Feedback from cat owners

Be attentive to your pets, take care to protect them from attacks by parasitic insects immediately upon the onset of the warm season. This will save cats from restless tenants and protect them from diseases they carry. After all, we are responsible for those we tame.

Fleas are ectoparasites that plague not only stray but also domestic animals. They cause painful itching in pets, weaken the immune system, and spread dangerous infectious diseases and worm eggs. Therefore, it is important to choose a drug to get rid of fleas that will cope with the “scourge” as quickly as possible and will not harm the pet.

Name Quantity and volume per package Composition

The listed remedies are effective not only against fleas, but also against lice-eaters, various types of ticks, and lice. Dropper pipettes are packaged in cardboard boxes with detailed instructions for use.

When applied cutaneously, fipronil accumulates in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, practically not being absorbed into the blood. Penetrating into the body of a flea by contact or intestinal means, it disrupts the propagation of nerve impulses, which causes paralysis and subsequent death of the insect. Diflubenzuron, another insecticide in the composition, affects the formation of chitin in fleas, making the normal process of molting and oviposition impossible.

As you can see, the effectiveness of Bars Forte drops for cats against fleas and other ectoparasites is due to its well-thought-out composition. The same combination of active ingredients allows the drops to protect tailed pets from repeated invasions of ectoparasites for a long time.

Due to the low toxicity of the components (Bars is classified as a low-hazard substance), the drug is easily tolerated by cats of different ages and does not cause poisoning or irritation.

Since Bars brand drugs have been on the market for quite a long time and have repeatedly confirmed their high effectiveness, many people who have been faced with the issue of removing fleas and ticks from their pets have already tried them. Now they are ready to share their experience of using such an antiparasitic agent, some opinions about it are given below:

1. Nikolay: “Bars helped me a lot in ridding my cats of subcutaneous mites; before that I used other drugs, including more expensive ones, but there was no result. At first I was afraid to use it, so first I applied a small amount to all cats and looked at the reaction; within 24 hours no allergies or side effects appeared. After that, I carried out a full treatment in accordance with the instructions, my pets tolerated it quite well.”
2. Marina: “I heard a lot of negative reviews, but after the first use Bars showed very good results. I recommended it to my neighbor; her cats also tolerated the treatment process well. A total of seven cats were treated and none had an allergic reaction. But it is necessary to take into account that animals are treated with insecticides, and there is always a certain risk of getting a bunch of side effects if the cat has an individual intolerance. The main thing is to isolate the animals from each other, since they can lick the poison from each other if they continue to be in active contact.”
3. Alexander: “I treat Spitz, Chow Chow and German Shepherd with Bars, it has the same positive effect on everyone. Before this, I couldn’t find a suitable remedy for a long time: I had an acute allergy to some, and after using others I had to administer an antidote. These drops were recommended by a neighbor who often goes hunting with his dogs, from where they bring all sorts of parasites. By the way, the price of Bars is much lower than that of those products that I chose on my own and which in the end did not work. Therefore, as they say, all that glitters is not gold.”
4. Ivan: “At first I used other means, but they failed too often and I began to find parasites in the dog even after treatment, so I gradually switched to Bars. I am very pleased that, unlike most other drip products, it does not have the typical chemical smell. For a very long time there were no complaints about this drug, but recently I noticed that it has become ineffective against ticks; perhaps these parasites have adapted to the product, since it still effectively exterminates fleas. Apparently, in the near future we will have to again select a new drug that will protect against all types of parasites.”

I live in my own house. Cats naturally walk outside, which means they communicate with other animals, perhaps even stray ones. Therefore, once every 2 months, without waiting for fleas, I give them Bars drops. I didn’t notice any unpleasant consequences for cats. And, most importantly, fleas do not bother them. Lyudmila

I found a little red kitten on the street and took it home. I immediately decided to treat him for fleas. I didn’t know the exact age; it was difficult to find suitable drops. I chose Bars Forte for kittens, I was satisfied with the drug: no side effects, the pipettes were convenient to use, the fleas disappeared immediately. I recommend it to everyone. Zhanna

I am breeding British dogs. And although the animals are mostly at home, I treat them with flea drops prophylactically. I tried a lot of medications, and as a result I settled on Bars drops - they are effective, convenient and last a long time. Yulia

The problem of fleas should not be neglected, because they can cause significant harm to the animal. To make the procedure for getting rid of parasites painless for both owners and pets, it is better to choose a reliable and effective remedy, such as Bars drops.

Operating principle

"Bars Forte" is an effective insect growth regulator, functioning at all stages of their development. Diflubenzuron kills the larva during molting. The substance prevents the formation of chitin, preventing the individual from changing its shell. As a result, she dies due to the destruction of the existing shell (cuticle), which could not withstand the transformation.

Fipronil belongs to the intestinal insecticides. Once the parasite enters the digestive tract, the functioning of its nervous system is disrupted, resulting in death from paralysis.

Citronella repels arthropods. The drug is effective in destroying:

• ticks (ixodid and sarcoptoid);
• fleas;
• lice eaters;
• lice.

Active substances accumulate in the sebaceous glands, being released onto the skin with their secretions. The action of insecticides is aimed at destroying arthropods; the drug does not enter the circulatory system of cats, therefore it is safe for them.

Contraindications and side effects

Blokhnet for cats: drops, instructions

An allergic reaction to one of the components is possible, the symptoms of which are excessive lacrimation, sneezing, coughing, and fever. Exceeding the dosage or getting the drug into the digestive tract during licking can lead to toxic poisoning, the symptoms of which are diarrhea, vomiting, muscle tremors, fever, and possible convulsions. If symptoms of poisoning or allergy are detected, you should immediately wash the treatment area and seek veterinary help at the clinic.

