they begin to take protective measures. Breaking off the tip of the pipette, apply the specified number of drops to the withers and gently massage.

Fleas and ticks are a serious problem for animals. A large line of the Bars series offers the consumer drops, ointments and sprays (there are no tablets). The drugs are affordable and readily available. The Bars remedy successfully combines the properties of the main substances, which improves the protective effect against all types of parasites.

Operating principle

The antiparasitic drug for four-legged pets "Bars" in drops is very comfortable to use. As required by the instructions, three drops of the product are enough to carry out the preventive procedure.
When in contact with the dog's skin, drops are absorbed through the surface capillaries by the animal's body. After that, the drug spreads with the blood flow throughout the pet's body, getting into all the subcutaneous vessels. Thus, when the parasite bites the dog's skin, the insecticide is transmitted through the bloodstream. This, in turn, leads to the death of the pest, causing first disturbances in the nervous system, and then paralysis.

The smell of the active substance permethrin, which contains insectoacaricidal drops for pets "Bars", remains in the body of the animal for a rather long period.

Description of the drug

Today, a wide range of domestic products of various types under the Bars brand is presented on the market, they are designed to destroy various types of parasites and protect pets from them. Among a large number of diverse products, there are drops for combating fleas and ticks, they are in great demand and consistently confirm their high level of effectiveness.
Drops Bars can be used both as a means to completely get rid of existing parasites, and as a drug for taking preventive measures to minimize the likelihood of insects in pets.

Externally, the drug is a liquid with an oily structure and a specific yellow tint. It is sold in bottles with a volume of 1 or 1.4 ml., The container is equipped with a special pipette, which facilitates the use of this antiparasitic agent.

This product is intended for cats and dogs, it is equally safe and effective for both types of pets. You can buy the drug in pharmacies or specialized stores that sell products for pets.

Characteristics of Bars drops

This is a veterinary insecticidal and acaricidal agent. It is intended for the prevention and treatment of entomoses in pets. Its main active ingredient is a synthetic substance permethrin, auxiliary - isopropyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polyethylene glycol.

Bars drops look like an oily transparent liquid. It is yellowish and has a specific odor. The manufacturer packs the drug into dropper pipettes with a volume of 1.0 and 1.4 ml.

Permethrin as the main active component of drops has a contact and systemic effect on ectoparasites: lice, fleas, lice, sarcoptoid and ixodid ticks parasitizing on dogs. The period of action of insecticidal drops after a single treatment of the animal is up to 60 days. Further processing must be repeated.

The instruction informs dog owners that this drug, according to the degree of its effect on the body, is classified as moderately hazardous. In recommended doses, it does not produce a sensitizing and toxic effect. If it gets into the eyes of an animal or a person, the drops cause irritation. Therefore, they must be applied carefully, and in case of accidental contact with mucous membranes, immediately rinse off with plenty of water.

It is recommended to store the veterinary product in its original packaging, in a dry place, at temperatures up to 25 ° C, for 24 months. After this period, it is prohibited to use drops.

Spray "Bars Forte"

The spray, which is based on the active ingredient fipronil, is designed to protect against fleas and ticks. The principle of action is no different from the previous tool. A single use is enough for 1 month, after which it needs to be reapplied to the dog's body.

The application rules are the same as for the Bars spray, but the dosage is 0.5–1.0 ml per 1 kg of animal weight or 1-2 clicks (zilch). You can apply "Bars Forte" to the tick - 1 press, after 20-30 minutes of waiting, if the tick does not crawl out on its own, it must be carefully pulled out of the skin. You cannot bathe your dog 2 days before and after treatment.

In case of an allergic reaction to the components, the substance is washed off the body of the animal with water.

The spray is available in 100 and 200 ml bottles. The cost of the bottle is 190-240 rubles, depending on the volume.

Testimonials

The disadvantage of the Bars Forte spray is an unpleasant specific odor, but overall the effectiveness of the spray is high. Dog breeders note the convenience of using the bottle, as well as a high degree of protection. Dog owners have no complaints about the protective effect of the spray.

