The well-known Russian company is the largest developer and manufacturer of veterinary drugs. Using innovative technologies, modern equipment and safe components, she strives to improve the quality of life and health of pets. One of the widely used drugs is Dana drops for dogs and cats, intended to destroy ectoparasites. The Dana line of insecticidal preparations includes highly effective products approved for use for various age categories of pets.
Fleas, ticks, lice eaters and other insects can cause great harm to people and their pets. Dangerous pests are carriers of severe infectious diseases, which they infect their victims with when they bite. The presence of fleas is quite easy to determine in a cat or dog. The animal itches, becomes restless, frantically bites into its fur, wanting to get rid of the discomfort. The presence of these and other signs indicates that it is necessary to contact a veterinary institution and purchase Dana flea medication, which is applied to the withers. The use of these drops will quickly and effectively rid your pet of annoying and dangerous parasites.
Characteristics of drip preparations Dana
Drops Dana Ultra Neo
Insecticidal medicines of the Dana brand are produced in convenient plastic pipettes or dropper bottles, which allow strictly dosed drip (spot-on) application of the drug to the skin of the animal in a place inaccessible to licking on the back between the shoulder blades or on the withers of the pet. The insectoacaricidal drug contains fipronil, which has a pronounced activity against ticks, fleas, lice and lice at various stages of development.
Dan's flea drops, instructions for which are included in each package of the drug, are safe for the cats and dogs they treat, as well as people. The active substance has a nerve-paralytic effect on the body of parasites, resulting in paralysis and death of ticks and other bloodsuckers. When working with the drug, you must follow all the instructions set out in the instructions for the drops, especially regarding the rules for applying the composition, dosage and type of animal.
The use of any of the products presented in the Dana line of drugs excludes the possibility of treating weakened or sick animals with it without first consulting a veterinarian. The drops are applied directly to the pet’s dry, healthy skin at the withers. After use, the drug should be allowed to distribute evenly over the treated area of the body. Dana flea drops, consumer reviews indicate this, are tolerated by animals without any consequences. However, veterinarians advise observing your pet’s behavior throughout the day and if symptoms of poisoning appear, immediately contact a specialist at the clinic.

Review
We picked up a stray kitten on the street. There were visibly and invisibly fleas on him. We decided not to risk it and seek help from a veterinarian. After examining the pet, the specialist approximately determined the baby’s age and recommended taking Dan drops for kittens. The foundling tolerated the treatment calmly and literally a few days later the bloodsuckers died. A good remedy.

Dosage of Comfortis tablets
Considering the presence of a certain concentration of toxic substances in the drug, its dosage must be approached with particular care. The manufacturer took this point into account, so the instructions for Comfortis tablets explain in great detail the required volume of the drug in relation to the weight, age and type of animal
Comfortis for cats is suggested to be used in an amount of 50 to 100 mg per kilogram of body weight. Similarly, it is worth calculating the dosage for indoor dogs of small breeds. At the same time, for large dogs the drug is dosed at the rate of 50–70 mg per kilogram of weight.
The tablets are taken to animals along with food. To make the animal feel more comfortable about an unfamiliar object in a bowl of food, the tablets are given the smell of meat food.
Rules for using flea drops Dana
Despite the fact that Dana flea drops for cats or dogs on the withers are a low-toxic drug, it is necessary to prevent the treated cat or dog from licking the medicine. They should be applied very carefully to avoid possible consequences that may arise if your beloved cat manages to lick off the drops.
The manufacturer does not recommend applying the composition to animals that have not reached the age of 10 weeks, as well as drips of the product to pregnant, lactating and weakened pets. The volume and number of pipettes with drops contained in the packages correspond to the age and weight characteristics of the pets.
The activity of the drops remains for 2 months, so re-treatment may be necessary only as a last resort. The medicine begins to act approximately one day after application. It is not washed off with water, so the animal can be bathed without fear that the drops will lose their properties. The description attached to each package of the insecticidal product indicates that it can be used not only to destroy ectoparasites, but also to treat some common cat and dog diseases.

Review
After a walk in the forest I found a tick on my dog. I tried to remove it myself, but the attempt was unsuccessful. I had to go to the veterinary clinic. The doctor advised me to buy Dana flea drops, with which you can quickly deal with the problem.
Konstantin, Serpukhov
Dana's flea remedy for cats and dogs, as stated in the review, can be successfully used to remove ticks from the body of animals. To do this, a few drops of the medicinal composition are applied directly to the insect, which will fall off on its own after about half an hour. When treating ear scabies, it is recommended to instill drops directly into the ear canal, after first cleaning the animal’s ears from mite waste products. You should pay attention to the fact that the medicine is injected into both ears to avoid transfer of infection from the diseased organ to the healthy one.
Drops can also be used to treat various skin infections caused by mites. The composition is applied to damaged areas of the body using cotton swabs soaked in an insecticidal substance.
General recommendations
Treatment of adult cats against fleas is carried out according to indications, that is, when fleas are detected in the animal and for preventive purposes.
Kittens are treated from the age of one month, if necessary. Kittens become infected from their mother, so it is advisable to remove fleas from a cat before she has offspring.
During processing, the drug is selected taking into account age and physiological condition (pregnant, lactating, having certain health problems).
After the animal’s fleas are destroyed, preventive treatments are carried out at the frequency specified in the instructions, or an anti-flea collar is put on, which is changed according to the time limits specified in the instructions for this drug.
When treating a cat for fleas, you need to take into account the development cycle of insects. If the product used does not destroy flea eggs and larvae, but only affects adult fleas, then the treatment is repeated after 10 days. This will guarantee the complete destruction of parasites that may hatch from eggs and larvae preserved after the first procedure.
We must not forget about grooming items, beds and rugs, where the cat spends most of its time - they should also be disinfested to avoid re-infection.

Review
Before leaving for the dacha, I decided to buy Dana Ultra Neo anti-flea drops. We have a domestic cat, but we considered it necessary to protect him from possible encounters with parasites. He tolerated the treatment calmly. I want to share my joy - not a single flea or tick was noticed on our pet. A very good remedy. I recommend.

Infection with exoparasites
Dogs and cats have long been home to fleas. It is even believed that this neighborhood is beneficial for both parties. A healthy animal has substances in its blood that inhibit the growth of parasites and slow down their activity. As a result, fleas do not cause any concern to the owner.
But as soon as the animal’s immunity decreases, the parasites begin to actively multiply. In this case, their population grows greatly and begins to cause only harm. This especially applies to pets. The pet begins to itch, suppuration may appear in the scratches, and the condition of the coat worsens. Young and old animals are especially affected by fleas. In addition, if a pet becomes infected with parasites on the street, they can get some kind of infectious disease.
This possibility is always present even for those animals that only walk in the yard. And if the owners take their pet to the forest or to the country, it can pick up more than just fleas. Exoparasites also include ixodid and ear mites, lice, and lice. All of them can carry infectious diseases and cause serious trouble to the animal.