The package contains 2 ready-made pipettes

The drug is not suitable for treating infected, weakened after illness, individuals under 8 weeks of age, pregnant and lactating females. It is forbidden to treat a cat with wet fur, if there are scratches, abrasions or damage at the treatment site.

Note! It is strictly not recommended to use drops in combination with other drugs of a similar effect (collars, shampoos, sprays), as this can provoke an overdose of the active substance fipronil and poisoning of the pet.

Instructions for use

Drops are applied to intact areas of the skin, in places that are difficult to lick. Traditionally, the withers, the area between the shoulder blades, or the crown are selected for processing.

In case of infection with ixodid ticks, a drop of the product is applied to each parasite found. After 20-30 minutes it will fall off or become suitable for easy, safe removal. An untreated tick adheres tightly to the tissues of its host. When trying to pull it out, a person can tear off the body, leaving the head inside, which provokes inflammation.

Animals infected with fleas weighing 5–10 kg will require a dosage of 1.8 ml.

Dogs should be treated at the rate of 0.18 ml of the drug per 1 kg. For cats, according to the instructions, the figure is 0.1 ml/kg.

For animals weighing less than 1 kg, 2 drops from a 0.5 ml package are enough. The remaining drug cannot be stored for long periods of time.

It is recommended to limit contact of a pet treated with drops with other animals or children for 24 hours after the treatment procedure.

The drug protects against fleas and ticks for 1–2 months. Re-application of the medicine is possible no earlier than after 30 days.

BARS FORTE – drops for kittens against ticks, fleas, lice and lice pack. 3 AVZ pipettes

BARS is a Russian trademark, which since 1993 has been developing and producing medicines for animals.

COMPOSITION AND FORM OF RELEASE

Insect-acaricidal drops Bars Forte contain fipronil and an insect growth regulator, as well as excipients as active ingredients. In appearance they are a transparent, oily, yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. 1 ml is packaged in polymer dropper pipettes, which are packed in cardboard boxes of 3 pieces.

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Insecto-acaricidal drops Bars Forte have a detrimental effect on larvae and mature ticks of the Ixodidae family, Sarcoptes cati, Cheyletiella jascuri and Notoedres cati ticks and insects Linognathus setosus, Trichodectes canis and Ctenocephalides felis. The high insecticidal and acaricidal activity of the drops is due to the presence of fipronil and an insect growth regulator in their composition. The mechanism of action of fipronil is to block the GABA-dependent receptors of the parasite and disrupt neuromuscular transmission, which leads to its paralysis and death. The insect growth regulator inhibits the processes of chitin formation, disrupts the processes of molting, pupation and fledging of the parasite. In terms of the degree of impact on the body of warm-blooded animals, the drug is classified as a moderately dangerous substance and in recommended doses does not have a teratogenic, embryotoxic or locally irritating effect.

INDICATIONS

The duration of the protective effect is: against ticks - 4 weeks; against fleas - 3 months. The repeated procedure should be carried out no more than once a month. In order to prevent re-infestation, the animal's bedding should be replaced or treated with an insecticidal acaricidal spray in accordance with the instructions for use.

Reviews

Anna: “The dog picked up fleas from the street and infected our two Persians. The pet store offered Bars Forte. It killed the parasites quickly.”

Stepan: “The cat at the dacha disappeared for 2 days. She returned - her ears and stomach were covered in ticks. It's impossible to get them out. He dug on the already swollen parasites with “Barsom”. After half an hour, some of the ticks fell off on their own. The rest were easily pulled out with tweezers. Now we use Bars Forte every season.

Lida: “We picked up a cat on the street. In addition to fleas, the vet found small ticks (we thought she had lichen). When asked to recommend an effective and inexpensive drug, he named “Bars Forte”. After using the drops, the fleas quickly disappeared. The irritation also went away. This means that the ticks died. It’s convenient that you don’t need to use different remedies against each parasite.”

“Bars Forte” effectively protects the cat while outdoors. The drops will repel ticks, fleas and other arthropod parasites. If insects have already settled on animals, the product will kill larvae and adults.

The active ingredient of the drug and the method of its effect on fleas

The flea remedy Bars contains the main active ingredient fipronil. It is a slow-acting insecticide that affects the nervous system of fleas and other parasites. When applied to a cat's skin, it penetrates into its upper layer - the epidermis, and lingers in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. The drug is not absorbed into the blood.

When an insect bites through the skin of an animal, a toxic substance enters its body and causes overexcitation of the nervous system, leading to paralysis and subsequent death. Complete destruction of fleas occurs 7-10 hours after applying the drug to the skin. Fipronil, in combination with other components included in Bars drops, has the same effect on insect larvae.

Due to the fact that fipronil is not washed off with water and is not exposed to sunlight, its protective property lasts up to two months. Insects are sensitive to a specific odor, so a pet treated with Bars anti-flea drops is protected from re-infection for a long time.

special instructions

In order to prevent re-infestation, the animal's bedding should be replaced or treated with an insecticidal acaricidal spray in accordance with the instructions for use. After using the medicine, it is recommended to wash your hands thoroughly with soap or use rubber gloves. In case of accidental contact with mucous membranes and skin, immediately remove any remaining drug using a cotton swab and rinse with warm water. Within 24 hours after treatment, the animal should not be petted or allowed near small children.