Operating principle

Different components that make up the drops affect parasites in their own way. For example, the insecticide fipronil attacks the nervous system of insects. In this case, impulses are blocked, which provokes the development of paralysis. As a result, the insect dies. The main component (fipronil) also affects GABA-dependent receptors.

Drops are applied to the skin, but the drug is not absorbed by the circulatory system, which makes it relatively safe for the pet. The insecticide accumulates in the sebaceous glands. The insect dies on contact with the poison. This occurs when trying to reach the blood vessels with the proboscis and as a result of physical contact with the insecticide. The poison begins to destroy the chitinous integuments and at the same time acts from the outside. Part of the poison enters the body of the parasite during a meal.

Blood-sucking insects are sensitive to the smell of the insecticide fipronil. If for a person the poison is almost imperceptible, then the smell acts annoyingly on fleas. For this reason, insects bypass animals treated with Bars insecticide-acaricidal drops. As a result, the drug can be used not only for treatment, but also for prevention. The Bars forte product contains an insect growth regulator. This means that after treatment, parasites stop developing, chitinous integuments are no longer formed. Thanks to this feature, the reproduction process of pests stops.

The drug is used against lice, lice, fleas, ixodid ticks. If the badger tolerates insecticides well, including fipronil, there will be no side effects. Given that the drug is not absorbed by the circulatory system, poisoning is excluded. Intoxication of the animal's body is possible only if the insecticide has entered the digestive system.

Pharmacological properties

Drops "Bars" are insecticidal and acaricidal. This means it provides protection against harmful insects and mites.

Did you know? In all my life
each individual flea can bite up to a hundred times, and a female insect can also lay up to five hundred eggs.
Fipronil blocks certain cellular receptors in the body of the parasite living on the skin of the animal, as a result of which the transmission of nerve impulses is disrupted, the insect is paralyzed and dies. It takes about eight hours from the moment the parasite comes into contact with the drug until its death.

Diflubenzuron in the preparation acts as a growth inhibitor. It suppresses the production of a substance that makes up the outer cover of insects, which disrupts the processes of molting, pupation, and egg-laying. In addition, the drug acts on the larvae and cocoons themselves, inhibiting their growth and killing "in the bud", preventing the replenishment of the parasite population on the cat's skin.

Dicarboximide is designed to enhance the activity of the above two components and ensure their mutual enhancement (synergy). In addition, the substance prevents the decomposition of the toxic properties of the drug, prolonging its killing effect for parasites.

When drops are applied to the skin of an animal, they are gradually distributed over the entire surface of the body in an even layer, and also accumulate in the sebaceous glands. The drug is not absorbed into the bloodstream, and, therefore, the toxins included in its composition do not act on the cat itself.

The peculiarity of the Bars drops is that they act on the parasite in two ways - internal (through the intestines) and external (through touch). Thus, in itself, the ingress of an insect on the skin of an animal treated with the drug causes poisoning in the parasite, but, in addition, fipronil enters the body of the pest and finishes it off from the inside, leaving not the slightest chance of salvation.

The effectiveness of the drug lasts for one to two months for fleas, for ticks - no more than a month. Bars Forte drops last approximately one and a half times longer.

Frontline and Stronghold are also used to combat parasites that attack cats.

Feedback:
“We have tried a lot of flea remedies, because my husband constantly takes dogs to hunt and in all sorts of holes they gain this nasty kilograms. At home, parasites are pouring down from them. They poisoned with Barsik, Hearts, Frontline. Barsik is good for the price, but does not last long. The flea displays immediately, but new ones appear on the dog in a week, even without hunting. But Front Line protects against parasites for almost a month. True, if a hunt happens, not a single drug helps: such monsters live in fox holes that they need this synthetic chemistry for one tooth. "
Maria, Svatovo

pharmachologic effect

The medication belongs to insectoacaricidal drugs. It is active for various phases of development of ectoparasites that inhabit dogs. The action of fipronil lies in its ability to disrupt the work of nerve impulses and block the receptors of parasites, these factors lead to paralysis and rapid death of insects.

In turn, diflubenzuron disrupts the development of ectoparasites even at the stage of egg appearance, which leads to the termination of their reproduction and death.

The drug is only partially absorbed into the puppy's bloodstream, most of it remains in the sebaceous glands and hair follicles, so it poses no danger to the pet. According to GOST, Bars Forte belongs to the third hazard class.

The main active component of Bars drops is fipronil, which belongs to the phenylpyrazole group. It is a powerful insecticide that kills skin parasites on pets. In addition to the veterinary field, fipronil-based products are used to combat insects in everyday life, medicine and agriculture.
Fipronil is characterized by long-term residual exposure and an increased degree of stability. This substance is resistant to repeated washings, does not decompose when exposed to sunlight. Moreover, even the decay products of fipronil have insecticidal properties.

Structure

The composition of the drug allows it to be classified as a substance of the third degree of danger, that is, it is considered a low-toxic agent, which, when used correctly, does not pose a threat to the life and health of animals or people. The main components responsible for high efficiency and safety are:

Permethrin is the main active ingredient that is present in the drops of the old release. In addition to this drug, it is also used as an additive in many products related to household household chemicals, its destructive effect on various insects has been known for a long time. Despite its toxicity, permethrin has a unique property - it is a deadly threat to fleas and ticks, but at the same time it is safe for warm-blooded animals, which are absolutely immune to it when used correctly.
Fipronil, a synthetic insecticide, has replaced permethrin in all drops from new batches. It is less toxic, but at the same time it also effectively destroys any types of insects; this component has long been used by specialists in agriculture and veterinary medicine due to its high-quality insecticidal acaricidal effect. Cats are more sensitive to this substance than dogs, but despite this, it is actually harmless to all animal species.Side effects or allergic reactions occur only in rare and exceptional cases; fipronil cannot cause severe poisoning.
A number of auxiliary components that repel insects. They are various types of natural essential oils.

Dosage for dogs

Application procedure Animals are treated in the open air or in a well-ventilated room with open windows (vents), away from open fire, after removing the cages with decorative birds from the room and covering the aquariums with fish. To prevent licking of the drug, the animal is put on a muzzle, a neck collar, or the jaws are fixed with a loop of braid, which are removed after the skin and hair is completely dry. Before use, shake the bottle with the drug and, holding it vertically, press the spray head, directing the aerosol torch onto the surface to be treated from a distance of 20-25 cm.To kill insects and prevent attacks on animals, ixodid ticks spray the entire body of the animal against hair growth, slightly moisturizing the coat (in animals of long-haired breeds, the coat is lifted by hand). The dose of the drug, depending on the condition of the coat, is 0.5-1 ml per 1 kg of animal weight, which is achieved, respectively, by one or two pressing on the spray head of the bottle. Covering the eyes of the animal, the auricles and chest are treated, with fingertips (with a glove) the drug is lightly rubbed around the eyes and nose, then the neck, trunk, limbs, abdomen and tail are treated. 20 minutes after treatment, the animal's hair is combed with a comb. To destroy ixodid ticks on the body of the animal, the drug is applied to the tick and the place of its attachment to the skin (one press on the spray head). If the tick does not spontaneously fall off within 20-30 minutes, it is carefully pulled out with tweezers and destroyed. For prophylactic purposes, treatment is carried out according to indications, but not more often than once a month against insects and not more often than once every 14 days against ixodid ticks (during the season of their parasitism). In order to prevent re-infestation by fleas, bedding, blankets and other animal care items are sprayed at the rate of 2 ml (four clicks on the spray head) per 1 m2 of the treated surface. Within three days, do not allow the animal to come into contact with the treated items, and before subsequent use, they are washed (washed) with a detergent. When cats are affected by notoedrosis, and dogs by sarcoptic mange, the drug is applied to the affected areas of the body previously cleaned of scabs with the capture of borderline healthy skin up to 1 cm at the rate of 1 ml (two clicks on the spray head) per 10 cm2 of the affected area of the animal's body. The treatment is carried out 2-4 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 extensive lesions are treated in 2 doses with an interval of 1 day, applying the drug to the affected areas first of one and then of the other half of the body. For the treatment of dogs and cats with the ear form of scabies (otodectosis), the external auditory canal is cleaned of scabs and crusts, then, directing the aerosol torch to the inner surface of the auricle, 1-2 presses on the spray head are performed, then the auricle is folded in half lengthwise and massaged its foundation. The treatment is repeated 2-3 times with an interval of 5-7 days. Both ears are necessarily treated, even if only one ear is affected by otodectosis. With otodectosis complicated by otitis media, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed. If necessary, repeat the course of treatment. Until the coat is completely dry, animals should not be allowed to lick the preparation, let them near open fire and heating devices.Within 48 hours after treatment, the animal should not be bathed or allowed near small children.

Shampoo reviews

The shampoo, according to dog breeders, is an excellent prophylactic agent for the care of the dog's coat and skin, suitable for eliminating fleas, but ineffective against ticks in places of their high concentration, for example, in the forest. The disadvantage of dog breeders is the specific smell of shampoo.

The use of the drug for the treatment or prevention of productive individuals is prohibited. Opposite drops should not be applied auricular if there is a confirmed perforation of the tympanic membrane.

Other Bars preparations: collars and spray

Other parasite products from the Bars line - shampoos, collars and spray - are also very effective against fleas.

The flea collar Bars is very convenient in that it is constantly attached to the animal and helps not only in expelling parasites already living on a cat or dog, but also prevents re-infection. These flea collars are good to use to consolidate the effect after sanitizing your pet with flea spray or drops.

Before putting on the collar, it is recommended to wash the animal with Bars shampoo.

Important!
After sanitizing with any preparation from the Bars line against fleas for dogs and cats, be sure to wash your hands well with detergent. The drug, although not toxic to humans, is quite capable of causing irritation and allergies.

The active medicinal substance in the collar (fipronil) gradually enters the skin of the animal, exerting a long-term insecticidal effect on fleas. The collar also protects from other types of parasites: hair follicles, lice, ticks, it can be used for cheiletiosis.

Before putting on a collar for an animal or applying any flea remedy from the Bars line, you should carefully read the instructions and contraindications.

Often, in addition to drops and a collar, another remedy is used to kill fleas - Bars flea spray. Owner reviews confirm the effectiveness of its use. The spray can also help fight mites and is best applied outdoors.

When using the product in the form of a spray, you need to put a muzzle on the dog to prevent the drug from licking. During spraying, the bottle is kept strictly vertically at a distance of about 30 cm from the animal's fur, and the product is applied evenly on the coat and on the skin (when applying, it is advisable to spread the wool with your fingers).

During processing, the eyes and ears are closed to the pet to avoid getting aerosol into them.

Additional processing is necessary to subject the bedding and sunbeds on which the animal usually rests (flea larvae often develop there), after which they should be thoroughly washed with the use of detergents.

According to the instructions, after sanitization, it is not recommended to let the animal close to children and iron it for 2 days.

There are several types of flea spray that are suitable for dogs and cats of different ages, so be sure to check with the store for what age the drug is intended for.

On a note
Since the flea spray Bars contains insecticides, it should be stored in industrial packaging away from children and food.

Prescribing the drug

Drops "Bars" - a whole line of modern antiparasitic agents intended for the treatment of entomosis, notoedrosis, sarcoptic mange, otodectosis, cheiletiellosis, as well as for getting rid of the dog from ixodid ticks. In addition, the drug has a pronounced prophylactic effect and prevents re-infection of the animal with parasites over a certain period of time:

eye drops "Bars" - a highly effective agent used in the prevention and treatment of eye diseases in dogs;
drops "Bars" from fleas and ticks - a drug prescribed to a four-legged pet in the treatment and prevention of arachno-entomosis;
ear drops "Bars" are a modern insectoacaricidal agent intended for the prevention and symptomatic treatment of otodectosis, or ear scabies.

Special attention should be paid to the drops "Bars" from fleas and ticks, which are prescribed to dogs from eight weeks of age and are used for the prevention or treatment of entomoses, including lice, fleas and lice infestations, as well as for the treatment of sarcoptic mange and otodectosis, notoedrosis and cheiletiellosis. The agent shows high efficiency when a dog is affected by ixodid ticks.

The action of anti-drip drops is based on the following auxiliary components and active substances:

fipronil - in an amount of 50 mg / ml;
dicarboximide (MGK-264) - in an amount of 5 mg / ml;
diflubenzuron - in an amount of 1 mg / ml.

The mechanism of action of the active substance fipronil, which is part of the veterinary medicinal product, is the effective blocking of GABA-dependent receptors in various ectoparasites. Also, this agent disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses, quickly causing paralysis and death of ectoparasites.

It is interesting! The domestic development organization NVTs Agrovetzashchita LLC has launched several forms of Bars drops at once, but the younger generation drug has significant differences from the modern Bars Forte product, including the concentration of insecticides affecting parasites.

Diflubenzuron inhibits the synthesis of chitin in ectoparasites, and also disrupts the molting and oviposition processes, which minimizes the hatchability of larvae from the eggs laid by the parasite and causes the growth of their population to stop.Active dicarboximide is a synergist and is used with insecticidal ingredients to enhance their effectiveness. The component contributes to the complete cessation of microsomal detoxification of the insecticide, significantly increasing the level of its toxicity for ectoparasites.

Benefits of the drug

The flea leopard has a number of advantages over other similar products. This is the newest, non-toxic for animals and extremely effective drug that kills even fleas, lice, and lice that have managed to multiply en masse. Its high efficiency is explained by the coordinated action of 3 active components at once.

Bars drops are considered moderately hazardous and in recommended doses do not irritate the pet's skin, do not poison or sensitize its body. They have a local irritant effect only when the dog gets into the mucous membranes of the eyes.

Another advantage of this drug is its ease of use - thanks to the pipettes, which contain a very small amount of insecticidal liquid, you can choose and purchase as much medicine as you need.

The advantages of Bars Forte drops are as follows. They are:

protect dogs from parasitic insects and ticks for 1-2 months;
destroy both adults and larvae and eggs;
they are distinguished by a repellent effect, therefore, they scare away even mosquitoes from the animal;
prevent diseases that can be carried by fleas and other parasites.

Exactly the same effect for Bars Forte drops, intended for puppies.

Side effects

Under conditions of adherence to the dosage recommended by the manufacturer of the drug, side effects are not observed. Symptoms of poisoning appear a couple of days after the drug enters the animal's body, and can be represented by:

salivation (drooling);
apathy;
paresthesia (skin sensitivity disorder;
tremor;
coordination disorders in movements;
convulsions.

The clinical manifestations of poisoning include vomiting, hypothermia and lethargy, ataxia and bradycardia, a decrease in blood pressure and disturbances in the passage of contents through the intestinal tract.

It is interesting! At the first signs of intoxication of a pet with an insectoacaricidal agent, you must immediately seek qualified veterinary help at the nearest hospital.

The animal most often has hyperglycemia or severe polyuria. There is no specific antidote, therefore, the treatment of poisoning is symptomatic.

Benefits of drops on the withers against fleas and ticks Bars

Choosing among the many antiparasitic agents presented today in veterinary pharmacies, you must definitely pay attention to the products of a domestic manufacturer. Preparations for parasites have proven themselves from a fairly good side.

How to apply

The drug can be used for antiparasitic treatment of dogs of different breeds, starting from 3 months of age, when the weight will be more than 2 kg. On sale they are in the form of a box with four pipettes placed inside. Each contains a dose of a one-time procedure for an animal weighing from 2 to 10 kg. Accordingly, if the weight of the dog is more, more ampoules will be required:

2 pcs. for weight from 10 to 20 kg;
3 pcs. for 20-30 kg;
4 things.- from 30 and more kilograms.

According to the instructions contained in the instruction, the procedure for treating a four-legged friend with the use of Bars drops must be performed at one time.

Initially, it is worth carefully cutting off the tip of the pipette and applying its contents to the dog's withers. In order for the drops to hit the skin, the wool must be spread apart with your fingers. After completing the procedure, try to isolate the animal for 48 hours. During this period, it should not be ironed or washed. It is not recommended to let children play with your pet.

To enhance the effect, you can disinfect the bedding. It is advisable to use for these purposes means of the same series as the drops.

The most important thing is that Bars drops against parasites and pests are harmless to dogs. Side effects and poisoning are rare

If you use the product in accordance with the recommendations that the instructions contain, the pet will not feel discomfort after treatment.

Sometimes, due to individual sensitivity, a dog may experience:

increased salivation;
vomiting;
shiver.

Safety and hygiene measures

It is imperative to work with drops in disposable rubber gloves.

With extreme caution, you need to take your own protection in the event that there are wounds and other skin lesions on the hands, through which the agent can enter the blood

After working with drops, wash your hands thoroughly with soap, even if they were wearing gloves.

Be sure to take care that the contents of the pipettes do not get on dishes, food, on the skin of people and other animals, except for the immediate object of processing. If this does happen, the skin should be rinsed with plenty of running water, wiped with a soft cloth and washed again thoroughly.

The first day after treatment, until the drug is completely absorbed into the skin, the cat should not be stroked. Keep the animal away from children for the same period.

Important! Despite the fact that Bars drops are generally well tolerated by cats and dogs, they are poisonous for rabbits, fish and amphibians.

It should also be borne in mind that if, in general, nothing bad happens from getting the drug on the skin of a person (provided, of course, that it will not be swallowed as a result of the fact that you take food with unwashed hands), then on the mucous membrane it will definitely irritate you. Therefore, eyes should be especially taken care of during work.

Disadvantages of the drug

A serious disadvantage is the intoxication of the animal if it accidentally licks off the drops. Therefore, it is necessary to apply them strictly to the places indicated in the instructions. If several pets are being processed at once, they are temporarily fenced off from each other.

Some buyers claim that the product does not completely kill fleas. This is due to the special vitality of the parasites and the laying of eggs in different places. If the proper effect after processing does not occur, then it is necessary to process animal bedding, carpets in the house and upholstered furniture. But this is an extreme option, which is rare with improper care of pets and too many of them in a small area.

Among the reviews, you can also find complaints that after processing the wool becomes oily. But many are willing to endure a temporary inconvenience, because the price of the drug is quite low.

Precautions

Reviews of owners and veterinarians

“I have been working as a veterinarian for many years and during my practice I have tried different insecticidal preparations. I usually recommend Bars Forte drops for prophylaxis or for weak lesions by ectoparasites. But the ear remedy of this company helps perfectly even with advanced otitis media. "

Sergey, 42 years old, Krasnodar

“We live in our own house, and the dog is constantly walking in the yard, so fleas are a frequent problem for us. To minimize insect attacks, I treat Felix with Bars Forte spray for prophylaxis, and in the summer-autumn period, when there are a lot of parasites, I use drops. "

Natalia, 27 years old, Rostov-on-Don

“Our Bonya is a pet dog that rarely goes outside. So when I found ticks in her, I panicked. The veterinarian advised the Bars Forte insectoacaricidal drops with citronella essential oil. I never thought that such a cheap remedy could be so effective. Now I try to keep it always at hand just in case. "

Anna, 33 years old, Perm

Insecto-acaricidal line of Bars Forte products collects a lot of positive feedback from dog owners. The drugs are not only distinguished by a democratic price, but also have a low level of toxicity and high efficiency.

The principle of operation of drops and the degree of danger

The main active ingredients are fipronil, diflubenzuron, dicarboximide and cintorella oil. Each of them has its own mechanism of action:

Fipronil is a pesticide that works as a paralytic poison, disrupting the transmission of nerve impulses. This leads to paralysis and death of adult insects.
Diflubenzuron is also a pesticide. Blocks the formation of chitin in arthropods, in which the growth process occurs during its synthesis. Due to this, the exit of the larva from the egg is blocked.
Dicarboximide acts as a synergist, inhibiting the development of enzymes in insects that neutralize poison in the body. As a result, the pesticidal properties of other active substances increase.
Cintorella oil repels insects and prevents them from attacking.

Insecticides are not absorbed into the bloodstream, but are distributed over the skin. They stay in the dermis, hair follicles and sebaceous glands, providing the pet with protection from parasites for a long time.

Drops are intended for one-time treatment for medicinal purposes. This means that a single application is usually sufficient to completely eliminate insects.

All active substances have a prolonged effect, this allows the use of drops to prevent insect infestation and to protect against relapse after healing. Protective properties persist for 2 months from fleas and 1 month from ticks.
